How to Be Cast on ABC's "Wipeout"
Virtually everything about the ABC show "Wipeout" looks like something most of us first saw in a comedy show called "MXE" or "Most Extreme Elimination." That aside, the show had its debut in 2008, and was still in production as of 2011. Would-be contestants in a hurry to get physically challenged by the game's pratfall gags need to apply through the ABC website.

At the moment, yes. But at other times of the year, they will be looking for contestants from other parts of the country. -
