Anyone would be nervous to open an “America’s Got Talent” audition episode. Eric Booker sure seemed to be on Tuesday's landmark 20th season premiere. The former New York City subway conductor smiled timidly, shifting his weight from one foot to the other as he explained to lead judge Simon Cowell that retirement gave him more time to work on his talent.
“Well, Eric, you’ve got two, three minutes, as we always say, to change your life,” Cowell said, signaling Booker’s audition to commence. Alas, his talent is not worth quitting his day job. In quick succession, he downed large jars of pickle juice, hot dog water, creamed corn and hot sauce. Cowell deemed this acid reflux extravaganza to be “small.”
