The audition process always throws up familiar faces who may have found some fame before.
But tonight viewers saw Jim Carrey’s daughter audition to become the next American Idol.
Jane Carrey, who is currently working as a waitress, explained her motivations for wanting to step out into the limelight ahead of her audition in front of Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler.
The 24-year-old said: ‘It’s difficult growing up in a shadow trying to find your way.’
Jane, who has a son, said: ‘I feel like there is all this pressure to make it, but better.’
‘I am here to just make my place in the world.’
As Jane came out onto the stage Randy asked her: ‘Does father know you are here?’Jennifer Lopez appeared confused by the answer and questioned who Jane’s father was.
When she realised it was the Ace Ventura star she gushed: ‘Oh I know Jim,’ before added: ‘I remember you from when you were little.’
While J-Lo remembered Jane, the aspiring singer admitted she didn’t recall meeting Jennifer because she was only around two-years-old.
Regardless of her famous father Jane still had to perform in front of the panel.
But the youngster’s talent proved good enough to secure a ticket to Hollywood.
Randy said: ‘I like you I like the voice I like the potential.’
Carrey, who has been married twice, wed Jane's mother Comedy Store waitress Melissa Womer on March 28, 1987.
The couple divorced in 1995 and shortly after Jim married his Dumb and Dumber co-star Lauren Holly but their marriage lasted less than a year.
After learning she had made it through to the next stage Jane called her father to tell him the good news.
He congratulated her and gushed to Ryan Seacrest: 'She’s so wonderful, she’s amazing I can’t wait for the world to understand what she has. Way to go. Oh my god this is going to be an exciting year.'
Jane, who lives in Los Angeles auditioned for the talent show on the USS Midway in San Deigo, which had been specially set up for the show.
