*In the audience. Yeah, not performing—this time!

One of the funner things that happened during my divorce summer 2023—after I fled our household, and was homeless and on the run from my unstable spouse—was being a spectator on the newest America’s Got Talent spinoff called Fantasy League with my aunt Debbie and Uncle Mark.

The debut episode airs tonight on NBC at 8pm in most timezones.

Tune in and perhaps you will see yours truly, Sean Carnage, in the audience! We weren’t supposed to take photos but I snuck a few anyhow:

The big news was “MEL B IS BACK!” I’m proudly Team Mel B. We loved it when she told Simon to shut up. Only a Spice Girl could do that.

We were seated tight near the judges. They were all really nice. Good thing, ‘cuz we were all trapped there together for eight hours!

Mark and Debbie remarked: “It was like going to eight Las Vegas shows.” And I can’t disagree. For free entertainment—during the writers and actors strikes no less—this was the best ticket in Hollywood.

Watch the advance video below. Shadow Ace was so rad! Truly. You can see the back of our heads. Maybe you’ll see more of us tonight!

I could tell you more, but I pledged not to spoil things. If you ever want to attend a TV taping hit me up!
