The magic of Facebook enables an aspiring actress/comedian from Canada to find infoMania's own Ben Hoffman. Watch Ben generously answer her questions on how to break into show business, or at least the few questions she's able to get out while Ben's distracted by his double chin, a whirring helicopter and whether or not he should get a pet. Does she have what it takes to go from Toronto to Tinseltown? Judging by the "script" Ben writes for her screen test, the bar shouldn't be very high.
The infoMania Tech Report is a weekly segment where technology guru Ben Hoffman takes a look at the newest tech products, gadgets and video games. It has been called "the funniest tech show on the web." (No source for that quote is available at this time. In fact, there's a good chance it was made up.)

Ben Hoffman jumps into this "Tech Report" investigation of the Concept 1, a high-tech high-top that has been banned by the NBA because it supposedly makes you leap higher. Meet the twin brothers behind the too-hot-for-LeBron kicks. Watch Ben don the super-sneaks and jump way, way over the heads of our live studio audience. We're confident this is the only shoe segment you'll see this week that features Rosie O'Donnell, Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden. But if you somehow find another, please drop us a line. Because that sounds awesome.

Sarah Haskins fears every moment when she is not being protected by Broadview Security.
