From Janitor to AGT Champion: Richard Goodall's Inspiring Journey to Stardom
Richard Goodall BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Richard Goodall’s star has only grown brighter in the past few days as he transitions from a humble janitor in Terre Haute, Indiana, to the recently crowned winner of America’s Got Talent. After taking home the Season 19 title thanks to standout performances like his Golden Buzzer cover of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ and Michael Bolton’s How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, Goodall is still working weekdays as a school custodian. He told AOL that despite his victory, “the fame is kind of wearing off” among colleagues and students, who just see “Richard” and greet him as always. But the national spotlight is very much on him, with speculation swirling about future music projects, although no album plans are confirmed and Goodall himself admits, “I would love to,” but says he’s just enjoying the whirlwind for now.
The headlines this week include Goodall being announced as a featured act at the upcoming Greencastle Music Fest, a sign that he’s being embraced not just as a reality TV winner but as a performer with wider appeal, noted the Banner Graphic. Hollywood events have kept him busy with rehearsals, interviews, and AGT-related appearances—he and his wife Angie have even been spotted sampling California cuisine and doing their own laundry during downtime in Pasadena, according to local NBC affiliate WTWO.
On the social media front, Goodall’s own Instagram has been active, with a post on August 8 thanking supporters and hinting at the excitement ahead. That post drew thousands of likes and comments, underscoring the groundswell of goodwill from fans eager to see what’s next. Another recent post the previous day reiterated his gratitude and hinted at sharing more of his journey soon.
Beyond TV, Goodall’s profile as a singer has grown with public event appearances. In late July, he performed at the Best Buddies International Leadership Conference in Bloomington, Indiana, drawing a warm response from a large and diverse audience, as reported by Best Buddies International. Another crowd pleaser, his guest set for Best Buddies New Hampshire left attendees raving about his talent and message of belonging.
While rumors of major record deals or nationwide touring remain just that—rumors—industry watchers are keeping a close eye on these developments given his overnight leap to fame and likable persona. There’s talk in entertainment circles, highlighted by IMDb and media commentary, that his AGT win could lead to high-profile opportunities and a possible appearance tied to AGT’s 20th season celebrations next week. For now, he’s a local legend gone national, a man who kept singing and may just inspire a movement of regular folks to audition for their own moment in the spotlight.
