Terry Fator TALKS AGT’s Legacy & New Vegas Show on the 350th Milestone Episode!

A Note from Jacob: When I started this podcast in November 2019 with Reality TV commentator Brent Wolgamott as the pilot guest, I did not expect to hit episode number 350! Nor did I expect to converse with famed authors and musicians, Emmy-winning journalists, podcast hosts, Reality TV icons, a Tony-winning producer, and viral social media sensations. I want to thank all my guests who took time out of their schedule to visit the show and their media teams who trusted my platform. Finally, I want to say “Thank You” to all of you who tuned into every episode. I appreciate all of you!

It is an honor and privilege to welcome ventriloquist and entertainer Terry Fator to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast for the 350th milestone episode. Terry became a household name when he auditioned for the NBC talent competition America’s Got Talent (AGT): Season Two back in 2007, where he showcased his passion for ventriloquism that combined comedy, singing, and celebrity impressions. Thanks to his friends, such as Emma Taylor and Winston, the Impersonating Turtle, fans rallied and crowned him the show’s sophomore season winner.

Following his AGT success, Terry spent 11 years at his theatre in the Mirage Hotel and Casino, playing in front of millions before moving to the Strat Hotel and Casino for an all-new, multi-media, immersive Vegas production: Terry Fator: One Man, a Hundred Voices, a Thousand Laughs. In addition to Emma and Winston, they are joined by Elvis impersonator Maynard Thompkins, annoying neighbor Duggie Scott Walker, Vikki the Cougar, Hyphen, and a host of famous singers.

Terry started his foundation when he was not performing in Vegas or taking his show on the road. The Terry Fator Foundation’s (TFF) primary mission is to raise monies to support military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families through various nonprofit channels. The TFF aims to align itself with top-rated nonprofits and corporate partners who carry out these support missions to our men and women who serve this great country and their family members.

On our 350th episode, Terry Fator spoke about AGT’s legacy on TV and in Las Vegas, previewed his new show at the Strat, and discussed the TFF’s impact on helping first responders.

Plus, I shared some news with Terry that kickstarts Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar’s coverage of AGT’s upcoming twentieth-anniversary season.
