00:12:47Something

00:12:57Something
00:12:58I'm

00:13:01Something
00:13:01For
00:13:04For
00:13:05To be
00:13:05For
00:13:14To be
00:13:18for
00:13:19To be
00:13:31Give us your thoughts on Sophie, and we're going to start with you, Sarah.
00:13:36I was really emotional.
00:13:39You picked a song that clearly means a lot to you,
00:13:43and because it means so much to you, it meant a lot to me.
00:13:47I really felt that this song was you,
00:13:50and all you can ask for a singer is to make you feel something,
00:13:56and you just gave me all the feels tonight.
00:14:01Jelly Roll, to you.
00:14:05Sophie, I just want to tell you, first of all, that was, I think I speak for all of us.
00:14:09That was amazing.
00:14:10It was.
00:14:13There was moments where your voice was so quiet and so direct
00:14:18that I watched the whole room lean in together,
00:14:21and then you'd blow us back right after that,
00:14:23and then you'd make us lean right back in,
00:14:25and I realized halfway through that it wasn't just because you have a beautiful voice.
00:14:30There are so many people with a beautiful voice.
00:14:32There are a dime a dozen in this town,
00:14:33but it's that I believed every single note you sang.
00:14:37I believed you sung it from your soul.
00:14:39I believed it was a conviction.
00:14:44I don't, I mean, I'm very seldom lost for words,
00:14:47and I will say, and I'm trying not to cry when I say this.
00:14:49You said music was your happy place when life got hard.
00:14:55Girl, I relate.
00:14:56And boy, I could feel it in your spirit.
00:14:58I could hear it in the room, and you made it in my happy place.
00:15:01I felt safe for those three months.
00:15:06Chrissy.
00:15:08That was so beautiful.
00:15:10I think any challenges that you've had in life,
00:15:13you are on this stage,
00:15:14and you just showed your vocal ability to the world,
00:15:17and it's incredible.
00:15:18It's beautiful.
00:15:19It's really cool to see Billie Eilish done in a way that is powerful,
00:15:24and because, of course, Billie's got that, like, really breathy voice, right?
00:15:27So you could have gone that direction, but you decided to make it your own,
00:15:31and you had a really powerful, beautiful voice in it.
00:15:33It's one of my favorite songs.
00:15:35I think it's my number two on Spotify,
00:15:37only because John is number one because he plays himself a lot.
00:15:40But thank you for being on this stage,
00:15:42and thank you for allowing all of us to get to listen to your voice and see it.
00:15:48You know, Sophie, I'd just like to say thank you for blessing us with your gift.
00:15:53Sitting backstage, your voice is angelic.
00:15:57And listening to what the judges had to say about your performance,
00:16:00how do you feel about your performance this evening?
00:16:02Guys, I was crying.
00:16:04Wait, I'm sorry.
00:16:06This song just means so much to me.
00:16:10I mean, the Barbie movie itself was just all about empowerment
00:16:13and love and support for women.
00:16:17And as a young woman, that just means the world to me.
00:16:21And finding yourself is so important and being you.
00:16:25What was I made for?
00:16:27I was made to be me.
00:16:29That's what we all can be.
00:16:31That's all we can be.
00:16:33All right, judges, let's hear your scores.
00:16:39Chrissy?
00:16:39It's beautiful.
00:16:40Four stars.
00:16:43Jelly Roll.
00:16:45I'm riding with my friend Chrissy.
00:16:46Four stars.
00:16:48And Sarah?
00:16:50I'm glad you're you.
00:16:51I can't find.
00:16:52Oh!
00:16:55Sophie, that gives your judges score,
00:16:57your average judges score, a 4.3.
00:17:004.3 stars.
00:17:03Thank you, judges.
00:17:04Bear, please come join us on stage.
00:17:11So, is Bear Bailey retaining his title,
00:17:15or is challenger Sophie Saylor our new champion?

00:17:22Bear, the judges gave you a total score of four stars.

