How about and let me ask you this, Mr. Inquilitis, could you sing like Elvis and not move your mouth? I guess you could do it, you want me to do it, that's going to look weird, no, no, it's not going to look weird, because while you're thinking I'm going to do this, I'm going to go, that's right, I'm going to sing like Mariah Carey does, right?

If you touch me one more time, I'm going to go all Chucky on your ass, I'm sorry, okay, well, that's how it is. We did some Elvis, yes, and I sang my Aaron Neville specialty, and I must say it was very impressive, thank you, thank you very much, so let's leave it for Maynard, ladies and gentlemen, let's do this. I'm very glad to have you here, thank you. I am very happy to be here.

I was at your show in Las Vegas. It is one of the most incredible shows. Fun and familiar. Until you brought me up on your stage and completely humiliated me. I did it. I turned you into Cher. Yeah, you put on a wig and a direction and everything, please don't tell these people you can probably find it on YouTube so you know you can. Yes, that's the worst part, now everyone will go looking for him. I'm going to ask Maynard something and then, um, anything, just ask me anything, thank you Maynard, who is your favorite artist.

Well, that makes a lot of sense to me. Do you have any plans to do? Maybe an Elvis cover album, something like that. Not really. um, the only thing I plan to do is sit here next to Terry and you know, speaking of clothes, are we six feet from you? Yeah, what about you? No, no, no, you should, you should be. wear a glove that's a good point that's a good point in fact I don't like this this I don't feel very uncomfortable sitting so close to you well, we'll talk about that don't touch me okay I'm sorry, you know,

terry

, I got it Stop To be honest, when I see you act and I've seen you on several occasions and every time I forget that he's not really talking, you're doing it and yeah, Terry looks very realistic, doesn't he?

Yes, Terry looks very realistic. realistic, almost as realistic as you said, but not quite, it's true, but you know, the thing is, that Elvis Presley was so close if you look at my mockery, look there, that's the camera, yes, that's it and this is permanent. Mom told me and my face would stay like that while she kept doing it and she was right. Are there audiences you particularly enjoy performing with? Yes families, I love it, I love it, I am a Christian and I accepted Christ as my savior when he was young. boy and I have always maintained this.

I'm more proud of the fact that eight years in a row in Las Vegas I had the best family show on the Strip than I did. I was named best in Las Vegas. I was named best show in Las Vegas. The best. impersonator and that's what I'm most proud of is that I'm the best family show and isn't that a fantastic statement that you didn't have to go and do things that would be offensive to families? No, and yet you've been the most successful artist in Las Vegas year after year, you just signed a new ten-year contract or something, you signed a new contract with Well, we're doing it, we just signed with New York, New York, so I'm moving from the Mirage to New York, New York, which is even better because it's a more family-friendly atmosphere than the Mirage, which I love.

We were there for 11 years and we are doing it just because of Covid. We're kind of doing a trial run to see how things go because we're not really sure how it's going to work, but I'll be in New York, New York, for a long time. Well, I'm happy and I hope you are. I know people don't have to go and get into all kinds of crazy things in Las Vegas. I found that the Broadway shows that come to Las Vegas, frankly, are better than the ones in New York because they tighten it up. You don't have an intermission.

You go in, you go out and the movie theaters are so much more comfortable and I think some people might think, oh, I don't want to go to Vegas, it's not a good place for your family, but I find that there's something great about it, just familiar. entertainment, they're your show, they're on top, my show and Matt Franco, uh, he's another guy that won, America's got talent, he's also in Las Vegas and he's got a family show, you just know, you gotta watch. but hey, I'm sure you can find out how difficult it is because you do a wide range of voices, from deep to almost uh soprano.

It amazes me that all of that comes from one person, you know, I think sometimes the audience probably says, to me they say oh, that's really good, he does that, and then they stop and realize you're doing all those things. , it's funny because sometimes I stop at the show in Vegas and sing a song by myself and everyone just once at the end of the show people come up to me and say I didn't know you could sing and I think that's probably the best compliment you could give someone because if they think the puppets and here I made all the talent of the United States, you know, I want the talent of the United States with puppets, uh, don't touch me, I wasn't going to touch you, eh, but each one of the puppets he did the impression of a singer and then I sang.

People and I say: Oh my God, I didn't know you could sing. It's a great compliment. Do you have a favorite character? Yeah, look at it, buddy. Oh yeah. Other than that, actually, well, yeah. You don't know, seriously, though Maynard. He's my favorite to act in because I can really go off script with Maynard, what does that mean? Well, we'll talk about that later, but obviously my number one favorite is Winston, the personified turtle who won America's Got Talent, he's saying crying, can you? you cry for yourself I didn't know I could do that I didn't do it either until now and you did it very well man you did it very well you have a great high voice yes, thank you very much what is what New in the program that you are going to start in Las Vegas Now one of the things is that I don't think I've ever seen another ventriloquist do this.

In fact, I'm going to have video puppets behind me and I'm going to sing a duet with myself, so now obviously I can't sing harmonies because that's physically impossible, but what I will do is when they sing alone behind me on the screen video, I'll sing live for them and Then the puppet I'm with will do a duet, so I'm going to do Willy Nelson and also Justin Bieber. Can you give us a preview of Willie Nelson? Are you going to do that? I haven't shut you up lately. as often as I should that's perfect that's perfect that's an incredible talent terry I'm so excited to have you here thank you I can't wait to go out and watch the show because I want to see the new one and we will be doing that and to find out more about the terry fader's new show called who's the dummy now at the new york new york hotel in las vegas, visit terryfader.com and be sure to follow terry fader on social media.
