For the talent taking on 'America's Got Talent', it all comes down to making a mark. And we mean that literally. As Jack Lepiarz took to the stage, he explained that he grew up in the circus and that he had been whip-cracking for over 23 years. When Sofia Vergara asked if this was his day job, he clarified that he was actually a news anchor and that his normal job was well aware of his whip-cracking skills and was quite onboard.

Interestingly enough Lepiarz is not the only whip-cracker this season, seeing that Episode 6 features Adam Winrich, who managed to skate by after scouring two yeses from Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum. Now, it was Lepiarz's turn to see if he could advance forward as well.

As Lepiarz began to display his whip-cracking talents, Simon Cowell seemed less than impressed and was the first to hit the x buzzer. It seemed to have thrown Lepiarz off just a little bit, who explained that his next trick was one he was supposed to do with Howie Mandel, but seeing that he wasn't present, he was going to attempt it on himself. However, Terry Crews encouraged him to enlist Simon's help instead. Lepiarz had Simon hold a squat with a skewer between his knees, which he then snapped into the half with precision. Simon's 'no' turned into a 'yes' soon after, with Lepiarz scoring three yeses from the judges. 

However, fans had a rather reaction to Lepiarz in general. While some praised him and were excited to see what he would bring next, others seemed bored in general. "JACK THE WHIPPERR WAS ON AGT OH YMG FOD I LOVE THAT GUY" said a fan. "I've never seen Simon so effectively punished with a whip 🤣🤣🤣" joked a fan. "Jack the Whipper had better stage presence than the other whipper guy  #AGT" noted a fan. "Pretty boring. Not any better than our other whipcracker #AGT" said another. "I was bored during that audition  #AGT" tweeted a fan.
