Would you like to be in the audience of your favorite TV talk show? It may be that you are a fan of the host or have thought it would be exciting to be on a live set of a TV production stage. Perhaps you have thought about the prize money you could win on games shows like “The Price is Right,” “Jeopardy” or “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” Or, you may have a personal matter that needs airing out on “The Jerry Springer Show” or Court TV.

Whether you want to be a member of the studio audience, contestant or guest, “Appearing on TV Shows for Fun, Fame, & Fortune: A Guide for Audiences, Contestants & Guests” is for you. This book guides you through the steps to take to appear on TV shows. I have outlined game shows, talk shows, sitcoms and court TV to watch live as a member of the audience or to appear as a contestant or guest.

In the creation of “Appearing on TV Shows for Fun, Fame & Fortune”, I united all the information I could find. My goal was to give you, the reader, the most convenient way to appear on TV shows. Realizing that not everyone has access to the Internet, I have included all possible methods of obtaining tickets for TV shows or appearing as a contestant or guest. I have made acquiring audience tickets, contestant information and studio information available through telephone numbers, regular mail and websites.

The next most important feature of “Appearing on TV Shows for Fun, Fame, & Fortune: A Guide for Audiences, Contestants & Guests” is that all tickets and appearances listed are FREE. Some tickets for such shows as “Saturday Night Live” are in short supply and difficult to obtain. You may know that certain Internet sites make available tickets for these shows in a short time costing around $100.00. Yet with the right planning and the help of this book, you can receive tickets for more than a hundred shows...absolutely free!

Again, the right planning and patience, is often necessary. For instance, tickets for shows such as Rosie O’Donnell are available only in August, and most game shows only admit contestants who haven’t made an appearance on a game show in the previous year. I have included most regulations for game shows, the best times to apply for tickets, and have also included the production seasons. With this information a person can use certain planning strategies for appearing on any show.

So whether you want to watch your favorite host live, have a problem you want to discuss on national television, or are just in it for the money, “Appearing on TV Shows for Fun, Fame, & Fortune” can help you do it. Using the information this book will provide you with, soon you too can be watching yourself on TV.
