Audition in NYC: June 26
"The Call": August 1 (missed it; finally connected on August 4th)
Taping: August 31

Liltbo, do you know if it's just one session? I'm scheduled for 9am but wouldn't mind an hour or two later.

Re: Timing of Audition Invite Emails
Honestly not sure? My invite is also for 9am, and it's supposed to last 2-2.5 hours? So if there is a second session, I imagine it would be in the afternoon. After (what seems like) 10 years of online tests, this is my first audition, so I'm a total newbie!Johnblue wrote:Liltbo, do you know if it's just one session?

Re: Timing of Audition Invite Emails
I've also been invited to audition in Charleston!
I'm at 11:30, so there must be at least two groups that day.

I'm living proof to show that a good attitude, a Southern accent, a ridiculous beard, and a middling amount of trivia knowledge can get you onto Jeopardy!

Re: Timing of Audition Invite Emails
I love that I read this, felt happy for you, thought about congratulating you on FB, then remembered that I had already seen your FB post on this subject several hours ago. The ol' brain is a bit slow sometimes.skullturf wrote:I've also been invited to audition in Charleston!

Congratulations! May this be *your* season.

With this new online test ending this week, I realized that emails were never sent out for LA from the online test from January (unless I missed that conversation). Are there any ideas/thoughts to whether the LA emails will be sent out based on the results of the January test or the October test? It would be slightly annoying to have selected LA as my audition city for January, pass the test, only to have them never use LA for that cycle and then send out invites to LA based on the results of this October test (which I bombed spectacularly)
