If you watch “America’s Got Talent,” you saw a hometown legend rock your TVs last week.
Robbie Pfeffer, frontman of local band Playboy Manbaby and Copper Courier contributor, makes hilarious music videos on his social media accounts.
According to the Phoenix New Times, AGT producers caught wind of Pfeffer’s talents, and he ended up on the show.
Pfeffer performed as a character named Spaceman Bob, who is from a planet where “every day is the weekend.”
While most of the judges hit their “X” buttons, Simon Cowell—and the crowd—cheered Spaceman Bob on.
When Pfeffer’s not making great videos for The Copper Courier or touring with Playboy Manbaby, he’s hosting karaoke, championing The Trunk Space, and being an important force in our local arts scene.
If you want to hear more of Pfeffer as Spaceman Bob, you can listen to his album “LIFTOFF” here.
