Win Big ... For Someone Else
New ABC reality show set to hold an open casting call in Houston: Do You DeserveIt?
Do you know someone who deserves to win a life-changing amount of money? Then stop by and meet the casting directors for You Deserve It this Saturday and tell his or her story.
From the producers of Deal or No Deal, You Deserve It is a brand new game show with a drastically different spin: The contestants themselves will not win a dime. Instead, they'll be competing to win money in honor of another — an everyday hero, a coach, a teacher, a volunteer, a military veteran, someone affected by a hurricane or an oil spill, etc ... Chris Harrison — ringleader of The Bachelor and Bachelor Pad — will also host this much-more-feel-good new show.
Houston is one of only two cities selected to host an open casting call, which will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Westin Galleria.
So do you know someone who is truly deserving? A friend who always does the right thing, or a kind family member who is down on luck and needs help? Do you have a story about them that will draw tears? Then queue up before 3 p.m., and keep your application secret from the person who you are playing for to remain eligible. (The show will feature an Extreme Makeover-style element of surprise.)
