Laissez les bon temps rouler
Someone emailed this information to me about the Jeopardy casting call:
If being part of America’s Favorite Quiz Show® sounds like a dream job, then you should try out for the JEOPARDY! Clue Crew!
The Clue Crew travels to landmarks, historical sites, special events and other fascinating locations across the globe to tape video clues, which are incorporated into the show. It’s the job of a lifetime and it could be yours...
JEOPARDY! is looking for people with a great on-air presence, an inquisitive nature, creativity and intelligence and lots of enthusiasm. If you love JEOPARDY! and think you have what it takes to be considered, go to www.jeopardy.com and click on "The Clue Crew".
Years ago I applied for a job on Jeopardy as a researcher. The researcher position is the next step to becoming a writer on Jeopardy. Writing positions on Jeopardy have a very low turnover rate. They only come up once every five years or so and is an incredible badge of honor for geeks everywhere. The turnout was impressive. We had to take the test that contestants have to take to qualify them for appearing on the show. To be considered for the interview phase, we had to place in the top 2%. I made it to the interview phase, but my writing credits at the time were unimpressive. And by unimpressive I mean nonexistent. Now the Jeopardy Clue Crew, that is truly underwhelming. But hey, if you're going to reach for the stars, reach for the lowest ones.
Since I won't use my knowledge of arcane facts to win cash and prizes, then what do I do to assuage my bloodlust for attention? How about a reality show for gamblers? See for yourself:
Casting Call: Lion Television is looking for 12amazing people with little or no gambling experienceto go on a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas, allexpenses paid. Once there in your luxury digs, you'llbe taught how to gamble professionally by the finestplayers in the world and then be taken to the bestCasinos to compete with a chance for The Jackpot.Interested? Email http://us.f139.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=vegas@liontv.us&YY=25063&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b with contactdetails and phone, and one sentence why they shouldchoose you. You must be 21 or over, have noexperience playing cards for money or gambling formoney, and available during the first two weeks ofFebruary. No actors. Apply before Friday December 17. Good luck!
Ever since Celebrity Poker Showdown, I have come to reversee my position on my gambling. I still suck at it, but with the proper guidance and training, I'm sure I could become mediocre. And that's a lot better than fucking embarrassing, which is what I usually am. So it really is again about managing expectations. Besides, what I really want to do is audition for the new roller derby. I hear they're bringing back the California Thunderbirds. I could get in a great workout, have an outlet for my aggressions, and get paid for it. Okay, I'd have to wear satin boy shorts and a mouth guard, but I've worn similar outfits for damn good reasons at the time. Time to get my joggers out of the closet and practice throwing elbows.
