Technically funny comedian Don McMillan is set to appear on Tuesday night’s round of America’s Got Talent auditions. The engineer turned comedian’s audition has been leaked ahead of the upcoming audition episode.
Within the leaked audition, Don McMillan is telling a joke about marriage. He points out the fact that 44% of marriages end in divorce, while 56% of marriages end in death. The audience laughed at the joke, while Howie Mandel clarifies “until death does us part.”

From this clip alone it seems like Mandel might be into the technically funny humor more than the other judges, even though Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell were seen smiling.
