You know,
it's not the same here.
So we're at work right now.
I'm sitting in the lounge.

about 20 years for this outfit.
‐ Ah, yes, yes.
‐ What are you coming here
on "AGT" to do, Ty?
‐ I'm coming to tell some jokes.
I know that sounds
very simplistic,
but it really is a big deal
for me because
when I became a dad,
whatever I did after that
had to have some stability.
‐ Right.
‐ That's when I got
into pharmacy,
because I knew I needed a job
that made money.
‐ Right, you gotta take care
of that family.
‐ Yeah,
now that my kids are older,
comedy's a thing that I said,
"You know what?
Let me take a chance

like one, two, three ♪
‐ I always wanted to prove
that I could do both:
Be a great dad
and be a great comedian.
‐ Thank you, bro.
‐ I feel like you're gonna do
amazing for them.
‐ How you doing?
‐ What's your name?
‐ Ty Barnett.
‐ And where are you from, Ty?
‐ Chicago. South Side.
‐ And how old are you?
‐ Oh, I'm in my 40s.
‐ You look good.
‐ You look great.
‐ What do you do for a living?
‐ This is it.
I do stand‐up, I'm a dad,
I have three daughters.
I have two biological and
one daughter‐in‐law, so yeah.
‐ Oh, wow. ‐ Aww.
‐ So how long have you been
doing stand‐up?
‐ About 18 years. ‐ 18 years?
‐ 18 years.
‐ So you were already 30.
That's kind of late for a comic.
‐ I started after I got out
of the military.
I was in the Army for a while,
yeah.
‐ Well, thank you
for your service.
Was it always a dream
to be a comedian?
‐ You know what, ever since
I first saw Richard Pryor.
Like, I remember
when I worked at a hospital,
it was always a thing
that I wanted to do.
And what I loved about Pryor
was that‐‐
you look at this audience, man,
like, so many different people.
I was like, "Man, look at how
he's making all these
different people laugh."
‐ He's my hero.
‐ Yeah, you know?
‐ Good for you.
‐ Well, show us your stuff.
‐ Oh, okay. Here we go.
First of all, thank you guys
for having me here.
I love seeing all the talent
back here.
So young, it's awesome,
which actually kind of makes me
feel a little bit old.
Like, I'm a man,
but I'm a specific type of man,
and that's the beauty
of getting older.
Like, example.
Ladies, I'm the type of guy
that if we go out
for the evening
and somebody disrespects you,
I will defend your honor.
But understand that the level
of defense
depends on the size‐‐
Of the offender.
Like, in my heart,
I wanna be like,
"Yo, dude, what did you say?"
But it might be like,
"Yo, babe, what did you say?"
I'm the type of guy, ladies,
that will offer you my jacket.
If it's cold outside,
I will offer you my jacket.
Um, but I'm not the type of guy
that, once you turn that down,
then you get cold later...
Offer's off the table.
You, uh‐‐
You obviously make
bad decisions, and uh‐‐
We shouldn't both suffer
for that.
I just found out that I might
need glasses.
For reading, you know?
So I had to make
the hard decision, you know,
to stop reading.
I got colors and shapes down,
I'm pretty good.
I got silhouettes made out.
I knew I was getting older,
by the way,
when I started rooting against
the kids in scary movies.
Remember how you watched
"Friday the 13th," "Halloween"?
Teenagers do something stupid
or rebellious
but you still want them to
make it, you want them to live?
You're like, "Run in the barn,
he's coming!
Run the barn!"
Now I'm like,
"Your mom and dad told you
not to leave the house."
"It's a school night.
You're being disrespectful."
"They in the barn, Jason.
Go get 'em, they in the barn."
"Spank 'em first.
They was drinking, too."
All right, thanks a lot,
you guys.

‐ Simon, what'd you think
of him?
‐ I really, really felt
his whole routine
was just so funny,
particularly the part about
the kids in those movies.
‐ Yes.
‐ 'Cause every time I watch
them, it's like,
"Why are you going
into the cellar?"
‐ Thank you.
‐ And so that, it's like you
know you're gonna get slashed.

like you, after a while,

you could be a little thinner,"

"You could be a little taller."

‐ Thank you.
‐ Audience loves you.
‐ Thank you so much, thank you.

first time you're gonna judge.
You just have to be honest,
from your heart, what you think.

but I'm somewhere in‐between
Howie and Simon on this.
I love your ambition and
my girlfriend's son is eight
and wants to be a dancer,
so I'm excited for him
to see this,
but it seemed a little
disjointed for me,
for my tastes.
That's my honest opinion.
I thought it was okay.

