Is That Your Final Answer?

So we had a little run of excitement here at Casa de McCarl. We filled out an application for Maverick to appear on Regis and Kelly for an amazing kids week they planned. We didn't think much of it and sent it in. A few days later we received a callback from the show! They needed a recent tape sent overnight so that they could make their final pick. They even called back later to ensure that the dates would work out okay. The dates of the show happened to be the same week of Maverick's tonsillectomy and we all were okay with putting that off!

So we waited and waited for them to callback with the final answer. We finally realized that they were not going to call back. When we finally realized that...they called...with a formal rejection. Sadly they were going to go a different direction with the entire segment. Turns out they went with sports kids. I guess singing Ring of Fire isn't a sport...so we were a little distraught at our boys casting bump, but there's always Ellen! What's more amazing than a four-year-old singing Ring of Fire? Ellen dancing to a four-year-old singing Ring of Fire!! Yeahhhh Buddy!

Watch the show the week of July 24 - 28th. They said they will be showing pictures of the kids who were not going to be on the show.
