Who Wants To Be A Japanese Game Show Host?
So in the wake of NYAF, I got an e-mail from the patron saint of NYAF, Peter Tatara, who informed me that an unnamed TV network is looking for a TV host for a Japanese(-style) game show. Here’s the info:
Television Network is searching for a host for a fun Japanese game show pilot. They’re looking for outgoing, articulate, spirited males who appear to be between the ages of 21 - 35 and appear to be Japanese or of Japanese descent. Candidates must possess bold personalities and a devilish sense of humor.
People that exude a lot of enthusiasm, have wicked personalities, distinct styles and possess a unique charm on tape should apply ASAP.
They’re looking for someone that has an edge and likes to push the envelope. The perfect candidate would have a Johnny Knoxville-like appeal. If this describes you, please email nycastingteam@gmail.com immediately. Candidates with a unique style that is edgy, hipster and/or punk is preferred.
Television credits are not necessary. Improv / comedy backgrounds are a plus. There will be compensation.
It is an amazing opportunity for the right talent, so please email nycastingteam@gmail.com with a headshot / pic and let them know why you’d be the perfect game show host. Must be well-versed in the English language. Applicants don’t have to speak Japanese. Union and non-union okay. Taping will be in New York.
If it weren’t for the cosmetic surgery topped by a sex change that would be necessary to make me eligible for such a thing, I would be all over it. So those of you readers out there who ARE eligible– do it! DO IT NOW! (And tell me how it went!)

>and appear to be Japanese or of Japanese descent.
And “Asians are superior” racism gets more and more ingrained in our culture.

Anonymous: Ahh, but if they want an Asian who acts like Johnny Knoxvile, perhaps we can yet put a dent in the concept.
