Where would you least expect to read an audition report?

How about in the middle of a court report column? :)

Until they got caught, the high-rolling defendants in the Bank of China federal fraud case were spending millions of dollars they allegedly stole from the bank.

So maybe it’s only fair that one of the jurors who could decide their fate be given a chance to become a millionaire.

U.S. District Judge Philip Pro recessed the lengthy trial for a day Wednesday so that the female juror, reportedly an alternate, could attend tryouts for the prime-time network game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

The juror sent the judge a note last week saying she had made plans to attend the tryouts at the Cannery in North Las Vegas before the trial began.
So, did she pass the test? 8)

And here I thought Marley would be happy that the "prime-time network game show" was coming back....

What does a court reporter know about game shows? :P

You know, if she did pass the test, that'd be a pretty good interview hook, saying that a judge had recessed that big trial just so she could be there! :lol:

No, we're going to make beast happy by letting it happen without any artificial gratuitousness.

You wish! How about giving Evil Squirrel some of that alcohol to keep him out of the hunt?

Do I smell a challenge?

Of course, it will probably happen while I'm having lunch at Chez Birdfeeder with my luck. But I did come close one time....

Sorry, but it seems to be all gone. I've got a couple of cigs. Want one? And where's my damn wallet?
