My Game Show Audition

[imp]

Tonight, I posted a random musing about my experience auditioning for two immensely successful American game shows.

Read the blog.

Too funny, Benjamin! Especially....

When it came around to me, I introduced myself as an Art Director who recently published a book about the ‘World’s Greatest Toy line’ from the 1970s. “Which,” I mockingly announced to the room, “is NOT Star Wars.”

Oooooh. BIG groan from the room. I probably shouldn’t have taken a dig at my fellow contestant wannabes, but, oh man. I enjoyed it immensely

You certainly are a "character", and I'm sure the agents spotted that. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you got a callback. I'd say you'd probably work better on the 1 vs 100 show, since Saget is more witty and sarcastic than Mandel. It'd be a better dynamic.

I watch Deal or No Deal fairly often, and I have a hard time rooting for the contestants since most of them come off so aggresively annoying, it's hard to pull for them. I realize they're told to be very high-energy, but many seem to think that's synonymous with being obnoxious; especially the male contestants.

And if you DO get on Deal, please don't say "I know I've got a million dollars in there, Howie!" more than twice. Same goes for "Keep it low!"

And please give Leyla (13) my # if you get a chance.. she's a wild temptress, that one!

Hope you get a callback dude and remember us if you win that million...lol

Good luck man, since they actually specifically asked you to audition I'd say your chances are quite good.

I didn't know "Somewhere In Time" is one of your favorites?! That's easily in my top five films! Right on

I agree, and thank you. I would much prefer "1 vs. 100," since the contestant actually has some input regarding the outcome. "D.o.N.D." is little more than a series of dice rolls. With hot women, but still… I could go to Vegas for that. Hardly interesting, but I'd still do it.

"1 vs 100" would be great fun. I feel fairly confident in my pop culture awareness, but I'm sure I'd get nailed on some random geography or trick math questions.

Umm. Yeah. I'll be sure to do that.

It's one of the few "chick flicks" that gets me every time. I may not know what's good, but I know what I like. Jane Seymour, for example.
