Who's been your favorite winner over the years when it comes to America's Got Talent?
There have been some unbelievable contestants, with tear-jerking stories that often lead to the coveted "Golden Buzzer" on NBC's hit competition series. One such "talent" comes to mind from a couple years back.
Richard Goodall, otherwise known as the "singing janitor," won AGT in 2024 — and his success story doesn't end there. According to Deadline, he's at the center of a deal with Everard Entertainment and Mad Chance to turn his impossible story into a feature film.
“Richard Goodall’s unbelievable journey from sweeping hallways to the center of television’s biggest stage is the epitome of the American dream,” said Everard's Ben Everard in a statement, per Deadline. “Like the millions worldwide, I was captivated the moment he stepped foot on that audition stage. Bringing his journey to the silver screen is an honor we take seriously.”
“Goodall’s story is one of never giving up on your dreams, no matter what your circumstances are or your age," Mad Chance's Andrew Lazar added in a statement. "No doubt this film will resonate with audiences around the world.”
In season 19 of AGT, Goodall — who worked as a janitor for 20 years — shocked viewers with his Golden-Buzzer rendition of Journey's “Don’t Stop Believin'.” At age 56, he became the oldest winner of the show and Heidi Klum's first Golden Buzzer win.
At the time, Simon Cowell told him, “Richard, you are my hero because that was special. Genuinely special. I think America is going to love you.”
Parade once spoke with Goodall about his "journey" to AGT (pun intended) and what inspired him to audition. He spoke about how the filmed version of his 2022 rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" went viral, with Steve Perry ultimately putting it on all of his socials. Read more here.
