Winston is the turtle who helped Terry win America’s Got Talent by showing the world that he (and Terry) can impersonate any singer and any style of music. He joined Terry’s team after his AGT performance. Winston’s innocence and inability to understand Las Vegas or life outside the boundaries of his pond reminds everyone of the child inside all of us.
Where it came from
Terry Fator found the original Winston puppet at a toy store in Austin. Winston was created because Terry was doing a Kermit the Frog impression and needed a character to carry it. Winston is the turtle who helped him win America's Got Talent.
