He asked me to post this info from the contestant coordinator, as they are running a bit low on qualified applicants:
"If you and/or any of your intelligent friends, family, co-workers,
acquaintances, etc. could come to audition, we'd love to give them a
chance to be on the show.
Prospective contestants must:
• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have not appeared on a reality or game show in the past 6 months
• Not know an employee of “Merv Griffin's Crosswords," William Morris
Agency, or Merv Griffin Entertainment
Please e-mail Iwanttobeacontestant@letsdocrosswords.co
323.762.8282, to talk to me or any other member of the Contestant
Department. We'll give you more details, and talk about setting up an
audition.
Michael Toole
Contestant Coordinator
Merv Griffin's Crosswords"
Since I know someone who worked on the show (though only for a week), and I also did some work for relatives of Merv Griffin (who are not involved in the crosswords show), I assume I'm not eligible. But if you are, it might be worth a try (especially if you're on the West Coast, as they don't pay for travel to LA).
