Chips Cooney’s got talent
Another comic appeared on NBC’s America’s Got Talent Tuesday night. This time, it was Chips Cooney, from Edgewater, NJ. SPOILER ALERT: He makes it through to Vegas.
We’re quite puzzled that Piers Morgan didn’t know that Cooney was “going for terrible,” as Mandel described it. Of course he was “trying to be terrible!” That’s the whole joke!
We gotta hand it to Cooney, though– all through the pre-interview, he played it straight and maintained that he was “an illusionist.” (We’re quite certain that the PA’s knew he was an intentionally bad magician, but we’re not so sure that the judges were alerted ahead of time. And we’re glad to see that the ignoramuses in the audience were essentially fooled into rooting for a comedians. Which is something they’ve been trained not to do… inexplicably.)

Chips is great….good for him!
man, I don’t normally laugh out loud at too many “comic” videos (videos of standup comedy or other comic act), but this made me lol! Hard to believe the Piers guy really thought he was just “bad”.
Go, chips, Go! If anyone deserves to make it, it’s Chips who’s been doing his whacky tricks for years and continues to be hilarious. Who could forget that face?

This guy deserves the break he’s getting. He’s been knocking around for years. I applaud his effort to just go stand line for the auditions. Whew!
