The pogo sticker did not make it through the round because they thought
it was a cool, potentially successful sport, but they were looking for
the next David Blane or Sinatra.

And the sword-swallower didn't make it past the first round because the
judges didn't know "if America is ready for this". Or was that the
contortionist? Both acts that have been around for thousands of years.
Too bad the show doesn't have judges who know anything about variety
acts.

A unicyclist did make it to the top ten in the first season. He just
wasn't using unicycling in his performances. That was Johnny Lone-Star,
the trick roping, gun-twirling bottle-tossing guy. Teresa and Sem also
auditioned in the first season, but chose to start with an acro act and
save the unicycling for later, which was probably a mistake.
