What would you do if you won one million dollars at age twelve? Darci Lynne Farmer had to answer that question after winning America’s Got Talent. Most kids might buy a mountain of toys or a private jet. Darci chose to give money to her church and buy her mom a new dishwasher.
During a funny talk with Steve Harvey, Darci brought out her puppet, Petunia the bunny. The puppet was not happy about the dishwasher. Petunia acted like a huge diva and told Steve she wanted a fancy car and new dresses instead. Things got even sillier when Steve called the bunny a dog by mistake. Petunia was deeply offended and made sure to tell him she was a rabbit.

Fans love how Darci makes her puppets feel like real people with big feelings. One viewer said that the way the puppet looks at Steve is just perfect comedy. Another fan mentioned that they forget Darci is even there because the bunny has such a strong personality. People everywhere think she is one of the best ventriloquists they have ever seen.
While Petunia was busy dreaming of cars on the Steve Harvey show, Darci was actually growing up fast. Four years passed, and the little girl with the puppets became a teenager with a driver’s license. This growth led her to a special seat on the Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her new life.

There, Darci showed off her skills by singing a song called Faith. She used her mouse puppet, Oscar, to hit high notes that most humans find hard to sing. She told Ellen that her new puppy, Binks, is actually scared of her other puppets. Ellen even gave her a special gift for her first car so she could drive in style.
Darci is a rare talent who stays humble. She works hard to keep her puppet voices distinct and authentic. Her journey from a shy girl to a confident performer is truly special to watch. Follow Darci Lynne on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Watch her Vogue interview!
