As one of the youngest stand-up comedians to ever appear on the AGT stage, Hunter had the audience and judges laughing from start to finish, delivering jokes with the timing and confidence of a seasoned pro.
Hunter walked on stage with his dad, who introduced him to the audience, clearly proud and ready to support his son’s moment. But as soon as Hunter took the mic, he quickly made it clear who was in charge! The young comedian kicked things off with playful jabs about family life, joking about his dad’s parenting style and funny quirks. His jokes about everyday things—from how his dad watches football to how he handles “serious” family discussions—had everyone roaring with laughter.
What made Hunter’s performance even more special was his natural charisma. His delivery was spot-on, complete with exaggerated expressions, pauses, and punchlines that landed perfectly. The audience and judges were taken aback by his confidence and how naturally he commanded the stage.

When Hunter wrapped up, the audience erupted into applause, giving him a standing ovation. Even his dad looked stunned by how much his son had taken over the stage! Judge Howie Mandel, himself a comedian, praised Hunter’s sense of humor, saying he was “a natural born comedian” with an incredible future. Heidi Klum added that Hunter’s humor was refreshing, and Sofia Vergara called him “adorable” and “hilarious.”
