“I’m disappointed,” she said prior to the reveal. “I thought the finals was gonna be a swimsuit competition. Eh, I’m gonna do it anyway.”
After the applause of the judges and audience died down, she joked, “I can’t help it. I love getting undressed. My stripper name was Pillow.”
The comedian went on to give her take on a female-centric Hooters restaurant, earning praise from the judges for her comedy chops.
“Vicki, I love everything about you. You are hilarious,” judge Heidi Klum said.
Judge Simon Cowell said he loved her character so much, he was even considering her as an “alternative to the Kardashians.”
“I get your sense of humor, you naughty girl,” judge Mel B chided, while Howie Mandel called it her “best act yet.”
Twitter was also in love with the bold brash comedian who has been making waves on the show all season, praising her for showing off her body on her terms on stage as well as a quick and witty set.
“Vicki just killed it! Her entrance was one of the best! #AGT Win or lose, she’s supremely talented! #TrailerNasty” one fan wrote.
