Other guest star celebrities who will appear include Simone Biles & the Gold Over America Tour and Michael Buble.

Goodall, who’s been a VCSC custodian for 23 years, has climbed the “AGT” competition’s ladder since May, when Judge Heidi Klum gave him the Golden Buzzer after his rendition of the Journey song, “Don’t Stop Believin’”

During Sept. 17 finals, he sang Journey’s 1983 hit song, “Faithfully.”

With each performance, he has wowed judges, the Pasadena Civic Auditorium audience and the viewing public.

While the results aren’t yet public, an AGT YouTube video of Goodall’s performance during Sept. 17 finals showed nearly 2.3 million views as of Monday. The next closest was Roni Sagi and Rhythm with 641,000 views.

Winners are determined based on votes by AGT fans.

After his Sept. 17 finals performance, Judge Howie Mandel told Goodall, “I think you just sang yourself $1 million.”

Simon Cowell told Goodall, “We all need a hero right now. You are our hero.”

And judge Heidi Klum told him:

“Richard, I have been faithfully the biggest fan since the very, very first day we met, all the way through this competition,” Klum said. “You are such an amazing man. You’re so humble and so kind. You’re also a little bit quiet, but not when you are behind that microphone. Then you’re a big rock star!”

She added, “I want you to win this so bad, Richard!”

In a late July interview, Goodall commented on why he believes he has become so admired by his ever-growing fan base.

“Some of it, I think, is that I’m just a common person,” he said at the time.

This country, and maybe the world, are so divided, he said. “I think people just needed something to cheer for and root on.”

They believe a good, decent person “deserves to get something good … deserves a chance at a better life,” Goodall said.
