Eric has been following the producers all around the country trying to get on the show. He finally passed the test. Cedric asked why he had tried so many times. Eric said that he was on vacation in New York City but missed the auditions by one day, so he went home then attended a conference in Las Vegas, but he missed those auditions by one day also. They went back to Las Vegas when BAM went back there, so he and his wife went there but neither of them passed. Then he went to Denver, slept on someone's couch, and passed the test. "Persistence pays off," Cedric says. Erik has $40,000 in his bank and his Ask the Audience lifeline available.
