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.
@@modus8256 what you talking about, winners are almost never singers. Dustin tarvel(magician), brandon leake(poet), kodi lee(yes a singer but come on that was definitely deserved), shin lim(magician), darcy linn(vantriloquist), grace vanderwall(singer), paul zerdin(vantriloquist), matt franco(magician), the one before that was that dancer, the one before that was the dog act. In this list there was 2 singers, one with original songs. That comments is the most innacuate thing ever. Edit: I mean yes I get that golden buzzers are almost always singers with sad back storys. But they never win. Unless it's deserved like kodi lee.
what is so endearing about Terry is that , all throughout the entire competition, he is so grounded, down to earth, so humble-. No melodrama , just pure talent and a warm smile
But it all went to his head when he cashed in and hit the big time in Vegas and married that Hawaiian bimbo with the big tits (but I would have too if I had his money...just hope the divorce didn't cost him too much).
I would have agreed with you until I learned that he divorced his wife especially when he credits her with encouraging him to keep going toward his dream.
Terry got his wish. Ventriloquism came back to the mainstream with Paul Zertner, Darcy Lynne etc all doing so well. They all have Terry to thank for that. But He's still the best, as he still has the best characters and does the most amazing impressions. It was Terry who got me watching the Got Talent stuff as well. Awesome.
@@janetakerlund7154 While Jeff Dunham reached stardom first, Terry Fator actually started just a little before him. Terry is definitely the OG, but I will say Jeff still played a massive role in bringing puppets into mainstream appeal.
He is absolutely the best ventriloquist. He can basically impersonate any one he is also funny. Amazing voices and he does all of this with he’s mouth close. I can’t even sing with my mouth open. He has a god giving talent. Best America got talent winner. He makes about 30 millions per year he deserves every dollar he gets paid. That’s what you call talent. I’m he’s biggest fan. And i hope I can go see him perform live.
@@nigelflaveney3921 There 2 completely different type of acts. Terry fator sings with little comedy jeff dunham is just comedy. Just cause both ventriloquist doesn't mean exact same! Like saying lebron James is better than Tom brady! Completely different, both athletes different sports.
Seriously. I can't watch the recent seasons of any talent show because of this. It's all about contestants with tragic backgrounds or kids as you said; the focus should be on the talent, age or backstory notwithstanding - what a concept!
So sad. Terry inspired an amazing group of "cute kids". Check out Darci Lynne. Just a baby, but she wouldn't be here if not for Terry. Instead of sooking about what was, embrace what is and what is to come. Jeez...
@@greebo7857 well, your little rant is just fundamentally wrong when you remember that the quality of talent on AGT has swirled down the toilet. Darcie was nowhere near as skilled as Terry or any other ventriloquist on AGT; Zerdin blows her out of the water. There were so many contestants far more talented than her and she won because she was a cute kid.
I am so amazed. All of his impressions are so spot on. He could have won as an impersonator. But oh no. He had to top it with ventriloquism. It's mindblowing. He's one of the most talented entertainers i've ever seen.
And it's really not even close. It's a shame Terry doesn't get more recognition on AGT now. I'm tired of seeing the same acts reappear on the show: Shin Lim, Darci Lynne, etc. The early season winners blazed the trail for more popular winners now.
I had no idea who Fator was. Staying at the mirage and seeing his name everywhere for his headline show, I looked him up. “I’d like to headline in Vegas.” Dreams come true.
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 have known of Terry Fator for over 20 years. I thought everyone knew of his talent. Apparently I was wrong. I am so pleased that he received the recognition he deserved.

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.
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.
Thank you AGT for being available to discover him so he can share his wonderful talent with the world, also I’m happy that I was able to be a part of it by voting for him
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.
bangers & mash Calm down. You’re pretty dumb for not knowing where Idaho is to be honest. Common mistake, she didn’t know that he came from Texas. You don’t have to call her a “DUMB BITCH” when she didn’t know something. Like, can you recite all of pi all in one go? Thought so.

There has never been nor will there ever be a winner better than Terry. The fact that he is able to come out on stage and give an unbelievable performance every time is rare. The amount of talents he has is kind of unfair.
You have forgotten he said he prepared for 20 years! That is a long time of work so there is nothing unfair about his talents and tremendous work he put in.
Thank you so much for putting these performances in order so wonderfully - no interruptions, no idle talk, no extraneous material, just Terry's acts. You did a remarkable and beautiful job. Well done, sir! Well done.
He is the best ventriloquist, in my opinion, with an amazing stage presence. God bless you Terry, hoping to come to one of your shows soon, please God.

I wish he had done " At Last " again. She's what got him there and that song " At Last " sums up his struggles through the years to get the recognition he deserves.
I swear, he is just so dmn awesome! I love seeing him perform and I love how humble he is. He is an amazing and a talented performer and would love to see him one day. He's a great inspiration for apsiring ventriloquists and even just ordinary people (through his journey). First saw him when he performed with Darcu and then Zerdin; but, there is just something that sets him apart (iguess). and i honestly think that he's one of the people who has changed and transformed ventriloquism. LOVE HIM! Can't stress that enough Hahahah
Thank you America ! Mr. Terry Fator you worked on your talents so much that you deserved to be the champion of your Ventriloquist's skills with so many different voices , sincerely incredible to me !

Thank you Terry! Finally after all these years, I take time to see just how you won, and just how good you really are!!! "WOW"...🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎉🎉🎉🐢🐢🐢👀👀👀😂😂😂
I never even heard of Terry until 15 minutes...Im staggered at his talent..Youre watching a lifetime of practice and refinement..Not only is he an amazing singer, he can also sing with power, control, emotion all without moving his lips..whilst impersonating a male or female singer...then there's the range of voices. His acting is impeccable as is his writing..All whilst controlling the puppet and giving each one an individual character...I even felt moved at times...Incredible,
i remember this like it was yesterday! i swear he won because of me and my house hold lmao i made many emails to vote for him with there 10 limit 😂 i love him still so much ❤
I live in constant pain 24/7 and have foe 3.5 years now. It is hard to put a smile on ones face through all of that BUT this youtube video has brought a grin to my face THANK YOU FOR SHARING. Laughter is the best medicine, indeed.
I always admire Terry from the Britain got talent, he's got a lovely beautyful voice you are so amazing Terry, good on you dreams do come true Hod bless

Amazing. Roy Orbison was probably the greatest singer of the 20th century and Terry Fator has captured him perfectly. Not easy to do as many who have tried will tell you.
