Filling the shoes of the successful Fox television show Glee cannot be an easy job. When it was time for several of the cast members to graduate high school a huge casting call was created with hopefuls auditioning online and in major cities.
A reality show tracking the progress entitled The Glee Project was born for the Oxygen Network. On the first season finalists were narrowed down eventually giving two winners a seven episode arc and two winners a two episode arc.
For the second season there’s a whole new batch vying for the prize.
Nunn talked to mentors casting director Robert Ulrich, and choreographer Zach Woodlee.
Jerry Nunn: Hi, Robert. We had breakfast when you were casting for this season in Chicago.
Robert Ulrich: Hi, how are you doing?
JN: Great. I noticed you cast Dani who had been on America’s Got Talent. Do you think that gives her an unfair advantage?

Victoria “Tori” Spelling and husband Dean McDermott have been working the reality show circuit for years now. Although the series on the Oxygen Network was titled Tori & Dean: Inn Love for the first two seasons centering around a bed & breakfast, the third season was renamed Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood with a move to California and has remained with that title even today. Now in its sixth season the show shakes it up by opening a new furniture business called InvenTORI.
Growing up the daughter of Candy and Aaron Spelling has kept Tori in the public eye with television shows such as The Love Boat, Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210. She went after a movie career with Trick and House of Yes then found her niche on her own show NoTORIous on VH1.
We caught up to the happy couple just before the debut of their newest endeavor.
Jerry Nunn: Hello, Tori and Dean. I know this is a big day for you both with tons of press the day before the show debuts.
Tori Spelling: A little bit, not that much. We are very particular, just the ones we want to do like you.
JN: That’s good to hear. I’m excited to talk to you because you have been such a great gay supporter.
TS: Oh my gosh, thank you!

The Oxygen Channel is breathing new life into the hit television show Glee with its latest project. The winner of the Glee Project competition earns a seven-episode arc in a storyline built around their new character. Thousands auditioned around the country including an open call in Chicago. Through homework assignments of performing in front of a mystery guest and making music videos before a last chance recital these hopefuls proved their talents for TV. The producer Ryan Murphy whittled down the group to the final four and had a record number of 1.2 viewers for the finale. The results were a double win for Irish Damian McGinty and rocker Samuel Larsen with a bonus two-episode stint for Rachel-esque Lindsay Pearce and openly gay Alex Newell. Nunn on the Run talked to the group the day after the finale.
Jerry Nunn: Hi, all. The Project is finally over. How hard was it to keep the secret?
Samuel Larsen: Nearly impossible.
Lindsay Pearce: It was really hard.
Alex Newell: Pretty easy.
SL: It sucks, but I think when you have that kind of a lawsuit that could potentially be against you if you say anything, it gets in your ears.

Singer Aubrey O’Day of the P. Diddy all girl group Danity Kane is returning to the world of reality shows. After being dismissed on MTV’s Making the Band, she is now flying solo on Oxygen’s All About Aubrey. The new show chronicles the trails and tribulations as Aubrey is out to prove that she can make it without the band.
Hey, Aubrey. After the pressure of Making the Band, how has it been with your own reality show?
Well I’d say the pressure has probably only gotten stronger. It’s a different type of pressure though. Originally Making the Band and forming a unit with four other women was the struggle. Everything is on my shoulders as a solo artist so I feel it harder than I did in Danity Kane.
Do you regret your action of separating from the group?
