Did you catch the one and only Corkey Miller on America's Got Talent?! We did! 🤩 We are so proud of Corkey and delighted that the AGT showrunners discovered her through her win at the 2023 Morning Pointe Foundation's Seniors Got Talent Knoxville show. It just goes to show you never know what can happen at SGT!

📺 You can watch her comedy sketch 😂 and the judges' responses in the video below.

We had the chance to talk with Corkey herself, and here is what she had to say about her experience, "I keep pinching myself," said Miller, age 63. "There was so much talent there, and I kept telling myself, 'How's this little old lady going to compete with any of that?' I feel like I won the lottery, and I've never won anything in my entire life except for a Chad Atkins record when I was in the third grade."

Miller added to the Foundation, "Thank you for giving me the start that I needed, the courage to go forward. Everybody has a hidden dream that we had when we were a kid, and then we grow up, and we get in the real world and our job and our families and all that, and we suppress that dream because it doesn't seem like the mature thing to do. I'm saying, 'Heck with maturity - go for the dream!' It's not too late."

👀 We can't wait to see what happens as the show progresses!
