While discussing AGT’s Season 20 Auditions, NBC Insider was keen to ask the crooning custodian if he had any advice for talented Acts hoping to join the talent competition. Unsurprisingly, Goodall remains endearingly humble amid his recent victory and feels there’s no better time than the present to go after the AGT dream.

“Now is a great time — no matter who you are, what kind of talent you’ve got — to audition,” Goodall encouraged. “I mean, if an absolute regular person like me can audition, go through each round, and then ultimately win, I mean, anybody can. Not to say that they couldn’t do that before, but you know, since I did it, I pulled it off. I mean, wow.”
