LA Weekly notes that during most episodes of Let's Paint TV, Kilduff wears "his trademark crumpled and paint-stained Brooks Brothers suit."

He has appeared at several art shows throughout Southern California, often running on his treadmill, painting, and doing various other activities while museum patrons look on. 1

Audition[]

John Kilduff's audition in Episode 203 consisted of attempting to paint and mix drinks while running on a treadmill. Unfortunately, at one point, the easel tipped over. Piers Morgan and possibly the other two judges buzzed the act. At least two judges voted "No," eliminating John from the competition.
