Darci Lynne Farmer, a ventriloquist prodigy, made history in 2017 as one of the youngest winners of America’s Got Talent. At just 12 years old, she captured the hearts of millions, earning the “Golden Buzzer” from judge Mel B for her incredible ventriloquism skills. Her unique talent, combined with her charming personality, led to her victory in Season 12 after receiving a staggering 52 million votes.
One of Darci Lynne’s standout moments on the show featured her puppet Edna, an elderly character with a playful crush on judge Simon Cowell. During one unforgettable performance, Edna hilariously flirted with Simon, singing a love song that left both the judges and the audience in stitches. Simon, well known for his tough critiques, couldn’t help but laugh and enjoy the comedic yet skillful routine.
Darci Lynne’s ability to blend comedy with her ventriloquism made her a fan favorite. Following her AGT win, she performed in several high-profile events, including A Very Pentatonix Christmas and a sold-out show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
Her performance with Edna remains one of the most memorable moments on the show, showcasing not only her incredible ventriloquism but also her ability to entertain and connect with the audience on a personal level.
