Jim Carrey‘s daughter, Jane Carrey, took the stage of American Idol last night to audition.

Jane, a 24-year-old mom, waitress and musician who describes herself as a huge ham, observed that it was difficult to live in her famously funny father’s shadow.

“It was definitely fun growing up with him as a father, he’s not the most extravagant celebrity so it’s been fairly normal — fairly. Everyone growing up has their issue with identity and trying to find themselves,” she said.

“It is difficult kind of growing up in the shadow of something and trying to find your place in the world under the huge shadow. The last name definitely helps and hurts, I feel like there’s kind of this pressure to maybe be better, because if I make it somewhere, I run the risk of people saying ‘Oh you only got there because of this.’”

Jane’s rendition of Bonnie Raitt’s “Something to Talk About” was enough to get her a ticket.

“Tell father we say ‘What’s up?’” Jackson told young Jane after she was handed her golden ticket.

She looks a little like Miley Cyrus, no?

What do you think… could she win this on talent alone?
