callback
Second audition summons
A callback is a return phone call, or an invitation to return for a second audition or interview: She got a callback for the lead role.
In computing, a callback is a function passed to another function to be executed later.
In comedy, a callback references an earlier joke: The callback to his opening bit killed.
