A few days ago I posted a note about Are You Normal, America?, a new game show coming to OWN. (That's Oprah's, er, own network.) Now it looks like a casting outfit is recruiting contestants for the show.
At least the call asks for people who can "decide what is normal to the general public." Which does sound pretty much like the premise for the OWN project. The show is supposedly "comedy-driven," so I don't expect spectacularly interesting gameplay. Looks more like an attempted yukfest.
What really catches the eye is the top prize of a hundred grand. Not bad by cable standards. Though if anybody can afford the money, it's the affluent Ms. Winfrey. Contestants should be "fun, energetic, quirky and big personalities." So if you're no fun, listless, non-quirky and a little personality...try Jeopardy. (Just kidding, Alex.)
Of course, this casting call might not be for the OWN show. But I haven't seen any other game show projects lately based on deciding what's normal and what ain't. If you want to try out, good luck.
