Kevin Johnson

Kevin Johnson was a ventriloquist act from Season 1 of America's Got Talent.

Audition
Kenny Shelton's audition consisted of juggling three tennis rackets and three basketballs. Unfortunately, he dropped one racket and one basketball. Piers Morgan, Brandy Norwood (Piers and David buzzed for her), and David Hasselhoff all buzzed the act. The judges agreed to give Kenny a second chance and promised to send him through if he juggled three knives while balancing on a balance board for a full minute, and if he dropped any knives, he would have to walk straight off. Kenny was able to accomplish the feat, sending him to the Semifinals.



Trivia
