‘AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’ CHAMPION SELECTED
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kevin Skinner flew the coop with the grand prize on "America’s Got Talent."
The singing chicken farmer from Mayfield, Ky., was awarded the NBC talent competition’s $1 million grand prize and a headlining spot at a Las Vegas show. Skinner received the most viewer votes on Wednesday’s season finale, overcoming runner-up Barbara Padilla, an opera singer from Houston, and eight other finalists. The win brought Skinner to tears.
