Richard Goodall takes the crown! Americaā€™s Got Talent 2024 winner with record-breaking votes and $1 million prize

Richard Goodall wowed the judges over the past several months and wowed viewers of the show to keep voting for him after singing songs like Journeyā€™s ā€œDonā€™t Stop Believinā€™ ā€ and Survivors ā€œEye of the Tiger.ā€

The journey to this point has taken months. Back in May, we learned the West Vigo Middle School janitor was about to make an appearance as a contestant on AGT. It was all thanks to a Tik Tok video of him singing to students.

ā€œShe come up with the kindergarten teachers and they said that it was at 100,000 thousand views and I said is that good and she said that she didnā€™t even have 1,000 followers. By the end of that weekend, it was a million,ā€ Richard Goodall explained.

What Goodall could not tell us back then, was that heā€™d received a golden buzzer from AGT judge Heidi Klum. It sent him straight to the quarter-final round.

After succeeding in the quarter-finals, Goodall came home to a welcome back rally at the school heā€™d cleaned for many years. He spoke to students and staff sharing an inspiring message.

ā€œYou can achieve anything you want at any age and it donā€™t matter what you look like. It donā€™t matter what color your hair is, what color your eyes are. If you just keep going and perfect what you do, where youā€™re at eventually at some point, someone is going to notice,ā€ said Goodall.

It was then back to AGTā€™s semi-finals and onto the finale where he was much loved by the judges.

ā€œHe was a hero genuinely. Heā€™s like the man who stood up for every underdog out there,ā€ said AGT judge Simon Cowell.

ā€œHe touches my heart, my soul and I just know he touched everyone elseā€™s heart and soul at home too.ā€

Heā€™s also loved by many people, but he says, heā€™s not letting the fame effect him.

ā€œIā€™m gonna stay that humble person. No matter what Iā€™m doing or where Iā€™m at,ā€ added Goodall.

Richard Goodallā€™s journey has been incredible and watch the moment his name was called for the $1 million prize below.

HE PULLED HER OUT OF A BURNING BUILDINGā€”AND THEN SHE NEVER LEFT HIS SHOULDER We thought she was gone. The fire had already swallowed most of the second floor by the time we got the call. A warehouseā€”empty, supposedly. Just a leftover shell filled with forgotten boxes and bad insulation. Turned out, not everything inside was forgotten. He was the first one through the smoke.

She was singed, shaking, scared out of her mindā€”but alive. He wrapped her in a towel and sat with her the entire ride back to the station. Didnā€™t let anyone else near her. Said, ā€œSheā€™s had enough strangers for one day.ā€ We figured heā€™d take her to a vet. Maybe drop her at a shelter. But that night, she curled up in his helmet and fell asleep. The next morning, she rode his shoulder like she belonged there. Sheā€™s been with us ever since. Eats from his lunchbox. Sleeps in his locker. Hops up on his shoulder every time the alarm bell rings, like sheā€™s making sure he comes back. But hereā€™s the part nobody talks aboutā€” She only purrs when heā€™s holding her. And thereā€™s one spot on her tiny paw thatā€™s forever blackened, like a little smudge of ash that wonā€™t wash away. He calls it her reminder. But every now and then, I catch him staring at it.
