$500 Game Show Finders Fee Active Duty/Retired Military Trivia Pros (Los Angeles)
A MAJOR CABLE NETWORK is looking for Active Duty or recently retired Military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) who are GREAT at Trivia for a returning quiz based Game Show. We are looking NATIONWIDE! Contestants have won hundreds of thousands of dollars and if you refer someone that makes it on the show we'll send you a check for $500! Contestants MUST have strong knowledge in at least SOME of these fields...History, Science, Math, Geography, Pop Culture...To be considered please respond back with YOUR name, contact info and the name and contact info of the member of the Military you want to refer. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH THEM FIRST! We are taping in the Los Angeles area the first three weeks of November. (If the contestant is out of state, we will fly them out and provide lodging/meals/per diem at our expense) Contestants will need to be available for a single, full day during that period. Deadline to submit is Friday October 24th.
Thanks!

When a MAJOR CABLE NETWORK advertises on craigslist, how do they establish their bona fides? This doesn't pass the smell test for me.
Is there a shortage of military people who are good a trivia? (Okay, they say they want someone GREAT with trivia, but I don't believe that, either. Don't they mean "good" at trivia with "GREAT" TV personalities?) I would think they'd have no shortage of auditioners, without needing to pay a finders fee to someone else who make a referral.

They would be more credible if they said what show it is. According to the blurb, it must be an existing show if people have already won hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why would they be ashamed to say who they are?

That one seems legit. Professional twerkers have been featured by several acts I've seen at music festivals this year.
Tim H, thanks for posting these here whenever you see them. Your posts are among the ones I value the most on this board, so please keep them coming!

Right. And
nobody else would be interested in complete strangers sending them twerking videos.

FYI, Tim's post is probably for The Chase, assuming GSN can be called a MAJOR CABLE NETWORK. This is the first time I've heard of them offering a $500 bounty for contestants. I'm pretty sure it's legit, but the show sends a lot of mixed signals about what they're really looking for. It's also strange that they don't say who they are, if they are proud of their show.
