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!
- 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 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.
- Silent Library on MTV -- Silent Library is a really funny show from MTV, based on a Japanese game show. It appears that they're not looking for actual contestants, but for people who fit certain stereotypes to try and get the contestants to laugh/break their silence. This one applies to non-union members in the NYC area, and the details can be found here.
- Wipeout! -- Wipeout is casting a special episode for models only. According to the Craigslist casting call, any type of model is welcome, from hand models to plus sized models to tattoo models.
- 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.
