Saturday night Terry Fator celebrated his one year anniversary as a headliner at The Mirage. After a star-studded red carpet which included Fred Willard, Mad Men’s Rich Sommer and Michael Gladis, American Idol’s Kimberley Locke, Maeve Quinlan, Kristy Swanson and more – Fator took the stage and put on a great show where he introduced the audience to his new character Wrex – a crash test dummy who sings songs about cars including Little Red Corvette and Ridin’ Dirty.
During the show members of The Laff Pack, as they are fondly called, Carrot Top and Frank Caliendo, joined Fator on stage. Carrot Top came through the back of the showroom to borrow some money for a great hand of blackjack he was playing – Fator didn’t have it, but luckily puppet Walter did and gladly gave Carrot Top $100 dollars. Caliendo took the stage later in the evening and wowed audiences with his quick impressions of Bill Clinton, George Bush, Dr. Phil, Robin Williams and more. The Laff Pack includes Fator, Caliendo and Carrot Top - the performers are known for making surprise appearances in each other’s shows.
Following the performance, Fator, along with James Kyson Lee, Katherine Boecher, Pawn Stars’ Rick and Corey Harrison and others headed to B.B. King’s Blues Club where Terry and his band jammed while guests enjoyed cupcakes from The Cupcakery (decorated with the photos of puppets from the show of course!).
