The laughs are over for Heejun Han, as this season’s court comedian was voted off “American Idol” on Thursday.
Han, who with his goofball character and off-center sense of humor was criticized heavily for not taking the competition seriously enough, ended up at the bottom of America’s votes following Wednesday’s performance episode, despite earning a standing ovation from the judges for his performance of Donny Hathaway’s “A Song for You.”
He reprised the song for the judges in an effort to get them to use their one save for the season on him, but the judges let him go. Han was in the bottom three Thursday with Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine.
