Las Vegas Not Ready For Clownvis Presley?

Categories: WTF

[Update, 11 p.m., June 30: Clownvis finally appeared on the show. Read more here.]

There were a lot of first-timers tuned in to America's Got Talent last night for the first part of its season premiere. Unfortunately, we never got what we came for.

St. Louis, you sat through two hours of quasi-entertaining awkward moments and clearly staged emotional sob stories, and I'm sure Clownvis appreciates your support and solidarity.

The little bit we did see of St. Louis' favorite hip-shakin', lip-curlin', polyester-clad clown was an unbearable tease -- they showed just enough to imply that things wouldn't end well.

A promo piece aired a few minutes before the episode began, and within the fast flashes of freak shows, a shot of Piers Morgan mouthing off in his sassy little accent, "The sooner you leave this planet, the better." The shot then cut to a close-up of St. Louis' own Clownvis.

Who knows? Piers is the mean one. Maybe Sharon or Howie will salvage our hometown hero with their votes. Although, since Clownvis wasn't a large-breasted, scantily clad cat-woman lookalike, you probably shouldn't hold your breath.

Well, NBC, you win. We watched tonight, and we'll tune in tomorrow in hopes to watch Clownvis blow some minds. I've never so envied those with DVR.

Clownvis is an idiot. He should have known better than to say something about Ozzy to Sharon. She is very much in love with her husband and like any good wife she came to his defense. Ozzy has amazing talent which is not something that can be said for this clown wanna be.

I'm pretty sure the Chicago one is coming up this week. RFT reporting is so shotty sometimes.

I think tonight's show will feature the Dallas tryouts. Clownvis was in Chicago, so you could maybe be safe skipping this one. Although there could be some more good CP snippets again. Also, if they're doing another two hour broadcast maybe the second hour could be Chicago. Who knows? Best to watch it all! Or none of it & wait for the bazillion youtube posts that will immediately follow.
