Spike is launching a nationwide search this week to find undiscovered comedic talent for a new late-night talk show. The series is being developed and executive produced by Thom Beers, owner of Original Productions ( “The Deadliest Catch,” “Ice road Truckers,” “Ax Men,” and “Monster Garage.”)
The new late-night entry will differ from the typical late-night chatter of movie stars and politicos and will seek out ordinary people doing extraordinary things. The host search will focus on the same types: undiscovered comedic talent who mirror the regular, everyday guys the show will target.
Casting directors will scour the country and hold open calls in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Dallas (times and dates TBA), seeking two males who appear to be in their late 20s to mid-30s. The perfect candidate will have a likeable, regular-guy appeal with inherent comedic talent. Candidates selected will be flown to Los Angeles for a screen test with network executives.
Applicants can send contact info, name, age, location, and a link to stand-up clips to Erin Tomasello at erin@metalflowersmedia.com.
