Every show has its own set of rules on eligibility.
Jeopardy states if you have appeared on a game show in 2013, you were not eligible to take the test in January of 2014...so even if your appearance was on Jan 1, 2013, you were not eligible to test in 2014.
Thus, for only the second time ever, I didn't. (The first was in 2010; I was in the pool.)
I doubt they will be any different next year. My guess is WOF has the same rule.
That doesn't really answer my question. But they do.
Now Millioaire rules are NETWORK shows, with one year from broadcast date until you can receive their phone call to come on the show.
Now see, here's the problem. The rules don't specify that I couldn't try out for a cable show (in fact the opposite is the case) and I tried out for The Chase last month as it was.
This was another concern- they say any show having its first broadcast within that year. Which for whatever reason makes me confused as to whether they mean a show premiering or one of the established. (I don't have the number for legal on me...)
Again, every show is different, and every rule is always "at producers discretion", so anything can happen.
Obviously.
I do appreciate the input, but I don't feel as if you fully answered me (you did rehash some stuff I was already aware of, but A for effort). Your last point was the best, though- but I might feel better with something more definitive. If it exists.
