Casting Is Open

Be on
the show.

Somebody walks out of our studio every week with a story they'll tell for the rest of their life. There is no secret to getting picked and no agent required. You fill in the form. We read it. That's the whole thing.

Now Casting Beat Shazam Don't Forget the Lyrics!

How It Works

Three steps.
No mystery.

01

Apply

Fill in the form below. It takes about five minutes and there's no fee, no audition tape requirement and nobody you need to know. Just tell us the truth about who you are.

02

We watch

Our casting team reads every single submission — actual humans, not a filter. Be yourself and be specific. Energy and personality matter far more to us than how much trivia you know.

03

You hear back

If you're a fit for a show we're casting, a producer reaches out to talk about next steps — usually a quick call or a short video chat. No fee is ever charged to be considered.


Free Advice

What makes
a great
contestant

These aren't requirements and there's no scorecard. But after twenty years of casting game shows, here's honestly what makes us stop on an application and read it twice.

  • A personality that fills the room. Loud is fine. Quiet and hilarious is also fine. What doesn't work is careful. Big feelings play on camera; polished ones don't.
  • A real reason you want it. "It'd be fun" is true for everybody. Tell us what winning would actually change — the debt, the trip, the person you'd bring, the thing you'd prove.
  • A story worth telling. One good story about your life beats a résumé. The odd job, the weird hobby, the family rivalry, the thing your friends always make you retell at dinner.
  • Comfort on camera. Not experience — comfort. If you can talk to a stranger like you've known them ten years, you'll be fine under the lights.
  • The ability to travel to Los Angeles. Most of our shows tape here. If you're picked, we'll talk through dates and logistics with you before anything is locked.
