"Julia Scotti from New Jersey won four yeses from the judges.
America's Got Talent contestant Julia Scotti got a standing ovation last week, following her hilarious stand-up comedy routine.
The 63-year-old got four yeses from judges Simon Cowell, Melanie Brown, Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum, which means she'll go through to the next round of the talent show.
Julia, who started doing stand-up at the age of 28, quit after 20 years to become a teacher.
When judge Howie Mandel asked her why she quit, she responded: "For the first 28 years of my life I was known as Rick Scotti. So this is big for me.""
Watched that one with one of our daughters and my wife. We were all smiling.