00:17:31the viewers around the world.
00:17:33They gave you...
00:17:364.2 stars.
00:17:38When we average that together,
00:17:40that's a final score of 4.11 stars.
00:17:45That is the score to beat.
00:17:50Now, Sophie, the judges gave you a 4.3.
00:17:55So now it all hangs on the viewers worldwide.
00:17:59Our fourth judge.
00:18:00They gave you 4.0 stars.
00:18:07That's the final score of...
00:18:114.17 stars, which means Sophie Saylor is our champion.
00:18:19You are the new music solo champion
00:18:22and are moving on to next week to defend your title.
00:18:29Bear, Bear, it's been great watching you, brother.
00:18:33Your star is signing.
00:18:35It will continue to sign.
00:18:37All right, ladies and gentlemen,
00:18:38give it up for Bear Bailey.
00:18:43All right.
00:18:44Thank you, Bear.
00:18:46That was so close.
00:18:48So close.
00:18:49Sophie, congratulations.
00:18:50I have to ask you,
00:18:51how does it feel to be the music solo champion?
00:18:55It feels like an honor.
00:18:58I mean, like,
00:18:59I never thought I would be here, honestly,
00:19:03and I worked so hard,
00:19:05and it means so much to me,
00:19:07and I get to be here,
00:19:11and that's insane,
00:19:12and to all the people at home,
00:19:15I love you so much,
00:19:16and thank you all so much.
00:19:17Well, not only do you get to be here,
00:19:21hopefully you stay here for quite some time,
00:19:23and I'm going to ask you to stay here with me center stage
00:19:26as I bring out our next competitions.
00:19:28We'll see you again next week
00:19:30when you face a brand-new challenger.
00:19:32Make some noise for your champion,
00:19:34Sophie Saylor.
00:19:37All right.
00:19:40Next up is the junior variety category.
00:19:43Our current champion Harry Merlin Piper is back.
00:19:47Can he hold on to his title?
00:19:50It's Harry Merlin Piper
00:19:51versus our youngest challenger yet,
00:19:54Kalen Fairchild.
00:19:56You are tonight's junior variety champion.
00:20:01Dude, you blew my mind.
00:20:03Last week was one of the greatest moments of my life.
00:20:06I know your dad is proud of you, man.
00:20:07I know your dad is proud of you.
00:20:11Wow, it felt emotional.
00:20:13See all my family and friends smile and have a good time
00:20:16and watch me.
00:20:17I just loved it.
00:20:19Now to be the one to beat is scary.
00:20:21I mean, what I've heard about my competitor,
00:20:23she's a monster in her field.
00:20:26She's amazing.
00:20:27She's incredible.
00:20:30She sounds pretty intimidating.
00:20:39Hi, I'm Kalen.
00:20:41I'm eight years old and I am an aerialist
00:20:43and my favorite color is rainbow.
00:20:48Hi, Harry.
00:20:49I thought you were going to be a bit taller and bigger.
00:20:51You're teeny.
00:20:52So?
00:20:53Oh, all right, all right.
00:20:55Did you watch my act last week?
00:20:56Yeah, what did you think?
00:21:01I might be young, but I love to compete.
00:21:05I don't need an introduction.
00:21:07I've been doing aerial a long time.
00:21:09Look at all my medals.
00:21:12When I was four, I would hang up my mom's scarf
00:21:16in the holes between my bed
00:21:17and I would turn my bedroom into a mini circus.
00:21:25I know my challenger is going to bring you,
00:21:28but I've got some secrets up my sleeve as well.
00:21:31Harry, the champion.
00:21:35He might try to make me disappear,
00:21:39but I can fly like a star, a shooting star.
00:21:44So you ready for this?
00:21:45Mm-hmm.
00:21:45Well, good luck.
00:21:46Good luck.

00:21:57the champion, Harry Merlin Piper.
00:22:04A wish doesn't need magic to come true.
00:22:08Just a moment.
00:22:10And magic isn't something to be afraid of.
00:22:11Jelly roll.
00:22:13Magic is something to enjoy.
00:22:14It lifts us.
00:22:15And in this crazy world we live in,
00:22:17we could all use a little bit of magic.
00:22:20And a star to make my wish come true.
00:22:23The jelly roll.
00:22:24It's your turn.
00:22:24Put your hand out for me.
00:22:26Bang.
00:22:27No, I'm joking.

00:22:30I'm so scared.
00:22:31Now, hold the star nice and tight.
00:22:32Don't drop it.
00:22:33Now, with your other hand,
00:22:34I want you to give me a number with your fingers.

