Feel sorry for these two performers, apparently bummed (or exhausted, hard to tell which) after auditioning for "America's Got Talent" this morning at the Hammerstein Ballroom on West 34th Street?

 

Don't be.  The scene is completely set-up and staged by the producers for the benefit of an AGT camera positioned about ten yards away.  Besides, the show taping takes place before a live audience and, well, those folks are still waiting in line outside to get in.  How they'll "spin" this bit, anybody's guess.

 

Yes, it's all fake, but hey, that's entertainment!
