Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Prime Time Application Info

Saturday May 9, 2009
Props and thanks to regular reader Jason, for finding this and passing it along!

Auditions for both the syndicated AND the upcoming prime time Who Wants to Be a Millionaire will begin May 18th in New York. For all the info you need, head over to the official Millionaire website, and bookmark these links:
  • Contestant Info -- This link will be updated regularly, and will soon have the rules for prime time contestant eligibility.

  • Online application form -- Read all the info here carefully. You'll be able to select a preferred audition date, and auditions take place Monday to Thursday, from 5-7pm.
Here's a quote from the application page, which is very important to understand: People who audition may be considered for either the Syndicated or the Network program, at Producer's sole discretion. So, it's not going to be your choice which version you may be selected to play on, and that's something to keep in mind if you're planning on traveling to New York just to audition.

All you need to do to be considered is fill out the online application form, submit it, and then it's a waiting game. You should get confirmation that they've received your application, and the next time you'll hear from them will be when they've set your audition date and time.

We have several members of the community here who have played the syndicated game, so if you have questions about the application and audition process, fire away in the comments section here! I'll have a collection of contestant tips and advice posted for you next week, so check back often.

If you're planning to apply to be on the show, best of luck to you!

I’m happy to help everyone out.

I for one am excited about the Prime Time version coming back (even if I can’t audition to be on it)

Good luck to anyone who is going to be auditioning and tell Meredith I said hello ;) (or if you meet Regis tell him to make CBS bring back Password)
