A few weeks ago I went to an open call to audition to be on 1 vs. 100 which was to figure out whether or not I would be an ideal candidate to be the 1, or one of the 100 (the “mob”). I was one of 120 or so people, and had found out that several of these open calls were happening on that day, and on several other days. We all answered a quiz, which included tons of random trivia, then went through a basic interview process where 6 people went up to a table and told the casting agent why they should be on the show. After we all gave our pitches, 3 of the other people were told that they could go. After that, I was the next to be sent on my way. Thinking that I didn’t stand much of a chance, I went home just glad that I gave it my all.
Today I got a call from the show, and they have asked me to be in the mob. While this isn’t necessarily going to put me in the lime light, per se, it does carry with it a greater chance that I can win some cash. The times I’ve seen the show in the past the 1 has always been a little dumb, which is to say, not nearly as knowledgeable as I.
I’m not even guaranteed to be in the mob, though I was told that the earlier I get there, the better my chances. I plan to be 2 hours early.
CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
