Of course he would, he is phenomenal.

Here we are, 13 years later that $1 million is just pocket change. Terry is one of the biggest acts in Las Vegas. In 2008, he signed a 5-year, $100 million deal to headline at the Mirage Hotel in a theatre named after him - a deal that has now been renewed twice. He has to be the most successful act ever to win AGT.

Terry Fator LAS VEGAS thanks you for being one of are GREATEST ENTERTAINERS OF ALL TIME. The locals favorite show for all ages, all cultures, all humans. 🌍

I absolutely love how at 18:23 when Johnny Vegas says "I get half" out of the blue, you can see Terry does not instantly react (like how a person should because it takes a split second for them to process). He literally appears to be still in thought when the puppet says the line, and I bet it takes some conscious effort not to simultaneously react because he already knows the punchline. These little things contribute so much to the illusion of autonomy.

@Nikolaj11

Жыл бұрын

Really, I thought it was a very clever way for him to break the tension. You can tell that he's almost too emotional to respond to the question he was posed but getting his puppet to break in for him clearly helped him clear whatever nerves was blocking his immediate response in that moment. Really shows how much of a talented performer he is I think.

I saw Terry a week after he won America's Got Talent at the Lakeland Theater in Florida. Such a down to earth and modest man. After the show at Lakeland he went in the lobby and signed autographs. I was last in the line with my other half to get an autograph and he stayed and talked to us for over half an hour. Very memorable experience.

By far the greatest act ever in the history of an Got Talent show, and the best ventriloquist in history.

I came here after seeing Darci performance.

Only by. A bit though

The song "You've Got A Friend" came out in 1971...46 years ago and all ages in the audience were singing along. I'm glad I grew up when all the good music was new to watch it last decade after decade. ( I know this video is about 2007 AGT )

I know i've commented on here multiple times, but he's my fav AGT contestant. He deserves more recognition as he's, by far, the most successful contestant to come out of AGT. Anyway, I found an article which Piers Morgan wrote last year about Simon Cowell, and he started the article off talking about Terry Fator. As creator and executive producer of AGT, Simon held the rights to manage Terry's career as winner of AGT. However, Simon didn't think he'd make serious money off a middle aged ventriloquist so Simon let him go. Afterwards, Terry landed his first Vegas deal at the Hilton. I believe it ran for a year. The Mirage then offered him the huge 5 year, $100 million contract that has been renewed a few times. Terry has been performing in Vegas ever since for 10 years. Ironically, Terry also wrote a book entitled: Who's the Dummy Now? Obviously, Piers said Simon is the dummy for letting Terry go. Of course, Simon is not too thrilled he wasn't part of the Vegas deal. LOL I think that story is funny. Simon didn't make money off Terry, and he's been uber successful. You can bet that Simon will not make the same mistake again. I think it's evident in the way Simon judges that he's more open to acts that don't fit into the standard "appeal to the 15-34 age group" that Simon made a career of in the entertainment business.
