A call from New York

[Bob78164]

I just got a call from Millionaire. They want another Skype interview with me. At least they know I'm still in the Contestant Pool. --Bob

[Vandal]

Great news, Bob!

Unless someone there is lonely and just wants to chat.

[TheConfessor]

That sounds like a good omen. If they want "another Skype interview," are you saying that there was a previous one? What were the circumstances? I didn't know WWTBAM did Skype interviews. Good luck!

I posted about it last August. They told me they'd lost the video from my Las Vegas audition and wanted to do another video interview via Skype. The AP I spoke to ended up not being able to figure out how to make it work on her end so my interview was audio-only. She carefully assured me throughout the process, though, that I am, and remain, in the Pool. --Bob

That's a great sign that you're still actively under consideration!

Perhaps you'll be the first BB to appear with WWTBAM's new host?

Congrats and good luck!

Finally a shark in with all the little fishes and a reason to watch even if it's only for an episode. Good Luck my friend

I have Skype loaded on my phone and a screen name. I hope I can figure out how to use it when the call comes in. --Bob

When a call comes in it should just popup and ask if you want to answer. Then you're live. Call me if you want to test; I'm bob.juch.

Thanks. There were some technical issues but we got through them.

We had a nice conversation, which fortuitously dropped (on his end, not mine) just as he asked me a question ("I don't know if you remember what you said on your application -- what's something you do that makes people laugh?") that left me at a loss for words. He called back on my regular phone and said that the five minutes of conversation he already had were enough. He said nice things, and that he's passing the interview along to his supervising producer, and that I might hear from them in a couple of weeks. Taping starts late June or early July.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but (as we lawyers say) the settlement isn't final until everyone's signed. Wish me luck! --Bob

[macrae1234]

what's something you do that makes people laugh

if you are like me my partners laugh at some of my bridge auctions and say things "like I want the hand you were bidding" but seriously in your bridge milieu you must have bridge stories about who you played or how you played that are humorous to bridge players but greek to outsiders.

[ghostjmf]

That they're seeking you out, & for the 2nd time (1st having been audio-only) sounds like very good news.

Best of luck.

No, it's break a leg!

No, Bob is NOT an actor! And he's carrying the hopes of all the regular people who still dream of getting on this show without singing and dancing their way on.

Good luck, Bob!

You still don't get it's show business.

You still don't get it's show business.

To them, but not to us.

And that's why you've never gotten on the show.

No pressure though!

It's interesting that they'll be taping on Saturdays (June 28, July 5) now.

So, for those who theoretically might consider taking the trip, what else is there to do in the Stamford area?

[goongas]

I have been to this nature center there, where there are trails. I wasn't there long enough to give a good enough opinion of it. http://www.stamfordmuseum.org/overbrook.html They are going to have a hard time getting an audience. I suspect they may have to pay actor's union members and bus them there.
