Million Dollar Password

So How DO You Become a Contestant?

Good news, Million Dollar Password just might be a hit, which means more game show audition opportunities for you. And game show fans in Los Angeles and Chicago were especially lucky in the past, because audition opportunities came right to their cities.



Yup, in Summers past, the revamped show held open casting calls in those two cities. Good for them! I wish they'd do it again THIS Summer. But before that can happen, CBS must first decide they want to continue this game show. Cross our fingers, right?

But let's say they do, and you're ready to secure a future Password audition slot. If you're not in Los Angeles or Chicago, and you missed your chance, now what?
