The fact that he was even considered speak volumes about that show.
love AGT, funny tryouts and sadly Crazy George couldn't sway the judges for the next round. I think that he was selected due to being the originator of the wave. A novelty that they couldn't resist placing on TV. Of course Heidi has to go, she doesn't add much as a judge, but the money is in Howie (N BTW). At 60 years old Howie still lights up like a kid when an act surprised him.
Entertainment value = an all time low
Thought some of the younger/newer Lionbackers might like to see Crazy George in action from an October game at Empire Stadium in the 1978 season (I believe Crazy George was at least around in '77 but Frank Rigney is describing him to viewers like he's brand new).
Anyway, what they've tried to pull off at refurbished BC Place (but never really succeeded) was his old BEEEEE! CEEEEE! chant pitting one side of the stadium vs the other. Perhaps a good old fashioned bribe with a Tim Hortons card/voucher for the loudest side of the stadium would do the trick - at least until people become familiar with it.

First time I saw Crazy George was as a kid at a Canucks Game in the early 70's ... he was cheering for the California Golden Seals with the booster club. Everyone thought he was Crazy alright
