I took the online test about two months ago, didn’t think I did that great. Tonight I got an email inviting me to live audition somewhere around Philadelphia in June. Of course, I RSVPed back in the positive!

Anyone else who took the last online test get their invite yet?

I got my invitation in March, and I auditioned in Dallas last Monday. Now there’s nothing to do but wait for The Call.

My audition is in Orlando a week from this Friday. There is a FloriDopefest the following day in town, so I’ll likely spend the night there.

Good luck to you both! Hope to meet you in Hollywood 😉

Nope, haven’t had an email. My wife DID get a live tryout from the previous online test, but her window to be on the show is almost over.

Sorry to zombify this, but I just found it looking for contestant advice.

I’m trying out in New York on Thursday!

Congratulations! Mine’s on Thursday, too, in Philly! We went suit shopping this weekend so I wouldn’t look like a slob… 🙂

Bringing back the dead yet again…

I just got notified that I get to audition in Seattle on September 30. I took the online test a few months ago – whenever the big thread about the online test was active here.

I have to admit I’m completely gobsmacked – I didn’t think I’d possibly get an actual audition.

We Dopers kick ass… it’s to be expected. I think most of us now have the fingers crossed now waiting for the call-up from the bullpen. Good luck!

Yep. Still waiting and hoping here.
