The Las Vegas Strip is populated with America’s Got Talent contestants, but Terry Fator was the first. His skill as a singer, ventriloquist and impersonator—quite the trifecta—is unmatched on the Las Vegas Strip; he has a wide variety of dummies he works with while impersonating—and throwing—the voices of everyone from Garth Brooks and Michael Jackson to Etta James and Paul McCartney.
What adds to the entertainment value of Fator’s show, Who’s the Dummy Now?, is 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; Vikki the Cougar, whose libido threatens to take the entire show off the rails (but never does); 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 equally vividly. Fator is also careful to alternate puppets from show to show, almost guaranteeing you’ll never see the same show twice.
