1. Making Your Videotape
Making a videotape audition for the program is very easy. Using a video camera, make us a 5-minute tape that tells us a little about yourself and what you would do with $1,000,000. Be sure to include the people you would like to appear with you on-camera as your "supporters." Be creative, show us your personality - tell us what makes you unique. Please start with your name and hometown. There is no "right" or "wrong" thing to say on your tape, we just want to get to know you.

Make sure we can see and hear you clearly.
-Label the tape with your name address and phone number.
-We can only accept VHS tapes (The ones that fit in your VCR). Transferring your camcorder tape to VHS can be accomplished easily. Use the Red, White, and Yellow cables that come with your camera to connect it to your VCR. Push play on your camera, and Record on your VCR. Please run a test and make sure your transfer worked properly.
-Be Kind, Rewind. Rewinding your tape to the beginning greatly increases our fondness for you.

2. Filling out the Application:
Adobe Reader is required to view the application. Click here to download a free copy if you do not have it installed.
Please take your time and answer the questions honestly. We will only accept completed and signed applications if they are accompanied by your videotape.

Include a recent photo:
Please enclose a recent personal photo of each person with the application. Make sure your photo(s) are clearly labeled with your names and phone numbers on the back. It is best, though not mandatory to send 2 clear photos of each person - one close up and one full body.

judging from the hyper, coked-out wierdos they have on the show that moonwalk around when the open every case, i'd have no chance.

someone I know was one of the advice people or whatever for her roomate on this show about 3 months ago. This is the only episode i've ever watched or will ever watch, and they were both pretty normal people so I have no clue if they're looking for something special in a contestant. I think looks are probably a factor though.

Judging by the two episodes I've seen, they're looking for lunatics.

yep. people with lots of energy and who are not afraid of looking like an ass on tv for the shot at a lot of money.

i'm as big a money-whore as the next person, but i don't know if i could act like that..i'd be thinking and 'doing the math' too much...

also, i'm fairly sure a couple [censored] or [censored] would fly if i didn't expect the million to show up and BAM, there goes my game..

When I was a kid, Mad magazine spoofed "Family Feud".

The part I remember was a stagehand standing next to the cameraman, holding up a cue card that said, "JUMP UP AND DOWN LIKE IDIOTS, OR YOU DON'T GET TO KEEP THE MONEY."
