Gentle Giant’s Gross Gag On America’s Got Talent

July 2, 2008 - 8:30 am By CC Staff

So last week I joked that this show makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit. Last night I seriously considered it. Yet at the same time, I couldn’t turn away from the TV.

Meet George The Giant. He’s a 7′ 3″ security guard auditioning in Chicago. His act was truly “out there.” George quips, “When you’re my size you have two choices; play basketball or be a freak…and I hate sports.”

Here’s George captivating the audience with his eyebrow raising talent.

Now remember people, the winner of this show gets $1 Million bucks and their own show in Las Vegas. So when people get moved on to the next round it means the judges think their talent is worthy of both prizes. Since Big George moved through, we can only assume the judges are crazy...or drunk.

Check both for The Hoff.

Where George lowered the expectations of the crowd and society in general, 71-year-old Paul Salos picked them up. He's a Frank Sinatra inspired singer and a genuine class act. Not only does this guy deserve the money but I'd probably pay to see him in concert. We're rooting for ya old buddy.

What did you think about last night, folks? Another evening of ho-hum talent or did you see promise somewhere I didn't?

If you tuned in to The Bachelorette last night, you were met with a whole lot of nothing. The first hour of tonight’s two-hour broadcast was affectionately dubbed, “DeAnna Tells All.” The lady of the hour sat down with Chris Harrison to dish on the contestants and how the game’s going so far. We also checked in with Trista and Ryan, America’s favorite Bachelorette couple. Trista weighed in on her favorites (Graham and Jason) and provided some not-so-shocking insights into the challenge of being a contestant on the show. What? You mean it’s hard dating 25 guys at once? Wow? Who knew?

Once the chat session was over, the actual episode began. DeAnna took all six guys on a trip to Palm Springs resort. Sean got some alone time but spent most of the time talking in cliches and over-selling himself. Jesse, Jason, Graham and Twilley went ATV riding with DeAnna. Twilley finally got some alone time on the helicopter ride over to the desert. Too bad he suffers from terrible motion sickness and came pretty close to hurling all over her. The boys messed around in the sand and then cooled off and talked up DeAnna by the pool. The long group date didn’t reveal any front-runners but Jesse almost looked attractive. Read More »
