Season Premiere
Judges - Piers Morgan, Sharon Osborne, Howie Mandal
Host: Nick Cannon
Montage of some of the acts we'll see, then the titles
LA Auditions
Judges Introductions
Howie says he'll torture Piers all season long. Piers says "Bring it on, Baldie"
Sharon asks Nick about being a Daddy. He says it takes talent to be a Daddy.
Frank Olivier - Unicyclist/Juggler - 50yo
He asks Howie to hand him torches once he's on the unicycle (6-7' tall unicycle)
He juggles the flaming torches from the unicycle. He looked like he was going to fall all along, but I think that was all part of the act. (He holds Howies head, looks like he's going to set him afire...) Howie ran back to his desk and buzzed him. Frank pointed out that what fell out of his pocket was hand-sanitizer, which he used just before going on. Howie doesn't look impressed, and didn't say anything through the rest of the segment.
Piers - You terrorized Howie, and almost stopped him breathing. In short, you've become one of my favorites.
Sharon, yes. Howie, signifies his buzz means no. Piers - "So it's up to me if you can come back and torment Howie again." YES.
