Many game shows are established and have ongoing casting, while others are set to only air for a limited run and have seemingly fleeting casting calls. This list will be updated regularly with all of the open casting calls, ongoing contestant searches, and special events I can find. For even more calls, I've got a handy list of places to find casting calls as well.
Current Casting Calls
These casting calls are put out for a limited time only, so don't miss your chance!
- Queen for a Day -- Looks like yet another remake of Queen for a Day is in the works, or at least a show that's identical in its concept. If you're a "deserving" female in the Los Angeles area, the casting call is posted at Craigslist.
- House of Fun -- This one is, admittedly, a little odd. Producers are looking for boys aged 13-15 for a "Run the house without the supervision of your parents" type of thing that somehow also includes games and challenges. Parents in the Los Angeles area are encouraged to apply through this Craigslist posting, and casting will close on November 29th.
- Honey, Please -- The latest confirmed GSN original game is called Honey, Please. We touched on the premise for this one back in April - it's a hidden camera thing in which spouses or roommates get their partners to do tasks. If you're interested, the casting call has been posted on Craigslist, and at Reality Wanted, and ends December 19th.
- Casting College Students for Game Show (New York) -- This is a pop culture trivia game, and Embassy Row is looking for pairs of college students to participate in the pilot for a "major network." Filming will take place in New York. Interested? Here's the casting call.
- Catch 21 -- GSN is looking for contestants for Catch 21. The casting call can be found at Reality Wanted, and runs until December 31st, 2009.
- Shuffle Up and Deal -- We don't know much about this show just yet, but it's calling itself a "family friendly poker-themed game show." Potential contestants can head over to the website and send an e-mail (the contact addresses are all listed at the bottom of the page) to get more information.
- Perfect 10 on NBC -- Here's the casting call for NBC's new show, Perfect 10. We do know that there's no trivia involved, and the game requires a certain level of hand-eye coordination. The casting call is on Craigslist, and only requires a bit of info and a photo to get more information. Update: It's also posted at Reality Wanted.
- The Newlywed Game -- GSN is casting for their second season of The Newlywed Game, hosted by Carnie Wilson. If you're a newlywed (married less than two years), send an e-mail to thenewlywedgame@embassyrow.com, and include your names, ages, location, phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
Open Casting Calls
Open casting calls usually involve long lines and a full day of waiting to meet with producers. You'll generally only have a couple of minutes to make an impression, so put your best face forward!
There are currently no open casting calls scheduled.
