Some of you may have seen this clip, especially if you're a regular watcher of America's Got Talent (and, judging by the ratings, there are a lot of you out there). Comedian Ricardo Aleman, who was auditioning for the show, fired off couple of good shots after both David Hasselhoff and Piers Morgan voted against him.The shot at The Hoff was fairly generic, so I'll let you hear it in the short video, which is after the jump. But what he said to Morgan was interesting: "You've been fired from every newspaper job you've ever had on unethical circumstances."
I guess Aleman had the foresight to Google the judges before auditioning for the show, because one of the first entries for "Piers Morgan" mentions how he was fired as editor of the Daily Mirror after photos he published of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi turned out to be fake. And his Wikipedia entry (which always needs to be taken with a grain of salt) mentions how he also left the News of the World after skirting the country's journalistic Code of Conduct. In addition, he was also admitted that, while with the Daily Mirror, he bought a large amount of stock in a company right before his paper published an "exclusive" story about that company's new Internet division. He was allowed to keep his job, but he was later fired after the aforementioned fake photo scandal.
So it looks like Aleman is one prepared guy (and a determined one; he's lost 70 pounds over the last three years). Notice that a) he didn't take any shots at Sharon Osbourne, who liked his act, and b) Piers and The Hoff seemed to get a kick out seeing the other guy get smacked. Hasselhoff's reaction to the dig at Piers is priceless.

Piers has a point - "Jump in My Car" is a heck of a video.
