The ‘America’s Got Talent’ Contestant Who Will Make You Squirm

On Tuesday’s season premiere of America’s Got Talent, contestants auditioned to make the cut, but none did it like Ryan Stock. Stock had Howie Mandel inspect a regular pair of scissors, which he then shoved into his nose. The entire pair of scissors somehow slid into his sinuses. The judges and the audience squirmed at the unnatural sight. Stock opened and closed the scissors and added, “That’s not the gross part, either.” He then removed the scissors from his head and wiped them off with his tongue.

However, that wasn’t the most impressive part. The performer then took a 15-inch meat hook and shoved that into his nose with the sharp point poking out through his mouth. When he hung a bowling ball from the hook, judge Mel B had to look away. But Stock wasn’t done.

For his grand finale, he tied a hanging strap to the meat hook that was still in his face and hoisted himself into the air. He hung for a beat before Heidi Klum hit her X button. Simon Cowell was impressed enough to convince the other judges to let Stock and his freakish nasal antics through to the next round.
