Who won America’s Got Talent Season 19?

Richard Goodall was crowned the winner of America’s Got Talent Season 19.

Deadline talked to Goodall after his America’s Got Talent win and told us he was shocked with the results.

“I went into every single portion of the show with no expectations,” Goodall told us. “I’ve just gone out there and left it all out on the stage. I sang a song and whatever happens, happens. I’ve just went out there, every single time, and had fun and soaked in everything that I’ve been taught here on the show.”

Goodall’s biggest support throughout the experience was his wife who accompanied him during the quarterfinals, semifinals and the finale.

“She was always like, ‘You know, you’re going to make it all the way. If we just choose the right song, you’re going to make it all the way,’” Goodall recalled his wife telling him. “And in every single round, we jumped the hurdle until finally, I was crowned the winner, which still, it just, doesn’t… I don’t think it’s sunk in yet.”

Goodall said the prize money “is going to change our lives” and noted that “whatever happens after the show, I’m sure will just be icing on the cake.”

“We’re going to have us a nice little house and be able to retire, maybe retire in style and see what other opportunities are on the horizon,” he added.

Goodall said he wanted his story to inspire people to never give up on their dreams, remembering that he had auditioned for AGT in 2009 but didn’t make it.

“I’ve been a fan of the show for years,” he said. “I had tried out and it wasn’t that I gave up, it was just like if it was meant to be, it was meant to be. And then here I am at my age, and I’m back up doing it.”
