Ventriloquist Michael Paul took the America’s Got Talent stage by storm with an unexpected twist—his hilarious partner, a feisty and sarcastic “bird of prey,” who had the judges and audience crying with laughter. From the moment he walked onstage, Paul had everyone intrigued. But it was when he unveiled his puppet—a hyper-opinionated vulture with a sharp tongue and perfect comedic timing—that the act soared to new heights.
Delivering witty banter, cheeky insults, and deadpan one-liners, the duo created a refreshingly original performance that blended old-school ventriloquism with modern, edgy humor. The bird’s personality was larger than life—snarky, skeptical, and somehow totally lovable. Even Simon Cowell cracked a rare, full smile as the act hit its punchlines with perfect pacing.
The crowd roared, and the judges didn’t hesitate. Michael Paul earned a resounding “YES!” and advanced to the next round, proving that comedy, creativity, and a cleverly crafted puppet can still win hearts—and big laughs—on the biggest talent stage in the world.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of ventriloquism or just love a good comedy act, Michael Paul and his bird are a must-watch. This performance truly ruffled feathers—in the best way possible.
