No dummies here
The Wall Street Journal grants front-page territory today to a story about the resurgence of ventriloquism, led in part by Terry Fator’s victory in the NBC television show “America’s Got Talent.”
I recently interviewed Oklahoma City ventriloquist Gary Owen, who remarked on the recently growing popularity of ventriloquism. After our interview, Owen told me he drove to Ponca City to see Fator performed and was wowed by the show. Owen wondered why Fator, who recently signed a $100 million contract to headline in Las Vegas, was playing such a modest venue. Turns out Fator’s agent had some trouble with maps. He thought Ponca City was very near Branson, Missouri, and booked his client there during an off day.
