Hello All!

I auditioned on July 9th. Passed the written test. Passed the first interview and went backstage for 2nd interview. Not sure if I did well or not on that one. I did talk out both questions that he asked, but I think I was talking too fast.
Waiting patiently for the good postcard, not the bad one.

Jim, which session were you in? I was also at the audition and got the video interview.

I was in the 2nd group. about 25 of us passed the written test and 10 of us made it to video interview. My friend was in first group and he thought about 50 made it through the test in the first group.

Ok, I was in the 4th group. About 20 passed here in that group.

Auditioned the 23rd here. The turnout in Houston was pretty impressive. They had a little under a thousand people audition (groups of 200, the fifth group wasn't quite full).

I didn't get an exact count, but it seemed like a little over 100 people passed the written test and got the first interview. The people from the show, wearing their matching blue polo shirts, seemed overwhelmed at the turnout and success on the tests. They gave times for interviews for each testing group 30 minutes apart, but they were an hour behind by the time they got to Group 3 (yay Texas I guess).

Asking around the first 3 groups (so the first 600 people), there were a couple people that were on their third audition and quite a few second audition people. They seemed to think I was crazy for auditioning a sixth time. That said, I finally passed the written test for the first time, and my interview went well, and I got the on-camera interview. Still waiting on the postcard (should be another 2 weeks), but I think I've got a good shot at it.

Here's to hoping the long-haired grad student math teacher on his 6th audition makes it! Oh, and they specified that graduate students were to be considered for college-themed episodes, so that was different.

I guess no calls have come yet? The first tape date is August 21st (as that was the first show you could get tickets to on the official site).

You tell us. You're the only person on this year's list to get a Happy Card, so far.

(Oops, that's you and nhbuffbc, who hasn't posted anything here since reporting his Happy Card.)

I'm still in purgatory, have not received a card yet whether I'm in or out. They said 3-4 weeks and this is week 4 so I'm not in panic mode............yet.

I keep checking the mail everyday, and everyday I keep going "Doh" when nothing appears.

I hate to tell you but this is now week 5.

So, sorry I never reported back about my audition.

But I did pass the test.

I did get the video interview.

I haven't gotten my postcard yet.

But I tape August 27.

I didn't count the week I auditioned as a week, since I figured they weren't even going to look at the tapes until they got back to NY after the 3 city trip that week, that's why I said four. I'm still not in panic mode since none of the others that were also at the audition received a post card that I know of along with other people I know not on the bored.

Well as you see hanzz got The Call without getting a card. So you look for that 212 prefix when the phone rings!

No! This is show business! Break a leg! In fact, break both.
