Audition[]

John Kilduff's audition in Episode 203 consisted of attempting to paint and mix drinks while running on a treadmill. Unfortunately, at one point, the easel tipped over. Piers Morgan and possibly the other two judges buzzed the act. At least two judges voted "No," eliminating John from the competition.
