Looks like the wheels are finally turning for the Ken Jennings game show on Comedy Central. Saw this ad posted today for contestants. Anyone seen this posted somewhere
where I don't have to pay $15 to apply?

This is how they plan to accumulate their prize budget. :)

Run throughs will be in July according to a source very close to Ken himself.

Is the idea to do just the runthroughs in NYC or will the show proper be taped there?

The article seems to infer that the runthroughs, as well as the actual show, will be taped in New York City. Would be an odd fit, though, consider Ken is a good ol' Utah boy.

WWTBAM and Studio 7 both were shot in NYC, so quite possibly, yes.
-
Davies' may want to share his Millionaire staff with this show, so it would make sense to tape in NYC. Depending on the number of episodes to be taped, if the staging of the show is not too complicated, they can crank out many episodes in a short amount of time. If there are physical or other types of challenges, it may take them longer of course.

Contestant: Physical challenge!
Marc Summers: Physical challenge. The answer we were looking for was the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Come on over, Ken!!
<drum beats for the physical challenge>
For this physical challenge...
Ken: What's that?
THAT would be your buzzer?
Ken: That's a funny looking buzzer......
For this challenge, you have to answer three questions correctly.
Ken: And how am I supposed to buzz in?
(and if you've seen "Distraction", you know the rest of the joke.)

I also sent in the application, since besides possibly facing off against KenJen, a NYC-based game would be no sweat for a LI native like myself...we'll see what happens!

Not before Norfolk!
ObGameShow: Wheel did a week or two of episodes on a Norfolk-based ship/carrier in 1995.
ObGameShow2: Regis and Kelly will be doing some episodes on another Norfolk-based ship/carrier in about 2 weeks.

I was selected to audition for the show. There are auditions this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I chose Friday. Hope to see some of you there. If you want to meet up before or after (audition is at 3), I would be available. Good luck.

I got selected, as well. Shooting for Friday, as well, but it is entirely dependant on work. Friday traffic in the Delaware/Philadelphia area SUCKS.

I was also selected for this wk, but have to reschedule due to my GSC13 commitment...shouldn't be a prob, though.

Ditto, tho' for a different reason.
Good luck, ya'll. We expect a full report.

Friday's audition has been cancelled. I am now trying for Thursday.

Good thing, cause I couldn't make it then, anyways. I replied back, asking for Wednesday, but havent heard anything yet.
-
I got an e-mail back saying Thursday is ok. I could not make it on Wednesday. Moderaters: If this thread is turning into something that shouldn't be here, I will stop posting in this thread.

I passed the KJ test. I was told I cannot audition for the first series of shows but I could audition for the second if I am a run through contestant. There is not really an incentive for me to be a run through contestant other than the experience that I can think of. I thought the interview went fairly well.
-
Congratulations, goongas.
Anybody going to be auditioning tomorrow (Tuesday)?

Supposedly, I'm there on Wednesday....but I haven't heard from them as to when or where....
Any advice for the test?

Any word on how this is coming along?
Curious as to how this is all going to go down.
If it's going to be shot in NY, I might try out myself. :)

Took the test for "Ken Jennings vs. the World" on Wed... 7 people in the group...apparently , they've already scheduled the contestants for the first 65 eps...and a second cycle has already been ordered....the people trying out now are trying out to be A: Runthrough contestants for the pilots, and B: contestants for the second cycle.
The test was not easy, some mult choice, most fill in the blank, and some general answer. Dunno what the watermark was , but 4 of us passed.
Runthroughs begin this week, and yes, it will be shot in NYC.
Other info : It's a new format. Looks like teams of contestants take on Ken at first....and there's no host yet.
-
No host? There is a guy in E. Lansing who has some experience in both hosting game shows and dealing with Mr. Jennings.....

Interesting. I was told I would have to reaudition for the second cycle. I know someone in my audition group got the call on Friday to be a rehearsal contestant this week. I did not get a call.
