    What's up. Just spoke to a girlfriend of mine, Jodi. They're casting for that show "Show me the Money." She runs part of the casting. I can't go one there because I'm her friend, but she told me to see if anyone else would be interested and have them give me a percentage of the winnings if she got them on, so I thought of this board.

    Let me know if anyone is interested.

    And if any mods find this inappropriate, feel free to delete this.

    I haven't seen the show, only previews, but I'd go on a game show in a heartbeat. One day, I want to be on Jeopardy. :cool:

























    But I have a feeling this is a Fatty prank.

    What is the general premise of the show and what is the time commitment if selected?

    This could be a job for The_Conquistador.

    This is by far the easiest game show I've seen on TV. Whoever gets on there should be set up to win some large amounts of $$$ and see hot girls dance for no reason!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show_Me_the_Money


    Show Me the Money is a variety/game show series hosted by Star Trek: The Original Series former actor William Shatner, which premiered in its regular one-hour time slot on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 at 8pm ET on ABC. The title is the same as a popular Catch Phrase from the film Jerry Maguire.

    The show is taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood.


    [edit] Game play
    Before the game, scrolls are distributed randomly to thirteen female dancers. These scrolls show 12 different dollar amounts and a symbol representing the "killer card". Currently the dollar amounts are:

    $20,000
    $40,000
    $60,000
    $80,000
    $100,000
    $120,000
    $140,000
    $160,000
    $180,000
    $200,000
    $220,000
    $250,000


    Each turn involves a set of three concealed questions (A, B, and C) with a common initial word or phrase. The player is shown this initial phrase and picks A, B, or C. The question is read and the player can either answer it or pass and pick another letter. The player is allowed to pass twice on a turn, but then must answer the remaining question. There is no going back to a previous question after passing. After giving an answer, the player picks a dancer who still has her scroll, which is opened; then the correct answer is revealed. If it shows a dollar amount, this is added to the player's pot for a correct answer or subtracted for an incorrect answer.

    When the player has given either six correct answers (shown as plus signs on the scoreboard) or six wrong answers (minus signs), each for a dollar amount (killer-card turns are not counted), the game ends and the player wins the total in the pot. (Thus the maximum win is the total of the six highest dollar amounts, currently $1,150,000 U.S.) The game may also end prematurely if the pot falls so far below zero that it could not become positive given the possible number of correct answers remaining.


    [edit] "Killer Card"
    If the Killer Card is revealed and the player answered wrongly, a "sudden-death" question is asked (with no option to pass). The player must answer correctly or else the game ends at once and the player wins nothing. A correct answer on the original question, or on the sudden-death question if asked, allows the player to continue to the next turn with the pot unchanged.

    I'm definitely interested. I'm pretty good with pop culture. I watch a lot of Vh1. Yeah, I know, I said it. I also work well under pressure. My friends actually call me "Ice Man". So if you want to make hundreds of thousands of dollars and have your wildest dreams come true, pick me.

    So you are telling me this game is easier than Deal or No Deal? It must not involve any talking or standing then, I must presume.

    This would signify complete coolness.

    Deal or no Deal is a freakin' gimme. unless your that idiot that turned down down 4 6 figure amounts b/c he thought he was cool by going for it all everytime. the moron gave up 160,000 to try to win 400,000 when their was a 33% chance he'd pick the wrong case. he went home with 10 bucks.
