We've received a ton of questions on how someone can audition for American Inventor. Season One's auditions are pretty much over and it's not yet clear if and when they are going to start auditions for the Second Season, but here's the info on their website for those that are curious or want to plan for the next round of auditions. First, you need to make sure you meet the TV show's eligibility requirements. The basic requirements are listed here at Eligibility Requirements Second, you need to sign in to RSVP for an audition here at Audition Sign-Up Third, you need to fill out an application and bring it to the auditions. The application form is here at Application Form There's great information on many of the basic questions about auditioning at Answers to Your Questions If anyone gets any scoops of future auditions, please let us know. A great discussion of first audition (with almost 300 postings) from our original blog is here at Original Audition Discussions.

Do NOT wrap your invention in a big red bow.

Everyone knows now, if you want to make it through the first auditions, you will need a very special sob story, if you are a true inventor and have respect for your hard worked invention, do not apply, ABC will only let you waste money traveling to audition sites, hotel rooms and anything else you need just to say thanks for coming,they'll only pick the mutants that will make an ass of themselves with rediculous and useless ideas and throw out the truely good and useful inventions, anything that made it to the final 4, will not make it to what ABC was looking for, an invention to be sold in any retail store, the bikes too expensive, the catch, not a sellable item, word ace, parents aren't going to buy it, and the winner, car seat isn't sure if it will pass govt. spects and then too expensive for the retail stores

Simon says reality shows rock and has announced auditions to be held in West Virginia for his new "American Idle Inventor" series. This is a follow-up to the smash hit "American Inventor" that apparently listened to the critics for a change and is going to include more about the inventors and their families and less about the inventions themselves. The show is expected to be a strange mix of "American Inventor", "What Ever Happened to You Favorite Child Stars?", "Fear Factor", and "The Beverly Hillbillies".
When asked why the auditions are being held in West Virginia, Simon responded that that is where the best American families with the best stories can be found, and not many people there are gainfully employed. For instance, one idle American Inventor boasts that he is his own grandpa. At his age, he was having difficulty simultaneously holding his bottle of beer (or jug of moonshine) and his granddaughter/daughter's bottle, so created a redneck strap.
Another WVU frat boy on academic probation couldn't pedal his bike up the steep mountain grades, so added another seat and second set of peddles and then hooked the protobyke to a horse for easy mountain climbing. Moreover, there are numerous unabomber-type hermits hiding in remote cabins, and one loner came up with a soothing stuffed blue doll to hold when FBI agents are lurking in the woods. A middle-aged Italian woman with a hairy upper lip was sick and tired of having family members barge in on her when she was in the outhouse, so created an outhouse doorclip so that she could sit, poop, and shave in private. One of her relatives has an outhouse with a leaky roof, so made an out-brella that goes through the hole in the roof and then opens up as an outhouse roof umbrella. These are just the tip of the iceberg.
As you can probably tell, the ratings are expected to surpass those of "Jerry Seinfeld", "Jerry Springer", and "Tom and Jerry" combined.
Simon has no intentions of retiring anytime soon. He has another reality show on "Mensa Misfits" planned for The Fall. He has agreed to pay a flashy archenemy a quarter billion dollars to tell his story. Although Simon would not reveal the person's name, he did say, "I Doug deep and found exactly what I was looking for."
