Preacher Lawson: Standup Delivers Cool Family Comedy - America's Got Talent 2017 

I wish I could go to America but I'm in Australia

lol

America's Got Talent I'm going to audition when I'm nine in August 2017

Ianna Torres what are you doing for your audition?

America's Got Talent I

PreacherLawson You were great!!

Can't wait to see what you preform next!!!!

PreacherLawson you're AMAZING!!

PreacherLawson loved your performance!

Dude you recovered from simons question so quick. Loved it

But he will have loads of time to prepare for next round. Cant wait!

Man he has good material.

He said he was a stand up comedian, so improvising is not a problem for him. Plus, I don't how much time he's been doing it but I guess those two jokes he made at the beginning are not the only ones he's making at all his shows.

The last part wasn't improvision. It was material he already had.

My pick to win he's funny af

AK Tech N indeed

im your 800th like

LittleMissiLover You have 3 top comments, yeesh.

LittleMissiLover

Any good stand up comedian would've nailed it (not saying he wasn't good). Improv & hecklers are a huge part of live shows

or he used the joke he was going to use the next round and now he has nothing.

oh okay, i see

Shit's fake that's why. He already knew Simon was supposed to ask him that. Stuff like this always happens on the show. I don't buy it.

lolhahah21 you must lead a very narrow, boring life, if you think everything is fake.

A. P. True. Probably he is jealous of really talented people XD

Stacy Metelus Lolz 😂😂😂

Stacy Metelus 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂spoke my mind! Lmao😅

If we gonna be runnin' from our problems, we may as well look fabulous while doing it.

that run though😂

usually comedians or normal people who like to make other people laugh they're not happy

Matthew Best Matthew Best I love to make people laugh i always try to entertain people but i'm not really happy , but as you said it depends on the person anyway i'm glad you're happy

IntroSpecktive That's what I had first thought as well. Also surprising to see you here. btw I watch your vids

IntroSpecktive didn't imagine you'd be here. And he is like Kevin Hart. One of the best smash RU-vidrs btw

Lol hi intro

IntroSpecktive Your videos are extremely funny and I wasn't expecting to see see out here 😂😂😂

It's like Chris Rock and Kevin Hart had a little love child

Lord Burton16 imo Lee Evans is the best comedian ever... but I get what you mean it's cos black people can say whatever they want and not be labelled as a racist

Stephen Currie true

Lee Evans? what are you insane, you even skipped the other good white comedians like Jim Carrey or Robin William

TheCeasar8 your opinion I prefer Lee Evans he was so funny

87 ' I hate when people do this. Just because someone says someone else is black or white doesn't mean their racist. Racist is when someone says something like "I hate black people im only friends with white people" that's racist

Jessica R ME TOO

Maybe

😂😂😂😂 Really

sàce aseŕa ćhoķ

No is Abdulrahman noor

😂😂😂 there's Kevin hart

Ghettoness TV can u enlighten me with that a little bit ? What did he mean?

Helen Kim Bible

So usually it would be a bible verse with the name of the book followed by page number colon paragraph. John is actually a book in the Bible but he made up lil john (a rapper) and a random page and paragraph number

*sorry I meant chapter number colon verse number

Ghettoness TV I wonder how many people clicked on 3:16 trying to see what happend at that time instead of reading the comment.

Lindsey T. My name is Angela and I support this nomination. 😂 ✌

My name's Gabe and I support this nomination. (2) #SorryNoCancerForMe

Lindsey T. yeahhhhhhhh that's would be awesome except him and tyra should do it together

PreacherLawson hope you win bro

Waldo his name is not preacher, his mom and other people wanted him to be one, and they said that to him while he was growing up, long story short, he decided to use that as his stage name

Acácio Capita Taca entrance doesn't mean you should win. his jokes sucked

Sochy _ OMFG I FEEL YOU MOST OF THEM ARE FROM ENGLAND AND THEY TALK ABOUT ENGLISH SHUFFF 😂😂😂

chloe and illusions England is my city

Me

Hell - enakii he had done a bunch of stand up comedy on his RU-vid channel, and he has lots of jokes planned out on there. He's performed most of them on agt and his youtube

Very unlikely, he’d be gambling his pass through

It was absolutely set up. He only performed for one minute, not the two minutes he knew he had, because he knew Simon was going to ask for more.

he didnt u idiot

Andr3wco7 you are alive?

