Goodall captured the hearts of the show's judges and viewers and won AGT's $1 million prize last month.

"It's just amazing. I'm in awe. The one word that I continue to use in all the interviews is surreal, and it encompasses everything that's been going on. It's just been absolutely amazing," Goodall told 13News.

The "singing janitor" was crowned champion of the NBC talent competition show at the end of the two-hour finale Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Goodall showed his singing talent and humbleness, which he credits to the work he does as a custodian at West Vigo Middle School. 

"I'm just like anybody else. I probably do one of the most humblest jobs there is," Goodall said. "When you're a janitor, a lot of people, not necessarily take you for granted, but you're the person that's there behind the scenes that makes sure everything gets done that needs to be done."
