How much money does terry fator make a year
His wife Melinda and he split after 18 years of marriage, and he flew to Hawaii to marry his onstage partner, Las Vegas model Taylor Makakoa.
Terry decided that as he celebrates the milestone tomorrow night, he also would change his hit show Ventriloquism in Concert. In a wide-ranging exclusive chat, the year-old star who began ventriloquism in fifth grade in Dallas and is able to uncannily impersonate more than celebrity voices also talked about raising a family for the first time.
Does it seem like two years already? How much has your life changed? It really does not seem like two years. It has just flown by, and my life has changed significantly.
People ask me all the time if I still get a charge out of seeing billboards and taxis, and obviously I do. But I am loving married life -- Taylor and I are just doing great. So the obvious question out of that comment is have you discussed future family plans yet? Congratulations when that happens. You actually brought a family of dolls to Vegas, but who did you add while you were in Vegas? When I came in, it was just Winston the Impersonating Turtle, Emma Taylor, Maynard Tomkins and country singer Walter T.
I believe those were the only four, and then I created Julius, which is my only black puppet. After that, I created Vikki the Cougar, then the Fifth Beatle, followed by Wrex the Crash Test Dummy.
Then I created the Cher character. However, for our second anniversary, Cher has been replaced with a new Dolly Parton character. We completely revamped the show. You think with Cher it was funny, it is even funnier with Dolly. We did an entire new outfit, a whole new dress, an entire new set of measurements with a brand new mask. Tomorrow for the first time live, we introduce our newest character Berry Fabulous.
It keeps things moving along, keeps things exciting. Berry Fabulous thinks the show needs more fruit and less cheese. I performed him on George Lopez for the very first time ever.
I had never done any of his material in front of a crowd. I was really nervous, but it actually killed. The fans just love him. You know, yes it is. Berry wants to incorporate all of the great divas and the great diva icons like Barbara Streisand and Judy Garland, but he wants to incorporate them with hip-hop.
I even had a guy create the character and build him for me. He was in there from the very first time I ever opened at the Mirage. I wanted someone that would sing diva-type songs. I really wanted to get something Streisand and Garland. So I knew it had to be someone very fabulous, and that clicked, the name Berry Fabulous. I also decided it had to have a little twist. Nobody has ever mixed diva and hip-hop before, so I think Berry is the first.
Not quite percent, mainly because there are a couple of songs in there that are just fan favorites that will probably always be in there. Terry, having conquered the Strip and becoming an entertainment icon in Vegas, which you never imagined when you were out on the road all those lonely years, where do you want to go from here?

Where do you stand with the Mirage contract? What a great idea. We have put together a show. They have all just responded enthusiastically to the idea. When it comes to my work, my first love is without a doubt performing in front of a crowd and having a crowd every night. Not having to do my show in front of one person is really nice these days. It is all great these days: I never gave up.
I guess I would still be out there on the road performing. I would still be out there working in fairs and schools and doing those things because it paid the bills, and I got to do what I love to do.
To me, it was as good as it gets. I had already kind of resigned myself to that. I had the feeling of just being content and happy, that I was one of the lucky people who got paid for what I love to do. In January, there was a Miss America contestant, Alyse Eady from Arkansas, whose talent was ventriloquism. Did she help the profession, as well? Any time anyone can get national publicity by doing ventriloquism is great.
She came out last week and performed with me at the Mirage for two nights. People really enjoyed her act. She was just anxious to get any advice that she could get and asked me some really, really good questions that I had a lot of fun answering. Hopefully, I helped her to continue to improve her act and get better and better. She is really young.
That seems to be the new trend. With two, you know they are dolls. Do you have something special for your fans tomorrow night other than a whole new show?
Everyone that comes is going to get a very cool Berry Fabulous collectible card. They will only be available for the one night. Follow Robin Leach on Twitter at Twitter.
