When you check 511 for delays and dangers, it can feel like you just won America's Got Talent… and a million dollars! 🤩

The moment Richard Goodall received the golden buzzer from Heidi at his audition, I knew he was special. Congratulations to him on winning AGT 2024. What a beautiful story.

My sincere congratulations to Richard Goodall for making his dream come true and winning first place on America's Got Talent tonight. Proof that there is good in this toxic climate and that the average person can make us proud. I am in tears of happiness.

#RichardGoodall has soul, that's for sure. It's proof that you don't need a perfect voice to create emotion. It also convinces me that the greatest talent left is probably mopping the public toilet at your workplace right now. #AGT https://t.co/jyL4cewDf8
