America's Got Talent contestant Lori Mae Hernandez certainly won't be forgotten as the season progresses.

What made Hernandez so funny? Her fearless jokes, including one about Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Hernandez first joked about being a babysitter in front of America's Got Talent judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Melanie "Mel B" Brown and Simon Cowell.
"My only qualification to be a babysitter is that I used to be a baby," Hernandez said as the audience laughed.
"That's crazy. That's like saying, 'Hey, you're sick a lot. Do you want to be my doctor?' Or, 'Weren't you the host of a reality show? You want to be president of the United States?'"
Mandel let out a huge laugh and then stood up on his feet. Klum followed in his footsteps and also gave the young girl a standing ovation.
Hernandez quickly got a "yes" from all four judges and therefore advanced in the Season 11 competition.
Hernandez revealed she began doing stand-up comedy when she was 10-years-old as an effort to make her father smile after he got Bell's palsy, which is a form of facial paralysis.
Another standout audition from last night was Sal Valentinetti, a pizza delivery man who wowed the judges with his unexpected Frank Sinatra-like singing voice. Klum pressed the "Golden Buzzer" for him, sending the man straight through to AGT's live shows.
