Corky Miller Called ‘Very Likeable’ by ‘AGT’ Season 19 Judges
Fortunately for him and the crowd as a whole, his jokes went over well, with even professional comic Howie Mandel laughing out loud at his insights about being old and not particularly tech-savvy.
Following a performance about the animals she takes care of and the “old lady things” she does every day, Howie described her as “fresh” because she’s not as experienced as Heidi Klum, who called her “so likable.”
Simon Cowell said Sofia Vergara “really loved it” and that her jokes came off as “real”. With great joy, every judge gave their vote to take Corky to the next round.
