"Prizes, money, fame, being a game show contestant on a TV game show. Hi, I'm Joe Pauly, and I'm going to try and help you out, to get your goal of being on a show. What's my best advice? Well, there's no single cure for doing this. There's a lot of things you're going to have to do. Watch your favorite game shows. Look at the end credits. Find out where the website is, on the end of the show. Contact the game show. Contact the producers. See about getting them a tape. If they request a tape, put together a tape, and in your tape, make it your personality. Show them what you are. If you're a fun guy, make it fun.If you're a jolly guy, make it jolly. If you're bubbly, make it bubbly. Show your personality, something they are looking for, because they're really not looking for a contestant, they're casting, and they're looking for certain types. You know some people in the business? Contact them. That's going to be one of your best allies, there. If you're going to be in LA, or New York, that's another thing. Go to a game show. Go to a Price is Right, a Jeopardy, watch the shows. Get around it. Anything that will get you into the business, or get you around that. That's my best advice for you. As I say, there's no single one stop shop for this thing. You're going to try everything you can. Good luck. I'm Joe Pauly, from Yellow Snow Productions. Remember, if it's a good show, it's made with Yellow Snow."
