Here’s a fun and heartwarming performance that’s perfect for the Christmas season. Terry Fator, one of the most beloved ventriloquists to ever appear on America’s Got Talent, brought his magic back to the AGT Holiday Show. This time, he teamed up with his “Elvis impersonator” puppet, Maynard Tompkins, for an unforgettable performance of the classic Blue Christmas.
Ventriloquism is not an easy skill to master. It takes an incredible ability to multitask—speaking (or singing), managing the puppet, and keeping the audience entertained—all while making it look effortless. Terry Fator is one of the few artists who has truly mastered it. In fact, he’s not just one of AGT’s most famous winners—he’s also one of the most successful performers to come from the show. His ability to combine comedy, ventriloquism, and spot-on singing impressions is unmatched.
During the AGT Holiday Show, Terry introduced Maynard Tompkins as the greatest Elvis impersonator. Of course, Maynard (with Terry’s help) delivered a performance that had everyone laughing, clapping, and in awe. As Maynard began to sing Blue Christmas, it was clear just how talented Terry Fator truly is—not only as a ventriloquist but also as a fantastic singer. It’s almost easy to forget that Terry himself is doing all the work!
What’s even more impressive is how Terry continues to amaze his fans after so many years. His AGT Holiday Show performance happened back in 2016, but people still watch it and share it every Christmas season. And Terry isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
In 2023, he returned to the stage for AGT: All-Stars and surprised the audience once again. This time, Terry brought another fan-favorite puppet to life—an Elton John impersonator! Together, they performed a medley that perfectly captured Elton’s legendary style, and the video has already reached more than 3.5 million views on YouTube.
Terry Fator’s talent is truly timeless. Whether he’s channeling Elvis, Elton John, or creating his own hilarious characters, he continues to entertain and amaze audiences of all ages. If you haven’t seen these performances yet, you’re in for a treat. Terry’s mix of comedy, music, and ventriloquism is something special that always leaves viewers smiling.
