During an audition, an 88-year-old exotic dancer’s “unpredictable” performance impressed America’s Got Talent judges and audience. Penny claimed to be America’s senior burlesque dancer and was considered a national treasure.

Penny Starr Sr. was born in Palm Bay, Florida. She had appeared on the AGT stage wearing red, white, and blue feathers. “I want to give America a real show, a get-up-and-go show!” said the lovely senior.

Penny replied that she was a widow with six husbands when Simon asked if she was single. The media mogul inquired about the contestant’s willingness to marry for the seventh time. “Yes,” she said, “but it takes some time to break them in.”

Penny began her performance with the song “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” All four judges were overjoyed when the older lady chose to remove her clothing one by one. Terry Crews, the emcee, threw red, white, and blue confetti all over the stage to honor the performance.

Simon was the one who was taken by the sassy senior dancer and flirted with her. But then he asked Penny a daring question that will determine her fate on AGT. “Would more clothing fall off if you went forward?” the media magnate challenged the participant. The eager senior said that she would gladly do so.

This is when Howie Mandel, the judge, exclaimed, “I want to see more!” Penny received four yeses. Despite making it to the following round, the AGT judges had to choose only 54 acts out of a total of 138. As a result, the burlesque dancer’s AGT adventure comes to an end.
