The final round of qualifiers performances are officially over for Season 17 of America’s Got Talent, as the fifth week saw the final eleven who advanced from the auditions take the stage once more. Among those eleven was none other than Jordan Conley, who became the wild card winner after beating out three other nominees. He was the only comedian of the night, and he had the audience (and judges) in stitches by the end of his set, which included enough Disney references to make any ‘90s kid rejoice. Speaking with CinemaBlend afterward, he broke those references down and revealed that one classic character sadly couldn’t make the cut.
Jordan Conley had three minutes to prove to voters that they made the right decision in choosing to bring him back as the wild card pick, and he got plenty of laughs almost as soon as he strolled out onto stage. It was when he started rattling off Disney references that the set really took off.
He started strong with a shout out to The Lion King and one of the saddest deaths in movie history, then started pitching ideas for his Disney-themed phrases, including Cinderella with a mention of a glass slipper, Aladdin with “riffraff” and “street rat,” Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, and then closed out with more Lion King.
