Gerald and Hunter Kelly from America’s Got Talent are a father-son comedic duo who are competing this season, and we have lots of information to share about the pair. The Atlanta natives showcased a dueling stand-up set and won over the judges in their separate auditions. With likable personalities, good timing, and memorable stage presences, both had judges (and the audience) laughing. Even though the seven-year-old may have outshined his father, Gerald and Hunter made it through to the next round to showcase more of their comedy.
Gerald has been doing comedy for almost 30 years and has passed on his talents to all three of his children. Seven-year-old Hunter is his youngest son and auditioned with a short comedy set, right after his dad did. Gerald used parenthood as material for his jokes, and then Hunter poked fun at his dad during his routine. While the audience and judges loved their performances, only two comedians have won the competition in the past. Both Gerald and Hunter got the approval of all four judges because of their relatable content, incredible jokes, and charming personalities.

Throughout his comedy career, Gerald has been able to perform in a wide variety of comedy shows. He has done performances ranging from raw comedy to a clean Christian show, showing that he has a diverse range of styles that he has displayed over the years. He has showcased his comedy on “BET ComicView” and HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam”, in addition to many other specials and comedy tours. In 30 years, he has had a successful career, has strived to be better with each performance, and passed all of this down to his three sons.
Hunter was very confident on the stage from the first moment. The judges were extremely impressed. Though he did have one slip-up in his performance, he covered it very well and continued on like a professional. Judge and germaphobe Howie Mandel assured him that everybody makes mistakes performing and that he handled it as someone with his dad’s experience would. Hunter was confident and professional, which got him through to the next round, even at such a young age.
This father and son duo is competing against each other this season, but the family of comedians does not stop there. Hunter tells jokes like he has been in the business as long as his dad, and it is because he has been learning from him and his brothers for so long.
