Going On The Tonight Show.

I might be on "The Tonight Show, With Jay Leno" In their new segment called "Teenage Wasteland". Basically, it's a segment of teenagers who can do weird/gross things. My talent is chugging various condiments, like Maynnaise, Ketchup, Mustard, Hot Sauce, ect. I already applied for the show, and they wrote me back saying:



"[B]Your talent sounds pretty cool and might work for us
but first we need to see some videotape...starring you.[/B]"

and

"[B]At his point, we can't guarantee that you will be on the show, however, you've made it closer than a lot of other people.[/B]"

I sent out a video tape they requested of me chugging the condiments this morining, and I'll know If I'll be on the show in a week or two. I'll keep you all posted If I do get on.
Wish me luck!

I saw a kid chug a whole bottle of french dressing once, and he didn't throw up (not right away anyways).

My friend does that all the time, but he is an idiot. I hope you're not like him.;)

Good Luck getting on the show, and make sure to pick a really gross one for the show.

HaHa, actually, I have chugged that, it was NOT COOL!

Also, NEVER EVER EVER chug cornsalt, the really salty yellow salt used for popcorn (You can get it at the movies) I chugged half a cup for $2 once, and DAMN it sucked! My mouth was dry for over 2 hrs., and I had the worst stomach ache in the world. I think It dried out my insides... blah, that was not a good experience. But I don't think any of you would ever think of trying it, lol.

That's cool that you might be on the show. I don't like condiments, so I definatly couldn't do what you do. Very strange talent.

here, I'll show you wat I sent to them, and wat they sent to me:

Here is MY letter:

[QUOTE]Dear Tonight Show,
Hello, my name is Nick Chandler, I'm 14 years old, and I live in
Orlando, Florida. I have always loved mayonnaise, and in 5th grade people
took notice to how much I ate it, and I was asked if I would eat a packet of

mayo straight. The next 3 years at that school, I chugged mayonnaise almost
every time it was available, and soon started to chug mustard, ketchup, hot
sauce, corn salt, and a wide verity of condiments, and liquids. So
basically, my talent is chugging stuff. People are usually grossed out by
this, and since I saw the Teenage Wasteland segment on your show, I thought
that It'd be cool to be a part of it.[/QUOTE]

And here is the letter they wrote back to me:

[QUOTE]Hey!

Thanks for your interest in Teenage Wasteland, the new segment we're doing
on The Tonight Show. Your talent sounds pretty cool and might work for us
but first we need to see some videotape...starring you. So, if you want to
be in our next "Teenage Wasteland," you have to send us a 2-3 minute tape.
Make sure you tell us a little bit about yourself first, and then show us
your unique skill. We'll look at the tape and if it's right for us, we'll
contact you. At his point, we can't guarantee that you will be on the show,
however, you've made it closer than a lot of other people. So send us a
tape. If you're chosen, you'll receive a free trip to L.A. for you and a
parent that includes hotels, limos and that kind of stuff. Pretty cool,
huh?

We'll give you 14 days to make and send the tape. Come on....we're waiting.
[/QUOTE]

I already made the tape, and sent it to the address the E-mail provivded today. So, we'll see what happens. :)

Ha, that sounds awesome. Kinda reminds me of when I used to get $20 to punch myself in the forehead, that got me a lot of money quickly.
