With yeses from all three judges, Jacob advanced to Vegas Week where he again impressed the judges with a new stand-up set. He was one of only two comedians to advance to Top 48 and is set to perform on live shows in NYC later this summer in the current season of America's Got Talent.

Jacob Williams has been described as an "amazingly hilarious talent" by Rolling Stone. The Los Angeles Times described his TV appearance as "My favorite act of the night… I'm still laughing."
