Darci Lynne Pregame: Jeff Dunham And Miss Louisiana Cheer On Ventriloquist That Has Captured America By Storm

This week is the moment of truth, as contestants from all over America hunker down and prepare for the finale of America’s Got Talent.

Arguably, the one who has swept up America into a frenzy the most is 13-year old ventriloquist Darci Lynne who has battled her way straight through to the finale. She must battle nine other contestants tonight to vie for tomorrow night’s AGT champ, and to help, she’s getting a sweet kudos from the biggest ventriloquist act on the planet…Jeff Dunham.

Jeff posted a sweet picture on Instagram ahead of tonight’s competition showcasing himself at Darci’s age before wishing her good luck. This, essentially, is like Joe Montana calling up a rookie and saying “go get ’em” in terms of importance because Jeff Dunham is one of the highest earning performers in the world. This year alone Jeff starred in his own series on Food Network and Netflix JUST streamed his newest special that was filmed in front of a sold-out crowd in Ireland. This Friday, Jeff will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Not only is Jeff rooting on Darci, but Miss Louisiana 2017, Laryssa Bonacquisti, who earlier this year won in her competition with a ventriloquist act of her own singing “I Wanna Be a Cowboy Sweetheart”. 

It could be a very special week for ventriloquist acts. If you need a quick reminder of how Darci Lynne Farmer got to the finale this week, here’s a bunch of clips that showcase her journey through the various stages of America’s Got Talent Season 12.

America’s Got Talent Season 12 finale kicks off tonight @ 8 pm ET/PT only on NBC, check your local listings.