Form my own record label,

‐ Oh, wow. ‐ Yeah.
My love of music began
at the age of 13.
There was a old hip‐hop
art store
and every last Sunday
of the month,
they would have
these hip‐hop battles.
I just fell in love my first
time there and I was like,
"This is what I want to do."
My first rap battle, I was 14.
They put me against the champ
at that time.
I got wrecked.
So after that loss, I ended up
practicing for a whole year.
Writing lyrics, just
getting better at my craft.
And eventually, I ended up
beating the guy who beat me.
Since then, I've gone
to win 12 emcee battles,
and it got me some notoriety
and success in the rap world.
Thought the next step was
meeting a record label
to catapult my career.
But unfortunately,
it didn't do that.
And so that's
when the hustle began.
I had to sleep in my car.
I don't have enough money
to put into an apartment
and put into my music.
I believe that I can win
this competition
and that's why I'm here.
Being in "America's Got Talent,"
this is one
of my biggest dreams ever.
I got goose bumps
walking in here.
This is a big chance
to change my life,

'America's Got Talent'?"

Why not?"
I actually really,

I grew up in Venezuela.
My grandmother raised me.
And she always say that
I was a natural entertainer.
I wasn't raised
with a lot of money.
Instead of the little town
where I was born,
I would dream
to be someplace else,
something bigger and better.
I moved to America
to pursue my education
and started working
as a teacher.
I settled down with my family,
I had my two daughters,
and I was very happy.
But I always liked
to be in front of people.
Now, this later chapter
of my life,
I'm pursuing my dreams.
This is one of the
biggest moment in my life
and when I walk out
on that stage tonight,
I want to show the world
what I can do.

‐ You know what, ever since
I first saw Richard Pryor.
Like, I remember
when I worked at a hospital,

So young, it's awesome,
which actually kind of makes me
feel a little bit old.
Like, I'm a man,
but I'm a specific type of man,
and that's the beauty
of getting older.
Like, example.
Ladies, I'm the type of guy
that if we go out
for the evening
and somebody disrespects you,
I will defend your honor.
But understand that the level
of defense
depends on the size‐‐
Of the offender.
Like, in my heart,
I wanna be like,
"Yo, dude, what did you say?"
But it might be like,
"Yo, babe, what did you say?"
I'm the type of guy, ladies,
that will offer you my jacket.
If it's cold outside,
I will offer you my jacket.
Um, but I'm not the type of guy
that, once you turn that down,
then you get cold later...
Offer's off the table.
You, uh‐‐
You obviously make
bad decisions, and uh‐‐
We shouldn't both suffer
for that.
I just found out that I might
need glasses.
For reading, you know?
So I had to make
the hard decision, you know,
to stop reading.
I got colors and shapes down,
I'm pretty good.
I got silhouettes made out.
I knew I was getting older,

"Friday the 13th," "Halloween"?
Teenagers do something stupid
or rebellious
but you still want them to
make it, you want them to live?

he's coming!
Run the barn!"

"Your mom and dad told you
not to leave the house."
"It's a school night.
You're being disrespectful."

Go get 'em, they in the barn."

My love of music began
at the age of 13.
There was a old hip‐hop
art store
and every last Sunday
of the month,
they would have
these hip‐hop battles.
I just fell in love my first
time there and I was like,
"This is what I want to do."
My first rap battle, I was 14.
They put me against the champ
at that time.
I got wrecked.
So after that loss, I ended up
practicing for a whole year.
Writing lyrics, just
getting better at my craft.
And eventually, I ended up
beating the guy who beat me.
Since then, I've gone
to win 12 emcee battles,
and it got me some notoriety
and success in the rap world.
Thought the next step was
meeting a record label
to catapult my career.
But unfortunately,
it didn't do that.
And so that's
when the hustle began.
I had to sleep in my car.
I don't have enough money
to put into an apartment
and put into my music.
I believe that I can win
this competition
and that's why I'm here.
Being in "America's Got Talent,"

I grew up in Venezuela.
My grandmother raised me.
And she always say that
I was a natural entertainer.
I wasn't raised
with a lot of money.
Instead of the little town
where I was born,
I would dream
to be someplace else,
something bigger and better.
I moved to America
to pursue my education
and started working
as a teacher.
I settled down with my family,
I had my two daughters,
and I was very happy.
But I always liked
to be in front of people.
Now, this later chapter
of my life,
I'm pursuing my dreams.
This is one of the
biggest moment in my life
and when I walk out
on that stage tonight,
I want to show the world
what I can do.
