After I saw this, no way. NOT gonna sit in wings for days waiting to not to play. Game needs serious reworkage.

But the great thing is: You don't have to wait not to play. The not playing started right away! And it lasted a looooooong time!goatman wrote:After I saw this, no way. NOT gonna sit in wings for days waiting to not to play. Game needs serious reworkage.

The waiting not to play actually started many months before that for you.Rex Kramer wrote:But the great thing is: You don't have to wait not to play. The not playing started right away!

A casting person left a phone message for me yesterday encouraging me to audition again. Not expecting much, but I suppose I'll follow up to see what this year's story is. Last time I didn't even get to the producer audition round, so I'm not sure why they think I'd be suitable now. Since I'm a local, last season I was asked to participate in their initial run-throughs, which was kinda fun, but it was obvious then to me and to the room full of observers, including the producers, that my knowledge was not even close to those who were ultimately selected, most of whom, like Rex, didn't even get beyond the green room.

Why do thy need to cast for this? They already have a qualified contestant pool that far exceeds their needs.

I hope they get a new host. The show needs to pick up the pace too.

The casting department reached out to me 3 weeks ago via LinkedIn (the Jep headshot works, people!), and yes, Season 2 will air; casting is almost done, from what I gathered. I can't say whether or not I'll be on it, at least not yet.

Good luck to all still in the running! I'm really curious if the rumors of a new host are true. I'm glad to see that they're still heavily recruiting from the Jeopardy! pool for Season 2.

Re: "500 questions" is casting for season 2
A few weeks ago I sent in my NDA and background check. Has anyone heard back from them since or are they still making casting decisions? I'm starting to wonder because supposedly they're shooting for a March 2016 filming date.

I read that as DNA and wondered what kinda checks they're running these days.DukeofIllyria wrote:A few weeks ago I sent in my NDA and background check.

Given how extensive the background check paperwork was, they would probably get less info from a DNA sample.
