Impressive Puppetry The Las Vegas Strip is populated with America’s Got Talent contestants, but Terry Fator was the first.

the unique personality all his dummies have. There’s Elvis impersonator Maynard Thompkins, who keeps getting ready to perform but can never seem to actually do so; Duggie Scott Walker, a very chill dude who would have been great friends with Cheech & Chong (if you know what we mean); and Walter T.

Airdale, a country singer who can never seem to remember how many ex-wives he has. As much as you’ll remember Fator’s impersonations, you’ll remember the puppets. Fator is also careful to alternate puppets from show to show, almost guaranteeing you’ll never see the same show twice. –Ken Miller
