So yeah, I spent six hours auditioning for The Weakest Link again. Basically, repeat the story six months ago, except I was by myself this time. What I’ve also learned: The more effort it takes to be sarcastic to a casting producer, the worst you do actually playing the mock game.
Steve: I didn’t even know TWL had “real” people on there anymore. I thought it was all B-list celebrities now.
Ernie: exactly. the casting director told the guy next to me in the mock-game, “do you ever smile?” “I have before. Just not now.” “and THAT’S why we use celebrities, now.”
Steve: the last time I saw it, it had child stars.. with Rudy from the Cosby Show, and Tina Yothers and The Beav. I think this week they’re having like Santa Claus and a tree, and elves or something. It’s all camped up now.. it’s not even like a gameshow anymore.
Ernie: and yet, i would still amputate limbs to be on that show. steve, what affliction do i have?
Steve: famewhoreis spectacularis.
(Another reason to be in New York: to visit the many New York webloggers, courtesy of NBC. If I’m going to be a famewhore, I’m going to be the cheapest famewhore ever.)
