A Brooklyn-based comedian who once made the semifinals for the annual Stand Up NBC competition, Hayden Kristal is ready for an even bigger NBC stage, auditioning for America’s Got Talent. Kristal is hard of hearing, so you might think audiences will be more receptive in the wake of CODA. But Kristal also gave shout-outs to past AGT contestants such as Drew Lynch and DJ Demers for proving that disabilities won’t prove too much of an obstacle for AGT audiences.
