How to Be a Contestant on New York Game Shows

If you want to compete on a game show for cash and prizes, the first step in the process is completing the application. Television networks have different screening processes for contestant selection. Some networks require an application, while others may require a video presentation. Also, networks will periodically hold casting calls or auditions for game shows. While the majority of game shows are taped in the Los Angeles area, a few are taped in New York.
