Richard Goodall BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Richard Goodall was a humble janitor at West Vigo Middle School in Terre Haute, Indiana until national television flipped his life upside down. Just days ago, America’s Got Talent season 19 capped its run with Goodall as the jaw-dropping winner, an event that instantly became headline news from ABC World News Tonight to viral social media feeds. His journey from mopping floors to mesmerizing millions has dominated entertainment reporting all week, and interviews are still pouring in. According to AOL and multiple TV news segments, Goodall has opened up about the changes since his big win, revealing a blend of gratitude and culture shock as the world scrambles for a piece of the new “singing janitor.” In a deeply personal radio appearance—described in the top-rated BioSnap audio biography podcast—Goodall confirmed what his fans suspected: despite his overnight success, the 56-year-old intends to keep performing with his longtime local band and playing regional gigs whenever possible while headlining major stages now on contract. Sources like Spreaker highlight how he is preparing for a much-anticipated Las Vegas residency. Social media has exploded over his win, with his TikTok ballooning in followers as new and old clips of his Journey and Queen covers rack up millions of views. Talent Recap’s YouTube compilation of his season sits near ten million views already, amplifying the Cinderella story even further. At regional venues, just days before the finale, audience-shot footage captured Goodall belting out Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’ at the Paramount Theatre in Anderson, Indiana—a video that’s now spreading again with renewed fanfare. Major tell-all pieces like the one on DHgate dig into the real story behind his AGT audition, crediting his wife’s unwavering support and hammering home how close Goodall came to skipping the iconic moment altogether. He’s candid about feeling “stunned” by the deluge of industry interest and endorsement offers, though he says he’s moving cautiously, preferring relationships that reflect his old-school values. No negative news or controversy has surfaced—quite the contrary, with most coverage fixating on the “feel-good” nature of his rise and its ripple effect on those who feel overlooked or stuck in life. Only time will tell if Hollywood and the music industry find ways to keep up with Goodall’s authenticity, but for this past week, he’s been America’s most unlikely superstar—with headlines everywhere hailing him not just as an AGT winner, but as proof that hope really does sing the loudest.