00:22:39You ready?
00:22:39You ready?
00:22:40Give me a number.
00:22:40Go.
00:22:41With your fingers.
00:22:41Go.
00:22:41Number one to five.
00:22:43Two.
00:22:43Good decision.
00:22:45Now, Sarah.
00:22:46Yes.
00:22:46Chrissy.
00:22:47Yes.
00:22:47I can see you're a bit jealous.
00:22:48I think you want a star as well.
00:22:50Yeah, you do.
00:22:50Yeah, you do.
00:22:51Just don't worry.
00:22:52I've got a star for you as well.
00:22:54Oh, yeah.
00:22:54Put your hand out for me.
00:22:55Now, I want you to imagine,
00:22:57hold it tight.
00:22:57You've got colours in your hands.
00:22:58As an example, red and black.
00:23:00Put your other hand out.
00:23:02What have you got in the sand?
00:23:03Red or black?
00:23:05Did I see it?
00:23:05Yeah, yeah, say it.
00:23:06Red.
00:23:07So that means the wishing star is black.
00:23:10Good decision.
00:23:10We're in sync tonight.
00:23:12Mr. Legend, we can be mates.
00:23:14And now, what do you want?
00:23:16Clubs or spades?
00:23:19Spades.
00:23:20Good decision.
00:23:21Jelly roll.
00:23:22He looks scared.
00:23:23He looks scared.
00:23:24Now, Sarah, it's time to use your magic one more time
00:23:27because I've got to start for yourself.
00:23:29Hold it nice and tight.
00:23:30Now, everyone, cover their stars
00:23:31so the dream can't fly away.
00:23:33It's time to make magic come true.
00:23:34Use your magical power, Sarah.
00:23:38Sarah does have power.
00:23:40Uh-oh.
00:23:43One card.
00:23:44You could have named any card.
00:23:46We've got to the two of spades.
00:23:48The two of spades.
00:23:51But wait.
00:23:52Because tonight we want magic.
00:23:55Turn around the stars you've had in your hand this whole time.
00:23:57Look what it says on them.
00:23:58Two.
00:23:59Have a look.
00:23:59Show the camera.
00:24:00Two.
00:24:01Look.
00:24:01Of.
00:24:02Spades.
00:24:03Come on.
00:24:06But see, my dream is to perform worldwide live on Star Search
00:24:12in front of all these amazing people.
00:24:14And tonight, my dream is coming true.
00:24:20This is for you, Mom and Dad.
00:24:23Love you.
00:27:32And we appreciate that as judges getting to see all different forms of you.
00:27:36And that was just, that was, that was iconic.
00:27:38It was epic.
00:27:39It was amazing.
00:27:40Great job.
00:27:40Jelly roll.
00:27:41Oh, dude, you know what?
00:27:46You did the bait and switch again this week.
00:27:48You came up here.
00:27:49I've noticed your trick now.
00:27:50You do these cool things that are like party tricks to you.
00:27:53This is not even the real stuff.
00:27:54That's the real stuff.
00:27:55And I was still lost on the, on this stuff.
00:27:58I was still, I want everybody to know I'm, I'm an honest man, dude.
00:28:01I had nothing.
00:28:02I'm not in on this.
00:28:03I don't want to be in on this.
00:28:04I didn't like that you involved me.
00:28:07Dude, I didn't even know when, I mean, dude, it scared the shit out of me.
00:28:11I didn't see it coming.
00:28:12I didn't think my guardian angel seen it coming neither.
00:28:15Everything about that.
00:28:16I had to close my eyes at times.
00:28:17I don't, dude, what is happening?
00:28:19How old are you again?
00:28:21This is insane.
00:28:24This is insane.
00:28:2615 going to 18.
00:28:28Listen, you were, you were, you were so quick.
00:28:30You were so quick.
00:28:31I didn't know when to blink.
00:28:32So I didn't.
00:28:33And then, and then, and then you still got me and I was still lost like a meatball in spaghettis.
00:28:37You're, you're the dude, man.
00:28:38You are, I'm blown away, dog.
00:28:41Sarah.
00:28:42He's, Jelly's telling the truth.
00:28:44We had to remind him to go look up on stage because he was still staring at these.
00:28:47And let me tell you something.
00:28:48I was like, oh, these probably just turn.
00:28:50I bet they're, these are, they, this is just what it is.
00:28:53It is magic done so close.
00:28:55But your range is crazy.
00:28:57But also you did a trick tonight.
00:28:58I've never seen.
00:28:59I was like, oh, okay.
00:29:00He's going to put that through.
00:29:01And then it was on fire.
