Howie Mandel Swaps Judge’s Chair for Driving Instructor Role in Darci Lynne’s Hilarious America’s Got Talent Skit

Darci rolled up to the AGT parking lot with Simon Cowell in her backseat. How cool is it that she got to drive the head judge around? Well, it was actually a puppet version of Cowell to keep with the theme of her being an awesome ventriloquist. It was a very bumpy ride for Darci and the puppet.

Cowell did a hilarious voiceover for the puppet version of himself. When Darci went to check her mirrors, Cowell’s puppet made a funny comment about how he can’t see himself anymore. He also took a stab at himself saying he would be safer on his electric bike. He fell off his electric bike last year and broke his back.

Things took an even crazier turn. Howie Mandel literally popped out of nowhere. He offered to teach Darci how to drive. Mandel really isn’t the best driving teacher. This was probably one of the most chaotic scenes to ever air on AGT.

It was all super entertaining though. After Darci tried to drive around a little bit, Mandel told her that he also has his pilots license in case she ever wants to fly. It doesn’t look like Darci will be taking Mandel up on his offer any time soon. He was so bad at guiding her around all of the parked cars.

At the end of the bit, Sofia Vergara appeared in the back of the car as the puppeteer working Cowell’s puppet. Everyone knows Vergara is actually a pretty funny puppeteer. She performed an unforgettable ventriloquism routine in front of Darci last season.

Darci performed an incredible routine on the first results show this season. She has literally not stopped working since winning the show in 2017. Darci is obviously a fan-favorite winner that AGT will continue to bring back because they know the audience absolutely loves her.

Bruce Springsteen and Chris Stapleton Stun Stagecoach 2025 with Soul-Crushing Duet of Adele’s Someone Like You, Leaving Fans in Tears and Redefining Festival History

Just when the crowd thought Stagecoach Festival 2025 couldn’t get any bigger, the unthinkable happened: Bruce Springsteen walked onto the main stage during Chris Stapleton’s set — unannounced and to a thunderous roar. But the real shock? They performed a soul-stirring duet of Adele’s “Someone Like You”, reimagined in a raw, Southern blues-meets-classic rock style that no one saw coming. Chris began with a raw, stripped-down acoustic intro, his gravelly, soul-drenched voice wrapping around the first verse like a quiet storm. Just as the audience leaned into the intimacy of the moment—boom—without warning, The Boss emerged from the shadows. Bruce Springsteen took the chorus like only he can, unleashing that iconic, weathered voice that speaks to every broken dream and every burning hope. What followed was four minutes of haunting, heart-stopping magic — a once-in-a-lifetime duet that left the crowd breathless and the stage forever changed. One fan posted on TikTok:“I came to hear Springsteen sing ‘Born to Run,’ and ended up crying over him singing Adele. Wild. Beautiful. Unreal.”  This collab was not on any official lineup or schedule. Rumors backstage say the two artists rehearsed a custom arrangement just hours before the show — tucked away in a soundproof trailer behind the main stage. Neither Stapleton nor Springsteen has commented publicly, but the internet is ablaze with speculation: Was this a one-time thing, or a hint at something bigger? One thing’s for sure — fans witnessed a moment that no one could’ve predicted, and no one will forget. WATCH HERE:
