Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

I had an agreement with a producer from Dr Phil to appear on the show as a talking audience and when I showed up early in the morning I was not on the list and I was told they are not gonna use me although I called in the early morning to confirm. I spend 5 hours to get there, the waiting time and get back. I would never go to the show if I wouldn't have a talking part! So my question is : Can I be companseted for my time in this case. I lost so many hours of my day for Nothing!!!. Thank you for the answer

The answer to your question depends entirely on the terms of the agreement. Sometimes, the terms will have a clause that allows them to make last minute changes. If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact me or an attorney in your area.