TheGarfieldxx30000 Resigned. :/

arjun gupta I miss him. He's so awesome

Yeah so do I. He was really entertaining. Hopefully Tyra Banks does well too

resigned means he quit. srsly tho wtf why is this video in my recommended?

arjun gupta no he said something inappropriate and got fired

I got you the hundredth like

what does Lil jon 3:16 mean? he refers to the rap singer?

dolpx yes it does refer to the rapper, john 3:16 is one of the most known verses in the bible, so he combined them for comedic purposes.

Mocking the bible. This is so wrong yet people think it's hilarious.

Marimar Rivera he's not even mocking the Bible. He's making a joke that happens to related to the Bible. He is neither criticizing the Bible or Christianity.

Yadiel Rocha you mean half Brother

Yadiel Rocha you mean Eddie Murphy has a secret son

I Don't want A name no not at all lmao

No comparison, Kevin Hart is a professional, I personally didn't find him funny, not my sense of humor

reminded me of Eddie Murphy lol

Why, because he's black? I bet if he was white you wouldn't have said that.

Mezzy Way no because he's enthusiastic and has a lot of energy😌

That's Tyra!

Can't wait to see you, probably be the first fun if its fun so ;)

Hunter Blake I'm so glad I'm not the only one

Weli7272 what happen to him??!!

DJBlueBird I don't know, it's stupid they don't have him this season

Aaron Foisey not true He made a joke in his radio the head of agt heard this and threatened to fire him But then he just quit it makes not sense but it happened

This is what nick cannon said it was very hard to type I write this from a deeply saddened and dolorous mindset. After days of deliberating over some extremely disappointing news that I was being threatened with termination by Executives because of a comedy special that was only intended to bring communities closer together, I was to be punished for a joke. This has weighed heavy on my spirit. It was brought to my attention by my "team" that NBC believed that I was in breach of contract because I had disparaged their brand. In my defense, I would ask how so? Or is this just another way to silence and control an outspoken voice who often battles the establishment. Recently many of my mentors have cautioned me that soon "The System" would come down on me because I was speaking too many truths and being to loud about it. I had no idea that it all would hit so close to home. I find myself in a dark place having to make a decision that I wish I didn't have to, but as a man, an artist, and a voice for my community I will not be silenced, controlled or treated like a piece of property. There is no amount of money worth my dignity or my integrity. I have loved hosting AMERICAS GOT TALENT for the last 8 seasons, watching talented, brave, and courageous Americans accomplish their dreams in front of millions has been nothing but a joy, and everyone has been a pleasure to work with but my soul won't allow me to be in business with corporations that attempt to frown on freedom of speech, censor artists, and question cultural choices. Not to get too detailed but this isn't the first time executives have attempted to "put me in my place" for so called unruly actions. I will not stand for it. My moral principles will easily walk away from the millions of dollars they hang over my head. It's never been about the money for me, what is difficult to walk away from is the fans, the people who love me on the show. This hurts tremendously. I felt like I was apart of the fabric of our great nation every summer, representing every culture, age, gender, and demographic. Now for the rug to be pulled from underneath me and to be publicly reprimanded and ridiculed over a joke about my own race is completely wrong and I have to do something about it. I have fought many battles in my career and have never been afraid to go up against the system. I have mulled over my process for days and felt it was best to once again speak my mind about an unjust infrastructure that treat talent like they own them. Maybe it was my mistake for signing the contract in the first place, in which I will take full responsibility and have already taken action to restructure my own team of advisors. I now have to set out on a journey of freedom as an artist. As I was quoted in a recent interview, "You can't fire a Boss!" and that is the essence that I possess. So I wish AGT and NBC the best in its upcoming season but I can not see myself returning. As of lately I have even questioned if I want to even be apart of an industry who ultimately treats artists in this manner. Most of us don't realize that there are 6 major corporations that control 90 percent of media in America and the amount of minority executives is dismal. With this being the case, true equality in our industry is impossible. There will always be a "do as I say" mentality that mirrors society's perception of women and minorities, and only a few will stand up against it. I proudly stand as one of those few, and will gladly take on whatever repercussions that come with it. I love art and entertainment too much to watch it be ruined by controlling corporations and big business. I believe It's our duty as artists to make a difference and create change even if it's one act at a time. Dr. King said it best, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter"

Adam Gomez and 10000000x funny

Oh man gah da short jokes of Kevin Hart 😂
