We all know how sharp Simon Cowell‘s tongue can be as the head judge of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” But his digs are nothing compared to those of 7-year-old JJ Pantano whose witty jokes made for one of the most gag-worthy moments of Monday night’s fourth episode. Watch his laugh-filled routine in the video above.
In his comedy set, JJ made biting jokes aimed at the careers and public personae of each of the judges and host Terry Crews. His commentary on Simon’s reputation, Heidi Klum‘s career as a supermodel, mixing up Alesha Dixon with Alicia Keys, relevancy of Howie Mandel‘s filmography, and the short football career of Terry were all delivered with the confidence and cutting nature that only an adult should be able to achieve.

Woolworths’ decision to use singer Ricki-Lee Coulter to front its schools program has been called “odd” by anti-sexploitation campaigner Melinda Tankard Reist.
Coulter, who has appeared on the cover of men’s magazines Maxim and Ralph, was signed up by Woolies as brand ambassador of its Earn and Learn program earlier this week.
Tankard Reist told Mumbrella: “Given her photo shoots for Maxim and Ralph, Woolworth’s choice of Ricki-Lee Coulter to promote a program for children does seem odd. However, given that supermarkets like Woolworths stock and sell lad’s mags, and other adult brands including Playboy products, often positioned at children’s eye level, perhaps it is no great surprise.”
Tankard Reist is to speak about the sexualisation of children in advertising at Mumbrella360 in June.
Woolworths had not responded to Mumbrella’s questions at press time.