00:29:03And then there was one girl.
00:29:05And then there was two.
00:29:05And then there was three.
00:29:07I was like, that's got to be every 15 year old boy's dream.
00:29:09You could just make these girls appear.
00:29:10I mean, dad, you better watch his bedroom at night.
00:29:14Actually, the little girl at the end, she's my little cousin.
00:29:16So she said she wanted to appear on TV.
00:29:18So I've flown her out so she can appear on stage.
00:29:21Congrats.
00:29:22All right, well, let's, let's get the judges' scores.
00:29:27Chrissy.
00:29:30Four stars.
00:29:33Jelly roll.
00:29:35What do y'all think I gave him?
00:29:41Sarah.
00:29:42Just call me jelly tonight.
00:29:46That means your judge average score is 4.6 stars.
00:29:50That is half of Harry's final score.
00:29:53The other half comes from you at home.
00:29:55And we'll get to that result in a bit.
00:29:57But first, here's the challenger.
00:30:00Please welcome an eight-year-old with zero fear.
00:30:04Kalen Fairchild.
00:33:13And get busy.
00:33:14You can give one to five stars.
00:33:16Kayla needs your votes.
00:33:18Speaking of votes, let's go to the judges.
00:33:20Sarah, what did you think?
00:33:22I mean, you're eight years old.
00:33:24You are absolutely incredible.
00:33:27You're lying.
00:33:29Just watching your foot pointed, your hands out.
00:33:33I mean, you clearly have zero fear.
00:33:36I had a lot of fear.
00:33:37I had a lot of fear as a mom down here.
00:33:38I was like, oh, no, she's going to get hurt.
00:33:40So I just, you're beautiful up there.
00:33:43And if you're doing this at eight, I can't imagine at 18, you're going to be like, I don't know,
00:33:48split in half, flying on two.
00:33:49I can't even imagine.
00:33:50You were beautiful.
00:33:52You were beautiful.
00:33:54Chrissy.
00:33:58You guys, we kept looking at each other during your performance because we were like, how can somebody so tiny
00:34:03be this strong and beautiful?
00:34:05Like, the way you were moving, your body control, like, I, I, how long have you been doing this?
00:34:16Two, two years.
00:34:17What?
00:34:18What?
00:34:18Two years?
00:34:19Two years.
00:34:21Incredible job.
00:34:25Do you want to do like Cirque du Soleil or something one day?
00:34:29Say that again, Chrissy.
00:34:30You would be amazing.
00:34:31Do you want to do like Cirque or something in Vegas one day?
00:34:33Because you would be beautiful and incredible at it.
00:34:37Yep.
00:34:40Wonderful job.
00:34:41Jelly Roll.
00:34:43First of all, you are the cutest little nugget I think I've ever seen in my life.
00:34:46You are, me and my, me and my wife have baby fever and you just tripled that tonight.
00:34:50It's just, it is so cool.
00:34:53And I, I, I would assume that it's every eight-year-old's dream to fly.
00:34:59And you, young lady, made it happen.
00:35:01And you, young lady, actually took that leap and you learned how to fly.
00:35:05I mean, I, I don't know.
00:35:07I, I gotta ask you this because it's taking me like, I asked my friend this last night.
00:35:12On a scale of one to five stars, five stars being the most fun you've ever had.
00:35:16How many stars was that right there?
00:35:18I don't know.
00:35:19Oh!
00:35:20Oh, I like the honesty.
00:35:21But I'll tell you what it was.
00:35:23Hi.
00:35:24Yeah!
00:35:26There we go.
00:35:27Well, I know what it was for me, baby.
00:35:29That's for sure.
00:35:30Well, speaking of scores and fives, let's see what the judges scored you.
00:35:35Chrissy.
00:35:39Voting for this stuff is so hard because it's like, what do you compare it to?
00:35:45I gave you five stars.
00:35:51Jelly roll.
00:35:52What do y'all think I gave it?
00:35:54Five.
00:35:55Five stars.
00:35:57Sarah.
00:35:58Four stars.
00:36:00That's a judge's average of 4.6 stars.
00:36:05That's the same as Harry.
00:36:08And speaking of Harry, please come join us on stage, Harry.
00:36:12Woo!
00:36:14This is going to be a close one.
00:36:16Did Harry defend his title or is the challenger, Kaelin, our new champion?
00:36:23Let's find out.
00:36:25The worldwide results are in.

