Ever wonder what it s like to audition for a reality show? The world of television isn t as glamorous as you may think (I, personally, have worked on a few shows and it s a whole lot of hurry up and wait , stale bagels and bad attitudes.) The producers of the surprise NBC hit America s Got Talent are currently in the process of filling the slots for the next round of the talent extravaganza - and it promises to be Hoff-tastic!
My friend Canada Anne (who was also on this past season of Last Comic Standing) showed up for the New York auditions and files this report:
There I was Wednesday early morning on October 11th standing in a line-up out side of the Jacob Javitts center to audition for the second season of Americas Got Talent. Originally I did not want to go to this audition as I went to the one back in April, and ended up discouraged from that experience.
This time the auditions were held over by the Jacob Javits Centre over by the West Side highway in New York, used mainly for conventions.
This was way better thought out then the auditions back in April, where we had to stand outside by the Port Authority for over six hours to get rejected. I guess they [the producers of the show] figured that since the last turnout was so massive, they needed a bigger space.
So I arrived there at 6am.
When I got there the line was already over 3 miles long and stretching 4 long blocks. There was a vast array of characters including circus clowns, contortionists, jugglers, mimes, a rock harpist, and everyone in between to audition for this show.
