LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Preacher Lawson made a magnificent entrance in 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League'.

The NBC show contestant gave a hilarious performance on the stage that had the viewers laughing their hearts out. 

Lawson's comic timing is amazing and his punchlines always hit the right mark. 

During his comedy act, Lawson cracked a joke about Howie Mandel not saving his Golden Buzzer for him.

The comic made jokes about his experience touring in England and mocked British people's inaccurate impressions of American accents. 

He appeared more energetic than usual, rapidly transitioning from one joke or topic to another, ranging from England to public restroom behavior.

Howie stated that Preacher does not require his Golden Buzzer.

Simon Cowell, on the other hand, mentioned that Preacher improved his act and described it as a "winning performance".

Simon also expressed his liking toward Preacher and went on to say, "I really like you.”

Heidi Klum added, "I think this is the funniest set ever not from you just from anyone ever doing a set."