00:36:34And now for the crucial vote.
00:36:37Let's see what the viewers around the globe gave you.
00:36:434.1 stars.
00:36:45That's a final score of 4.4 stars.
00:36:51Now that is the score to beat.
00:36:55Kaelin, the judges gave you 4.6 stars.

00:37:24You are still the junior variety champion.

00:37:31That was another close one decided by 4 one-hundredths of a point.
00:37:38Kaelin, we all are wishing you nothing but the best.
00:37:42You were amazing.
00:37:44Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Kaelin Fairchild.
00:37:49You got it.
00:37:52Harry, congratulations, Harry.
00:37:56How do you feel?
00:37:58Wow.
00:37:59Incredible.
00:37:59It's amazing.
00:38:01I mean, next week, baby!
00:38:03Yeah!

00:38:11All right, who do you have in the audience tonight?
00:38:12So we got mom, dad, my auntie Lacey over there,
00:38:16and then friends over there, Ollie and Ella, they're coming to see us today.
00:38:18Family and friends in the audience cheering you on.
00:38:21How does that make you feel?
00:38:22I mean, thanks for coming.
00:38:25You've been an amazing audience tonight.
00:38:26And everyone, everyone's been amazing.
00:38:27All right.
00:38:29All right, we'll see you again next week
00:38:31as you defend your Junior Variety title against a new challenger.
00:38:35Make some noise for Harry Mott Merlin Piper.
00:38:37And let's make some noise for Kaelin Fairchild again,
00:38:41a star in the making.
00:38:46All right.
00:38:49Officer, kiss my booty.
00:38:52Would you like that big bell?
00:38:54$72,000 a week.
00:38:56I'll be over here by the bar.
00:39:00I'd like to take a look at a menu.
00:39:03No, give me a Ouija board and a crystal ball.
00:39:06Impression for you, my impression of a man in a hurry.
00:39:12Out of desperation, I let my aunt fix me up on a blind date.
00:39:16Heinous.
00:39:17That was her name, Heinous.
00:39:23Some incredible comedians there who all got their break on the original Star Search.
00:39:30And it's an honor to introduce one of them right now.
00:39:33Please show your love for Star Search alum and Roastmaster General, comedian Jeff Ross.
00:39:44Good to see you, Jeff.
00:39:47Good to see you, Jeff.
00:39:51Wow.
00:39:53All right.
00:39:54This show, this show is cutthroat.
00:39:58You just sent that little girl home.
00:40:01I was crying back there.
00:40:03Oh, man.
00:40:04It breaks hearts.
00:40:05Oh, my God.
00:40:06Look at me.
00:40:07So, Jeff.
00:40:08Anthony, look.
00:40:09I'm bribing the judges in this picture.
00:40:12I want to go back to the beginning when you had hair.
00:40:17How was it coming on to Star Search for the first time?
00:40:19I want to go back to the beginning.
00:40:20I loved you for so long.
00:40:22I loved you.
00:40:23I'm blackish.
00:40:23Now you look.
00:40:24Yes.
00:40:25Thank you, Jeff.
00:40:28And I love you now when you look Amish.
00:40:34I look exactly the same, don't I?
00:40:37Yeah, you do, baby.
00:40:37How was that first time?
00:40:40I got kicked out of the Beastie Boys.
00:40:43How was it for you?
00:40:44How did it go for you while you were on Star Search?
00:40:45I won my first episode, and then I lost my second one, and they sent me home.
00:40:51But you know what?
00:40:52It was one of the most exciting things that ever happened to me.
00:40:54It was my first time on TV, and my Aunt Bess watched it with all her friends.
00:41:00Yes.
00:41:00So, suddenly, I was in show business.
00:41:02Okay, there you go.
00:41:02It's always the beginning.
00:41:04So, good luck, everybody.
00:41:05Now, as the new Star Search host, I have to ask you this.
00:41:10Yes.
00:41:11How was Ed McMahon?
00:41:13Drunk.
00:41:16He mispronounced my name every single time we rehearsed it or did it.
00:41:21What did he say?
00:41:22What did he call it?
00:41:22He would say, first of all, Ross is my middle name.
00:41:26Okay.
00:41:26My real last name is Lipschultz.
00:41:29Lipschultz.
00:41:29So, every rehearsal or the show, he'd go, please welcome this week's challenger, Jeff Lipschultz.
00:41:37Or Jeff Lipschultz.
00:41:40And it screwed me up, and I decided on the flight home that I had to go to my middle
00:41:45name if I wanted to stay in show business.
00:41:47Jeff Ross.
00:41:48Okay, Jeff Ross.
00:41:48Well, Jeff Ross, I have something I'd like you to do.
00:41:51Yes.
00:41:51Well, Mr. Lipschultz, would you introduce the next head-to-head for us?
00:41:56Sure.
00:41:57Okay.
00:41:58This is a category I love.
00:42:00Because I love about Star Search, you get to be on with all sorts of different performers.
00:42:04So, this is the variety category.
00:42:06The Aerial Acrobat Champions from last week are taking on a bold new challenger.
00:42:12Now, I've got to get their names right, because I can't be like Ed McMahon.
00:42:15I'll help you out.
00:42:15All right?
00:42:16It's Duo Vespertilio versus Sheehan Chow.
00:42:28Duo Vespertilio, you are the variety champion.
00:42:31It feels really good getting recognition for all of the hard work that we've done.
