Josh2Funny Blows Minds as he auditions at America’s Got Talent
Nigerian comedian and skit-maker, Josh Alfred, popularly known as Josh2Funny, has set the media buzzing after he purportedly filmed one of the greatest skits of all time on the America’s Got Talent show.
The content creator traveled all the way to the United States of America to audition for a chance to win the prize money of $ 1 million.
Upon getting on stage, Josh2Funny executed a 3-stage act which unfortunately started out with the judges, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofía Vergara, and Howie Mande rejecting him outrightly.
His first act involved going on stage as a speed reader who would read three books in under one minute. But when Josh read the books, he just mumbled all the words but this did not impress the four judges.
They refused to give him a pass to the next phase and then sent him off the stage. However, he did not give up, rather he did something they never expected which was to come back in a different outfit with a different name, more like a pun on his actual name.
Josh2Funny’s second act was being the ‘fastest rapper in the world’ known as J Hush and all he did was mumble his words like he did while speed reading. Simon, Heidi, and the other two still gave him No and turned him back.
He came back the third time on the same day as a magician identified as Terrifying Jay. The comedian used a deck of cards to try and perform magic but before he began, Howie gave him a NO buzzer.
The judges were initially perplexed, struggling to grasp the underlying message or joke, it had first left some of the judges irritated and confused until they caught in on his jokes.
Next, he used the host, Terry Crews to perform a mind control trick which eventually impressed Simon Cowell who gave him a pass to the next stage on behalf of his fellow judges.
The judges insisted that they were not impressed so he decided to channel the fast rapping which made the audience get off their seats, and give him a standing ovation with loud cheers, dances, and applause.
Sharing the viral clip on its official Twitter page, AGT captioned “Josh Alfred is not giving up!”
