During the taping of America's Got Talent, George the Giant was injured during an upside down escape. This seems to be real and not a publicity stunt.

I had heard about this and really hope that George bounces back quickly.

How George bounces, depends on how he falls, eh?

I spoke with George. It was all hype. He's been sick for a couple of weeks, and got a bit light-headed. They made good TV out of it. I use the word "good" rhetorically.

Yet another case of their editing team. *sigh*
Glad to hear he's ok though. |

Yes, it was a case of not feeling very well and then hanging upside down and...lights out. There was some issue with the crane operator during rehearsals that didn't know what "UP!" meant and made George's head swing into the table...twice. But he's resilient.

I guess it was cold in the studio. . .apparently shrinkage was a problem; according to the article he "stood at 7 feet tall"

Got a chance to finally see the clip, these judges continue to disgust me. They really have no clue what is going on.
I'm sick of statements like "You need to take it to the next level" |

What kind of level do they need? A carpenters level? Do they mean a national security threat level? Do they even know what they are talking about? I'd love to see ANY television show "judge" compete in the field that they command so much power over. I'd give a years salary to see Simon Cowell try to sing.

I'm leaning towards Don's theory and have been for some time. I don't remember the particular act but it dawned on me that they always "randomly" seem to select a bad cop personality for one of the three judges. I think this is because they don't want it always to be Piers. During this particular one, I just remember them focusing on Sharon and her having this "I need to stay in bad cop character look" trying to not break a smile or show any emotion and predictably she didn't like the act.
If George doesn't make it, I say ZooPerStars all the way (they're just so ridiculous I can't help but love it, cmon a snail mascot eating a guy)!! I actually enjoy the James Gang to when they are just being themselves, I almost got the impression that the producers made the suggestion to add magic to their act as none of them really seemed comfortable doing it. |

George The Giant came by The FREAKSHOW yesterday and he was fine. He said it was hyped way more than what happened. He just got light headed and asked to be lowered....they demanded he have oxygen and then an ambulance! He said some of the shots were from the week before, so some of the show is doctored. I guess that's showbiz though..........