00:42:37That was incredible.
00:42:39Beautiful.
00:42:40You guys are incredible.
00:42:42And to really be able to put ourselves out there on this huge stage, I think we're both
00:42:48just so ecstatic still.
00:42:51I love that they told a story.
00:42:53That it wasn't just, hey, look at this trick, look at this trick, look at this trick.
00:42:55That's what elevates an act.
00:42:58There's a lot more to come.
00:42:59This was just the first chapter in the story.
00:43:00There's so many more chapters.
00:43:02The next one is even more exciting.
00:43:03You'll see what happens next.
00:43:06It does add an extra layer of pressure going in as a champion,
00:43:10because we know now the world expects us to defend our title.
00:43:14And we know there's someone else out there who's trying to take us out.
00:43:20My name is Chi Han.
00:43:22I'm Chi Han.
00:43:23I'm 33 years old.
00:43:25I'm a circus performer from Taiwan.
00:43:27What do you do?
00:43:28Diablo.
00:43:31Diablo is two sticks and one string.
00:43:35We can do many, many tricks.
00:43:40I'm doing Diablo 26 years.
00:43:44In Diablo war, I'm the best.
00:43:49I'm very proud to be able to collaborate with Taiyama Cetan.
00:43:52That's all about their stories.
00:43:55Today I'm here to Star Search.
00:43:56I hope I can share my story here.
00:44:01We're up in the air.
00:44:03And I think he's got to be on the ground for that act.
00:44:12I'm sure he trains really hard for his craft as well,
00:44:15but I am risking my life.
00:44:17You know, the stakes are maybe just a little higher over here.
00:44:23Here we go.
00:44:24First to perform, it's the defending champions,
00:44:28Duo Vespertilio.
00:44:38And we could live
00:44:43For a thousand years
00:44:46But if I hurt you
00:44:50I'd make wine from your tears
00:44:55So I told you
00:44:58That we could fly
00:45:02Cause we all know you
00:45:06But some of us
00:45:08Don't know why
00:45:10I was standing
00:45:13You were there
00:45:16Two worlds colliding
00:45:19And they could never
00:45:23Ever tear us apart
00:45:39And they could never
00:45:42Ever tear us apart
00:45:48And they could never
00:45:50I was standing
00:45:52Oh
00:45:55Oh
00:45:56Oh
00:45:56Oh
00:45:57Yeah
00:46:10Oh
00:46:11Oh
00:46:14And they can never, ever tear us apart
00:46:21Tear us apart
00:46:24And they can never, ever tear us apart
00:46:57Come on over
00:47:00Voting around the world is now open
00:47:03You can give duo Vespertilio one to five stars
00:47:07Five stars is the best
00:47:10But three is still good
00:47:11You know what I mean
00:47:13Let's hear from the judges
00:47:14Chrissy, we're going to start with you
00:47:16I mean, it's so interesting
00:47:17Because sometimes when somebody is so good at something
00:47:20They say, like, you make it look easy
00:47:21I think it, you, it made it look really hard
00:47:24And just, like, you could do it
00:47:25And you could kill it
00:47:26It was, it was, uh
00:47:28Thank you, thank you
00:47:29Like, mind-blowing to watch you
00:47:31Like, like, the level of strength and flexibility
00:47:34And all of the things that you put into one show and package
00:47:38Is so, it's, it's amazing to watch
00:47:41It's really great
00:47:43Thank you
00:47:43Jelly Roll
00:47:46Well, I, in full transparency
00:47:48I was a little worried
00:47:49That y'all had the kind of act
00:47:51That once you've seen it, you've seen it
00:47:53You know, and that's just being honest
00:47:54So I was kind of skeptical tonight
00:47:57I was like, I don't, I don't imagine they're going to be
00:47:58You know, I've seen them
00:47:59They do this thing
00:48:00It's beautiful
00:48:00It's a beautifully crazy thing
00:48:01And then you wowed me again
00:48:03I could not take my eyes off you again
00:48:05The story was told differently again
00:48:08You know
00:48:10And I think it's
00:48:11I think it's really cool that last week
00:48:13I spoke about how strong y'all were
00:48:15And you, and specifically
00:48:16I had a moment where I just admired your strength
00:48:18And then I think
00:48:19Almost like you took that note
00:48:20It was like, you know what
00:48:21We're going to show them how strong she is tonight
00:48:23You know what I mean
00:48:24And that right there
00:48:25That was the biggest flex of the night
00:48:27As far as I'm concerned
00:48:30Sarah
00:48:30Well, I just had two things I wanted to point out
00:48:33And one of them Jelly just did
00:48:34Which is how you completely told a different story tonight
00:48:37And it was not the same act
00:48:38And I too was thinking the same thing he was
00:48:40But also I want to point out your musicality
00:48:42The way your moments hit exactly on the beat of the music
00:48:46Was really impressive
00:48:48And I don't see that a lot
00:48:49I just have to say
00:48:50This show is not good for the nervous system though
00:48:52I just want to say
00:48:53No, stressful
00:48:53Congrats
00:48:55Congratulations
00:48:56Speaking of strength
00:48:57All I have to say is
00:48:59Sierra

