Daytime vs. nighttime, as in how contestants are picked.

(1/1)

PYLdude:
I've been curious:

Back in the day, when you'd have game shows that had a daytime edition and a simultaneous accompanying nighttime edition, what kind of job was it for the coordinators to find out which show a person/people (in the cases like Family Feud) would work best on? Did they have separate numbers/PO boxes to draw from for each show? Or did they just bring you in on an open call, do the interview, and decide from there?

TLEberle:
Open call, interview, cull the deadwood, sort by some algorithm.

BrandonFG:
Matt O. offered some insight from his $ale appearance. Thread offers a little more on how Wheel chose its contestants too.

/That thread allowed me to stumble upon a post I was trying to find for that syndication vs. network thread

PYLdude:
And my dumb ass is the one who started that particular thread. Wow. (Still though, nice revisit)

Searching didn't help. :)

TLEberle:
It's OK, I figured rather than going into great detail someone would mention/find that thread.
