Hi everyone!!!
I’m a producer on a hit TV network and we’re looking for unicyclists with any crazy talent! Whether you juggle on a 22 ft unicyle or jumprope, we’re interested! This would take place January 23rd from about 7-9am. Please reply to the thread or email koorloff@gmail.com if you think you’d be a perfect fit!
Thanks!
Is this taking place in any particular country?
I’ve been on a few auditions, back when I lived in the NYC area. Being the “perfect fit” is much easier to determine when you know what the job is. Talent competition? 20 seconds of doing something interesting? Something like Stupid Human Tricks on Letterman? Or America’s (or insert whatever country) Got Talent, in which case why not say so? Respondents would then know what the expectations are.
A “hit” TV network? Which one would that be?
Agreed. There are plenty of us riders doing amazing thing. Heck, I can jump rope on a uni till the cows come home but making it interesting takes showmanship. Giving us a better idea what you are looking for will save you a lot of time and get better results.
Hmmmm,
Phishing for members details.
He used 8 exclamation points. I counted. That’s my crazy talent. 
I looked up his email address. There aren’t too many koorloffs out there on the Web, though I did find one who appears to be a baby girl somewhere with an Instagram account, and another who is seeking or offering gay full-body massage in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Sure you are.
And all the best “Hit TV Network” producers use a basic Gmail account as the professional Email provider for their work related correspondence.
On a 22 foot unicycle?
Interesting that he/she mentioned 22’, which is what Chaz Marquette used to ride, and two were made. The other was used for a Guinness record in the early 90s, where Constance Cotter rode it at a promotional event as the tallest unicycle ever ridden by a woman.
“Producers” in TV come in various shapes and sizes, from the likes of Aaron Spelling down to low-level people with much more basic tasks. I think America’s Got Talent farms out for as many agents as possible to attract people with “talents” to audition, and I suspect that’s the show. It’s tough for a unicycle specialist to win on that show, because you would need several really good acts that aren’t repetitive. And you’d have to be better, as determined by “America”, than some of that other amazing talent out there, including singers.
I can almost guarantee if this is “legit” that it’s America’s got talent. They typically contact the local juggling clubs I’ve been a part of as well.
So here’s my warning.
Go watch Ivan Pacel on America’s got talent. He’s one of the best jugglers in the world. He works on cruise ships, he’s hilarious, and he’s a very talented juggler outside of being just a really nice guy every time I’ve been around him at festivals. Barely made it through the first round simply because it was juggling. They didn’t even give him time to work up to truly difficult tricks. They immediately insulted him and the sport, and will most assuredly do the same to unicycling.
America’s got talent is only interested in singing and dancing, and wants everything else to make them seem like a talent show while essentially picking on every other thing. If you want to go be made a fool of on national television, have at it. They simply want to make fun of you for profit.
I say screw them, go ride.
One of our locals (Frank Olivier, http://www.funnyfrank.com/) got on America’s Got Talent, and he got through the first round. His comment about it was that it’s not a talent show, it’s a reality show about a talent show. The bit with Howie Mandel wasn’t entirely scripted but he knew it was going to happen.
Note that he’s not doing any skill stuff at all; it’s all about character.
Looks like he’s been on the show more than once in seperate years, they seem to treat him like a new person each time…
Not the same Franck, right?
Yeah, that’s a different 50-year-old Bay Area juggler named Frank.
Frank Olivier also does a stun gun juggling act. He says they hurt.
Sorry about that! It will take place in Canoga Park, CA and for the tv show Hell’s Kitchen. It would be about 5-10mins long of something interesting or stupid, I wanted to keep that open and see what people could do!
Fox! It is for Hell’s Kitchen.
Thanks! We were looking for something that would shock viewers in a short 5-10 minute intro.
Haha I’m actually a she and I’m neither of the people you found. The full-body massage convo was a little intense.
