This is a tale of woe and discrimination towards Canadians!
*sigh*
Yesterday I get a message on my phone. I saw the caller was from California so I first thought it was a telemarketer. Who else would be calling me from California?
When I listened to the message, I nearly hit the floor. It was NBC calling. Yes, the TV network. They were wondering if me and the ladies from Foreign Exchange would like to audition for the upcoming season of America’s Got Talent. They were coming to Boston and wanted to set up an audition time.
OMG! I couldn’t stop giggling. We could be on TV! This was awesome!
Today I call the nice gentleman from the casting department of NBC. We have a great chat, set up the audition time and he gets all the vital details about the quartet. Then we get to the part where we all need to be American. Oh no! Although Nanda and I are Permanent Residents, Morgan is Canadian! She cannot be a part of the show! Even a student visa would not be enough. So we sadly said our goodbyes. Our chance of fame and fortune was over. We could not even audition.
C’est la vie, eh?
What do they say, at least it was an honour to be nominated?
