Two
of “AGT’s” most popular winners, Terry Fator and Olate Dogs, return to perform
on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” results show, Wednesday, Sept. 11 (9-10 p.m.
ET).
Season
2 winner Terry Fator captured the hearts and funny bones of America with his
unique combination of singing, comedy and celebrity impressions. Fator first discovered his knack for
impressions at the age of six and got his first paying gig at age 12. He began his professional career with gigs at
county fairs, school performances and corporate events, and a trip to Las Vegas
in 2005 stoked his desire to become a big-name entertainer. His win on “America’s Got Talent” in 2007
led to a multi-year contract to perform in his very own theater at the
legendary Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Fator’s current contract at The Mirage will keep him at the resort
through 2016. In 2013, he celebrated his
1,000th show and welcomed his millionth guest at The Mirage, and was named the
“Best Show,” “Best All-Around Performer,” “Best Impersonator” and “Best Overall
Show” in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s prestigious “Best of Las Vegas” poll.
Last
season’s hit variety act, the Olate Dogs, won the million dollar prize and a
headlining show at The Palazzo in Las Vegas.
Led by Richard Olate and his son Nicholas, the Olate Dogs are a
high-energy, fast-paced theatrical act filled with doggie friendly and amazing
pet tricks. A third generation circus
performer from a poor South American family, Richard has been in the spotlight
since he was 12, and through hard work and constant struggle, he made it to the
United States at the age of 33. His dream
to have his own dog variety show has come true as he currently has four
completely different dog acts. Most of
the Olate dogs are rescues from shelters.
Currently, the Olate Dogs can be seen at NBA halftime shows and touring
the country. Talented singer, dancer and
performer Nicholas Olate recently completed his debut album with
Grammy-nominated songwriter-producer Tommy Marolda, slated for release in Fall
2013.
