Goodall, a janitor for Vigo County Schools, became a viral sensation after his rendition of Journey's “Don't Stop Believin'” at a school talent show in 2022 caught the attention of former Journey frontman Steve Perry and Mandel on TikTok.

“Howie, he posted me on his TikTok and it said, 'Must be on AGT,'” Goodall said.

His success became even greater when he received a Golden Buzzer during his audition for Klum's show.

Goodall returned to Los Angeles in August for the live quarterfinals, where he sang Michael Bolton's “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?”

He then secured his ticket to the finals with his version of “Eye of the Tiger” from Survivor.

Goodall sang “Faithfully” by Journey on Tuesday’s show and received thunderous applause from the judges and the live audience.

“You are such an incredible man. You are so humble, you are so kind,” said Heidi Klum during the finale. “I want you to win so much, Richard.”

“We all need a hero right now and you are our hero,” said Simon Cowell.

“I’m going to make a prediction: I think you just sang yourself a million dollars,” said Howie Mandel.

A few hours after the finale, Goodall and his fiancée Angie Vanoven married in California.

In his announcement post on Facebook, Goodall wrote: “As of 3 p.m. Pacific Time, Angie and I are now Richard and Angela VanGoodall!”
