Kev Adams America's Got Talent participation

Overview

French comedian Kev Adams gained significant attention on America’s Got Talent for an English-language sketch regarding cultural differences between France and the United States. Following his audition in early June 2025, Adams secured a place in the quarter-finals and received praise from judges, including Simon Cowell and Sofía Vergara. His success drew a congratulatory post on X from French President Emmanuel Macron, to which Adams declined to respond, stating that replying to every comment “is unnecessary.”

Despite receiving unanimous approval from the judging panel, Adams was eventually eliminated from the 21st season of the competition. While the show’s selection process allowed 44 artists to advance—including those selected via the Golden Buzzer and a secondary viewing process—Adams did not make the final list of qualifiers for the next stage.
