‘America’s Got Talent’ 2016 update: Teenage comedian Lori Mae Hernandez gets #DunkinSave

Lori Mae Hernandez is heading to “America’s Got Talent” Season 11 semifinals after her satirical attacks on presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton amused and convinced voters to save her. The 13-year-old stand up comedienne from Lancaster, California earned the #DunkinSave during the first round of AGT live shows Tuesday night in Hollywood.

During her stand-up comedy performance, Hernandez has described Trump as a “little orange man with a hair like a troll doll.”

“I love this country and I believe that America is smart, and I know, whoever the voters pick to be our next President, well, she’ll do great... It’s all in the emails,” she said, eliciting cheers from the audience.

Hernandez faced elimination together with Deadly Games and Hara the magician after public voting ended. She cried as AGT host Nick Cannon announced her name.

“I feel so thankful, thank you guys so much. Everyone, thank you!” Hernandez said between sobs.

After the first live show, the seven acts that are going to “America’s Got Talent” 2016 semifinals are:
