A reality show… about magic.

Obviously, this called for a sure-to-be-nonsensical Friday afternoon IM chat with Slezak.

Have you seenthis?Slezak: Crazy!

Thats understandable.Slezak: YES!Annie: I hateAmerican Idoland you know it!

You still talk to me.

)Slezak: But I dont hateHPas much as I hate the idea of a reality show starring children.

Maybe theyll have a scary wizard tutor for that other stuff.

BTW the use of the wordApprenticein the title is making my brain hurt.

And I dont get how theyll judge the competition.

What if the kid disappeared during a challenge?

Instead of getting voted off?Ha!

See ya!Slezak: Like when Elle Fanning disappeared inThe Lost Room!

(That kid is no Dakota, btw.)

Well, THEN Id totally watch it.

That would be awesome.Annie: That would rock.

Especially if he or she was annoying.

And you know theyre all gonna be annoying.Slezak: I likedWilly Wonkafor that very reason.

Will Maggie Smith be the disapproving British judge?

The kids would just end up Botoxing each other.Slezak: Totally!

On one side of the Atlantic its all Enya and the Blarney Stone and faeries.

And on this side, what do we have?

Next time select Herb Mayo.Slezak: Totally!

They left out the magic ingredient.Annie: The End.
