Mike E. Winfield came out on stage to host the roasting of Simon Cowell where multiple past AGT comedians came back to throw jabs at Simon. The first comedian was Don McMilian, the power point comedian. Don joked that if someone had told him he’d be there roasting Simon Cowell in 2022 he wouldn’t believe that Simon is still here. He also presented statistics of all of Simon’s dislikes and his one like – himself!
Mr. Pants returned to the AGT stage next to join-in on roasting Simon Cowell. His jokes continued to stick to pant jokes. Lace Larrabee came out next. She ended with a spicy joke when she said Simon loves his four dogs because unlike her, they’re the only bit$%s that don’t talk back! Simon laughed and gave her a standing ovation.
