WWTBAM application questions

#1 Post by gsabc » Mon Oct 29, 2007 7:06 am

They're the same ones sent to the summer auditioners, minus the deserted island one, IIRC. Frankly, they're a bit of a blur. All I recall is that I had my answers quickly, so there must not have been anything different.
---------------------------
If you make it to the hot seat, what's the first thing you'd want to tell Meredith about yourself?

How would winning $1MM change your life?

What is one thing you do that makes people laugh?

If you could vote yourself as best-____ or most-likely-to-___, what would be your vote?

Have you ever appeared in a newspaper, magazine or on TV before? If so, where and why?

Why do you want to be on Millionaire?

The deserted island one: If you were on a deserted island, what five things would you want with you?
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

These are the questions they asked in the application form that was e-mailed to the summer auditioners.
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE
AUDITION APPLICATION

Please answer the following questions:

1. If you make it to the hot seat, what's the first thing you'd want to tell Meredith about yourself?

2. How would winning $1 million change your life?

3. What is one thing you do that makes people laugh?

4. If you were on a deserted island, what 5 things would you want with you?

5. If you could vote yourself as best-_____ or most-likely-to_____, what would be your vote?

6. Have you ever appeared in a newspaper, magazine or on TV before? If so, where and why?

7. Why do you want to be on Millionaire?


And these are the eligibility questions. They shouldn't be a problem for most people, but there's no reason wasting a trip if any of them do apply.

1. If you make it to the hot seat, what's the first thing you'd want to tell Meredith about yourself?
I guess I'd admit that I’m not really 25 and an aspiring actor working as a waiter.

Oh, wait, this is the application, not a time for real honesty.

O.K. I was recently offered an audition for Russell Crowe's next movie when I impressed him with the way I handled some customers who were bothering him while I waited his table at the restaurant where I work.

Yeah, that's what I’d tell Meredith.
2. How would winning $1 million change your life?
Not so much my life but the lives of the crippled orphans in the Sudan who will benefit from the hospital I will build.
3. What is one thing you do that makes people laugh?
One thing? There are so many. I guess if I have to narrow it down its how everytime a waiter or waitress asks "Can I get you anything else?" I always respond "Yes, more cowbell. We need more cowbell!" That always makes 'em laugh.
4. If you were on a deserted island, what 5 things would you want with you?
Easy. Meredith Viera, a massage table, a bottle of scented oil, a condom, and a cigarette.
5. If you could vote yourself as best-_____ or most-likely-to_____, what would be your vote?
Best dressed million dollar winner of WWTBAM most likely to be asked back to participate in the $5 million champions' challenge.
6. Have you ever appeared in a newspaper, magazine or on TV before? If so, where and why?
I was on the front page of the Austin newspaper along with 1,000 other idiots waiting to get Elvis Presley tickets for his concert there about 3 months before he died.
7. Why do you want to be on Millionaire?
For the orphans.

I am SO glad that I didn't have to endure this process.

Merci beacoups

I hope my new friend checks in and finds them.

I told him the questions would give him insight into what the APs are looking for.
