JJ Pantano Is Back—And He’s Roasting His Way to the Top!
He’s tiny, he’s talented, and he’s got zingers that could make even the toughest judge crack up! Seven-year-old comedy whiz JJ Pantano lit up the stage once again on America’s Got Talent: The Champions, proving that when it comes to making people laugh, age—and height—are just numbers.
Audiences first fell head over heels for JJ back in 2019 on Australia’s Got Talent, where his fearless humor earned him the Golden Buzzer and a ticket to the semi-finals. With razor-sharp timing and a cheeky grin, he quickly became a fan favorite, winning over hearts (and funny bones) across the country.
Now, JJ’s taken his comedy game global, facing off against elite performers from around the world on AGT: The Champions. And make no mistake—he came to play.
In his semi-final performance, JJ didn’t hold back. He took aim at the judges in a bold roast session that had the audience in stitches.
First in the hot seat? New judge Alesha Dixon. JJ, with perfect comedic pause, joked, “Last time I was here, I got you confused with Alicia Keys. So I’d like to take this moment to apologize… to Alicia Keys.”
Then came the moment that brought the house down. JJ turned to Simon Cowell and reminded everyone of Simon’s desire to be cryogenically frozen after death. With a mischievous grin, he delivered the knockout blow:
“Looking at your face now, I think you’ve started the process already.”
The crowd erupted. Even Simon doubled over laughing—proof that JJ’s roasting skills are truly world-class.
“I don’t know why I enjoy you insulting me so much,” Simon admitted. “I really hope we get insulted again in the finals. You’ve earned it.”
At just seven years old, JJ Pantano is commanding the stage with confidence and comedy chops far beyond his years. Could this pint-sized roastmaster be headed for the Champions crown? Stay tuned—this kid is just getting started!
