Never Forget — The Audition

“Have a seat. Let’s see,” the man said looking at some papers. “You’re Alfred North?”

“Yes.”

“Well, you got a pretty good resume here. Let’s see, danced at a couple of Super Bowls. Okay. Wow, the Emmys and the Oscars?”

“Yup.”

“Impressive. Well, here’s what we’re looking for. You’ll be wearing a costume. It’s a vaccine costume. Actually, you’ll look like a syringe.”

“You mean like a needle?”

“Yeah, you’ll have a long needle on your head, but your body will be the vial, you know, the part that holds the vaccine.”

“Ohhhhhhh…kay.”

“You’ll look…well, like a syringe. Like a Covid shot.”

“Ohhhhhhh…kay. So this is a kid’s show?”

“Well, no, not a kid’s show.”

“Some kind of humorous commercial?”

“No, not a commercial. It’s for a late night comedy show.”

“So it is humorous? Some kind of skit?”

“Well, kinda, sorta, we are trying to convince people to get vaccinated.”

“Adults?”

“Well, yeah.”

“And you want me to dance dressed up as a Covid vaccine?”

“Yeah, that’s the basic idea.”

“This isn’t like some kind of prank video channel, is it?”

“No, no, nothing like that. It’s for the Stephen Colbert Report.”1

“Colbert? Really? Wow…that’s interesting.”

“Here’s the costume. Just try it on and come out and show us what you can do.”

“Nah, I think I’ll pass on this. Thanks.”

“Next!”
