The Licensed Funeral Director Shuler King Who Had the AGT Judges Dying of Laughter with His Outrageous Mortician Tales
When comedian Shuler King stepped onto the America’s Got Talent 2025 stage, his charismatic swagger and quick-witted backstage banter instantly signaled that a major comedy milestone was underway. Before he even started his official set, host Terry Crews revealed a hilarious backstage conversation where he tried to inspire Shuler by quoting Simon Cowell’s famous line, “two minutes could change your life”. Without missing a beat, Shuler brought down the house by replying, “I know, because two minutes is how I got my kids”. Standing before a judges panel consisting of Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara, Shuler proudly introduced his real-life profession as a licensed funeral director and embalmer. He immediately set an outrageous, dark-comedy tone by playfully warning the audience that if anyone started choking, they should just “let God have his way” so he could walk away from the audition with a paycheck.

The exact second the performance intensified, Shuler held the entire theater completely spellbound with an absolute masterclass in energetic storytelling. He focused his hilarious routine on the stereotypes of the mortuary business, mocking how most morticians act like “they dead too” with slow, creepy voices and cold hands. The arena went completely feral with laughter as Shuler addressed the number-one question people ask him: “Has a dead person ever sat up and tried to grab you?”. He made it hilariously clear that if a corpse ever actually moves, it will instantly be his last day on the job. The comedic crescendo hit its peak when he detailed a terrifying real-life incident where a deceased man’s hand accidentally fell and wrapped around his leg while he was opening a hearse. Shuler’s physical comedy and flawless delivery had the crowd roaring as he described the ultimate embarrassment of having to look a grieving family in the face and apologize for accidentally peeing on their father.
The post-performance feedback reached an absolute crescendo of immense adoration from the thoroughly entertained panel. Howie Mandel proudly utilized a classic comedy pun, ecstatically telling Shuler that he absolutely “killed” out there. Simon Cowell stood up in a rare display of mid-audition approval, praising Shuler’s brilliant perspective and labeling him a fantastic, natural comic who perfectly contrasts the typically dreary funeral industry. Sofia Vergara and Mel B showered him with praise, celebrating his infectious energy and admitting that the outrageous stories gave them genuine, deep belly laughs. Simon Cowell officially declared him without question the funniest person to grace the stage all year. Handed a sweeping, unanimous wave of four enthusiastic yeses, Shuler King proudly advanced to the next round, cementing an unforgettable viral milestone.
