Don McMillan stood out from all of the other comics in Season 17 in that he utilized charts and PowerPoint slides to illustrate his jokes. Previously in the audition, Simon Cowell was annoyed by Don and refused to give him a “yes” vote. But the grumpy judge readily admitted during the August 9 live episode that he had “changed his mind.” Don’s routine this week included gags about highway lanes, the cost of printer ink and how cell phones have upended our morning habits.
Host Terry Crews announced Avery and Drake as the highest vote-getters of the Qualifiers 1 round, and he also named Don as being in the Top 3. Close, but no cigar! Rounding out the Top 5, in no particular order, were acrobatic group Amoukanama and NFL singing group Players Choir. The remaining acts all came in 6th place through 11th place, with no more specific ranking information provided.
