Often times, I am left to wonder why casting picks the people they do.  The instructions say to dress nice, and I have seen so many in sloppy shirts, shorts and dirty sneakers get moved on through the process; while many well dressed and even "pretty" people get tossed aside, even while they passed tests.

Jeopardy on screen attire has become much less formal in recent years (remember the pizza chef guy from NYC in a track suit), but then so has everywhere else.  Watch early episodes of TPIR and people are dressed up, now so many just look like slobs.

It's a shame you missed this thread.
It's not too much of a shame.  The Chase auditions in Indy are next Saturday.

I'll shoot them some electronic correspondence and will bring up my concern if they contact me before the audition date.

I think ultimately, personality still shines over appearance, or more importantly, how you play the game. Jeopardy seems to be the one exception nowadays.

Even in the mid-to-late-80s, it was still somewhat casual (Polo shirts for guys, blouses for women). I've been over the punny T-shirts for at least a decade, but I know they're here to stay (shrug).

Would a picture of Chris in a leisure suit have made you get the joke a little easier?

No such picture exists. :)

/I would totally rock it though

(remember the pizza chef guy from NYC in a track suit)

For a NY pizza guy, that *was* formal. Semi-formal would have been a bowling shirt.

I know a person in NYC who auditioned in April and was called to try out this month.

Even after this person mentioned that he auditioned in April, the auditioner was just all "whatever" (paraphrasing, but you get the idea)

That's what happened to me. I wish they had a little more consistency.
