Terry Fator

This year for Christmas, Sheldon's office gave us tickets to Terry Fator. I wouldn't know who he was except a friend a few months earlier had gone to his show and told me about him. He is a ventriloquist who won "America's Got Talent", after last night, I've learned a whole lot more about him. Truly a great entertainer, with incredible talent. *(I actually have learned a lot more about him since last night).

About 3/4 the way through the show Sheldon leaned over and said "He's amazing, even better than Danny Gans, he just has so many voices".  Right after that Terry saluted the military, he had all those who have or are serving in the military stand and then he sang the song "Home" by Michael Buble (he donates all his profits from his videos to the military -- he also has a CD he donates the profits to St. Judes Hospital).  It brought tears to my eyes.  Then all of the sudden he started to talk to Sheldon.  He said something like so is everyone enjoying tonight?  Then he pointed out Sheldon specifically -  how about you in the fourth row, purplish shirt (Sheldon said once he said his shirt color he knew it was him).  He asked him, "Are you enjoying the show tonight?"  Sheldon said, "Yes", he then said its funny how one minute your sitting there enjoying the show and the next minute your in it.  At that point he invited Sheldon up on stage.

I was thankful I had brought my camera.  Terry reassured the audience that he had know idea this was going to happen.  I already had tears in my eyes from his previous song and they just kept coming not because I was touched, but because it was so funny.  Sheldon said he was laughing so hard under the mask he was crying too.   There are two videos (I ran out of room on my camera and had to delete a few things== then I was able to video the end!!

 

After the show Sheldon was the STAR?!?!  Over and over again, people came up to us and said, "there's Sheldon", asking if it really wasn't set up, letting him know he had done a great job, asking if we were really from Vegas and where did we live and how as life here,  shaking his hand.  We thought we were done once we left the hotel and went to dinner, then after dinner we were walking back to the car and people started recognizing Sheldon all over again.  He loved the stardom!?!?
