In this America’s Got Talent (AGT) video, comedian and licensed funeral director Shuler King delivers a hilarious stand-up routine, offering a unique and humorous perspective on his profession. The video begins with a playful exchange where Shuler jokingly explains how “two minutes could change your life,” humorously referencing how he had his children in that time.<\/p>\n
He then delves into the common disbelief people have about his profession, as he doesn’t fit the stereotypical “Undertaker” image, and pokes fun at morticians who act “dead too,” with cold hands and slow speech, only interested in discussing those nearing death.<\/p>\n
Shuler continues his routine by highlighting the absurd questions he frequently encounters, particularly if a deceased person has ever sat up and grabbed him. He emphatically states that if a dead body ever moved or grabbed him, it would be his last day on the job. The audience is then treated to a side-splitting anecdote about an incident where he genuinely believed a dead person had grabbed him. While loading a body into a hearse, the deceased’s hand unexpectedly fell and wrapped around his leg, leading to an incredibly embarrassing moment where he had to apologize to the family for “peeing on their daddy”.<\/p>\n
The judges’ reactions throughout the performance were overwhelmingly positive. The host praised Shuler, declaring that he “killed” and that his act was “brilliant”. Simon Cowell found him “fantastic” and agreed with his observations about other funeral directors.<\/p>\n
Sofia Vergara was captivated from the moment he walked on stage, calling him “amazing” and commending his humor, look, and energy. Howie Mandel particularly enjoyed Shuler’s “belly laugh” inducing performance and character, giving him the first “yes”. Ultimately, Shuler received four “yeses” from the judges, with Howie proclaiming him “without question the funniest person we’ve had this year”.