01:00:35they they open it up there's just a filipino family inside like hello hi
01:00:42take your shoes off they're dirty
01:00:46but i feel like growing up as an asian man there were a lot of insecurities i had
01:00:51like there was only white people you guys had a lot of role models to make you feel sexy
01:00:56brad pitt tom cruise asians all we had was jackie chan
01:01:01right every movie he would only fight he would never love he's just like who killed my uncle
01:01:06bro i love you jackie i love you bro i don't know why i'm pointing up he's still alive
01:01:14um yeah you guys you guys like did jackie chan die no he's just always climbing stuff but
01:01:22love you but i'm in a relationship now uh my girlfriend is white right now uh
01:01:27or she's she's she's always gonna be white um tomorrow she's like surprise vietnamese

01:01:46thank you i hope this brings everyone together tonight the world needs this
01:01:50and i've seen the flowers bloom in may and the eiffel tower and a golden gate
01:02:03but nothing's as pretty to me as your face because you're the evolution of the human race
01:02:18you're so beige khaki colored babies like a legal notepad page and here's a few people
01:02:30who are famously mixed and chrissy teigen and john legends kids they're more caramel than a twix
01:02:41that's it now sarah you're you're married to an interracial baby yourself so i wrote a verse for
01:02:48your mans tonight freddy prince jr's white and puerto rican he's a little ethnically ambiguous
01:03:00i thought he was korean
01:03:05i could have sworn he was asian but it's all good now we got one more jelly roll jelly roll
01:03:13i don't have a verse for you brother but you get it you know what i'm saying i'm sure you're
01:03:19mixing a lot of cool things and you're a beautiful man we had a tattoo last week

