VENTRILOQUIST PAUL ZERDIN VOTED WINNER OF NBC'S HIT SUMMER SERIES 'AMERICA'S GOT TALENT'

Zerdin Wins $1 Million Grand Prize and Will Headline 'America's Got Talent Live' Show in Las Vegas

NEW YORK - Sept. 16, 2015 - The votes are in and America has chosen Paul Zerdin as winner of the 10th anniversary season of "America's Got Talent." Zerdin won over viewers with his inventive and unique take on ventriloquism, using comedic characters and personalities to outshine thousands of acts, including finalists Benton Blount, Derek Hughes, Drew Lynch, Gary Vider, Oz Pearlman, Piff the Magic Dragon, the Craig Lewis Band, the Professional Regurgitator and Uzeyer Novruzov.

This season of "America's Got Talent" concluded at Radio City Music Hall with a star-studded live finale featuring performances by the 10 finalists along with Rachel Platten, Yolanda Adams, Penn & Teller, Jeffrey Ross, Terry Fator and season-nine winner Mat Franco.

Zerdin has spent years taking the art of ventriloquism to new heights. When he was 10 years old, a family friend made him a puppet theater, which he used to put on shows. Later, he was given a book on ventriloquism written by the legendary Ray Alan. His hobby became an obsession and soon a career. From Royal Variety Performances to comedy festivals around the globe, Zerdin is constantly breaking new ground, all of which has established him at the forefront of his profession. Follow Zerdin on Twitter at @PaulZerdin.

Zerdin will headline an exclusive engagement of "America's Got Talent Live" in Las Vegas, Oct. 22-24 in the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. He will be joined by finalists Drew Lynch and Piff The Magic Dragon. Ticket information can be found at www.AGTVegas.com
