If you've been following the show this season -- America's Got Talent's 10th -- you know competition has been fierce, particularly in the arenas of comedy and magic.

Thirty-two-year-old Gary Vider is a 2006 UB grad, and he's soared past the comics to become one of the finalists on tonight's show!

With material like that, no wonder!  He's originally from Long Island and cut his teeth on the NYC comedy circuit, while making money as a dog-walker along the best neighborhoods in the city, earning about $20/hour.

One of the crux's of his routine is escaping his roommate.  We have a feeling after tonight, his days of needing to split the bills may be coming to an end!  The prize is $1 million and a stay in Vegas.

Good luck, Gary!