01:04:10i mean thank you for bringing us all into it and making us feel like we were all part of
01:04:15it
01:04:16yes yes um for those of you freddy is not asian but he does love the asian culture so it
01:04:22could make
01:04:23sense um you know it interracial babies is a tricky thing to make funny and what i love about comedy
01:04:33more than anything is it's the things that we can't talk about the things that you can't say
01:04:37that can make us laugh and bring us together that was a long way for that payoff um i'm a
01:04:43little
01:04:43confused about how movies had to fit in was it just the jackie chan part it was that he's a
01:04:49role
01:04:49model that makes asian man feel like sexy got it got it just want to make sure i just want
01:04:56to clarify
01:04:59chrissy i feel like i gave you a hard time last week just because i love the comedy category so
01:05:03much
01:05:04but this week you showed that you can be funny like your package alone was enough for me to give
01:05:09you like all the stars like that was so funny um seeing all those jokes in there so you're funny
01:05:17with the guitar you're funny without the guitar i'm ready for the netflix special my my bride racial
01:05:21baby right here is he was cheering for you so hard you see him okay yeah all right jelly roll
01:05:31dude i
01:05:32think you knocked it out of the park again man i think everybody was yeah right i mean i think
01:05:35it was
01:05:36awesome dude i think it was cool i want to tell you just whatever you do just keep innovating man
01:05:41the fact that you're not afraid you swing fearlessly up there and every comedian that ever went on to be
01:05:47great had to swing fearlessly so every now and then you're going to paint outside the lines and get a
01:05:51little bit of trouble and that's okay that's the cost of art i'm proud of you man i'm proud all
01:05:55right
01:05:57well jr it's time to reveal your scores chrissy four stars
01:06:04jelly roll young jackie chan got four stars
01:06:09sarah three stars okay that means your judge average score is 3.6 stars we'll find out how the world
01:06:19voted a
01:06:19little later here is the challenger from the city of new york it's liam nelson
01:06:31hello hello good to see you guys one more time for jr everybody
01:06:38when your mom says we have bruno mars at home very cool uh seven feet can we all shut up
01:06:46about it
01:06:46now cool yes i've been tall my whole life i was six feet tall by 10 years old yeah it
01:06:54really changes
01:06:54a lot about your childhood like most kids when have a nightmare they go to their parents room to make
01:06:58them feel better i could not do that because i am monster shaped my mom wakes up to a six
01:07:08foot shirtless
01:07:09figure looming over her bed like mommy i had a bad dream
01:07:18i was her sleep paralysis demon it's tough yeah the reason i am as tall as i am i have
01:07:25a thing called
01:07:26marfan syndrome which is a genetic connective tissue disorder basically makes me built like a like an
01:07:32off-brand airpod like i look pretty cool but don't shake me i'm loose inside yeah all right you got
01:07:43that
01:07:43i know i got a skull candy vibe from this crowd nice yeah i uh marfan syndrome is what's known
01:07:50as an
01:07:50invisible disability which i know is crazy for me to have considering i'm the most visible person
01:07:59ever maybe my friends buy me music festival tickets just so they have a meeting point
01:08:12i'm a landmark if nothing else
01:08:16yeah marfan syndrome also makes me have a thing called scoliosis which means i have three curves in
01:08:20my spine i might have to get that surgically corrected at some point which is kind of tough
01:08:25they got to cut you open and put metal rods in your spine which would make me unable to bend
01:08:30over
01:08:31but would also make me seven six
01:08:38this isn't even my final form
01:08:44crazy
01:08:44i was uh i was diagnosed with marfan syndrome when i was 11 years old when i was diagnosed they
01:08:54diagnosed
01:08:54me in like full-on doctor language which i think is crazy you know i was 11 and i walked
01:09:01into the
01:09:01doctor's office this man told me i had a genetic mutation that would cause me to have hypermobility
01:09:08so i walked out of that doctor's office thinking i was the flash
01:09:15not even kind of the same at all just means i'm like weirdly double jointed to just a bargain bin
01:09:23x-man
01:09:25totally different set of powers i can't save a baby stuck in a burning building but i can
01:09:30save a snack
01:09:33stuck in a vending machine huh right can't defeat a super villain but i can indicate which
01:09:41i want to go in hitchhiking pretty cool huh right strap in can't run super fast but i can roll
01:09:49my ankle
01:09:49all the way to the side and walk on my leg bone and there's the super part right there you're

01:11:37and then it just got progressively laughier and louder and louder as you went on because you were
01:11:43so comfortable talking about it and i kind of i love that part of comedy that there's that like
01:11:48uncomfortableness in it within the crowd but then you brought so many people together and i love
01:11:52seeing that happen that's my favorite part so thank you so the thing about comedy is that you can
01:11:59make yourself and make other people laugh about things that are upsetting and i have scoliosis and
01:12:05it's not something that i laugh about and you made me laugh about it today which i props to you
