Background
Leroy Patterson has been an Editor for FOX ADHD, Pro Wrestler for Freakshow Wrestling, and Former Videogame Tester from Downey, California. [1]
He has a very high pain tolerance. He was eight or nine years old when he climbed a jungle gym, jumped off, and landed without feeling any pain. Ever since then, he has been doing crazy stunts like jumping on cars, being thrown off of roofs, or slamming into various things. He once dislocated his jaw but let it fix itself.
Audition
Leroy Patterson's audition in Episode 1003 consisted of laying 5000 thumbtacks onto the floor. He then dropped himself onto the tacks both back first and front first. He also hit the tacks with his forehead and with his fists. He performed to Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." Although Heidi Klum voted "No," Howard Stern, Mel B, and Howie Mandel all voted "Yes," sending Leroy to the Judge Cuts round.
Judge Cuts
