Local TV Stars on Talent Show Tuesday
These are the five things you need to know today, July 21.
- Local TV Stars. Two of Douglasville's very own residents will be performing on America's Got Talent Tuesday, the Captain & Maybelle. The Captain has had a love for sideshow and circus entertainment since his youth. After graduating high school, he set out from his hometown of Douglasville and explored the country. He's fulfilling his childhood dream of being a circus performer and using his skills as a body piercer in his act. While most wives would balk at the thought, Maybelle not only gave her blessing but also jumped in feet first alongside the Captain and became part of his act. The Captain and his wife Maybelle currently reside in Georgia with their two daughters, Payton and Ava, and their basset hound, Hoss. Check them out on NBC’s America's Got Talent Tuesday at 9 p.m.
