Our favorite fake moment was one day we went to a taping and out front of the studio was a thick long line of people. We assumed it was the line to get in to see AGT so we got in it. Then they started filming our line from the sides and from a huge cherry picker boom thing above. OUR LINE WAS NOT EVEN A REAL LINE. It was just a bunch of people being filmed in a line. So funny, we still laugh at that one. We walked around the building to find the actual line to get in. Lol.
You should have demanded some pay! You were extras! :-)
