Get yourself on TV (or on the Internets, at least) (or somewhere; who knows?)

* UPDATE: Their own press release was wrong. The job's on the show itself, not the Internet incarnation.

I know a lot of these open casting calls tend to be just publicity stunts and then they go and hire a known professional anyway, but KNBC is having an online contest for "1st Look Los Angeles," a - well, let them describe it:

"In entertaining, short video episodes, KNBC/LX.TV shows you the newest and most exclusive destinations in food, nightlife, art, shopping, fashion, wellness, weekend escapes and family living. Their very own expert hosts take you behind the scenes for first-look access to the cutting edge of luxury lifestyle and the people who define it."

Well, that's something I know absolutely nothing about, so I'm out. (What does "expert hosts" mean? What are they expert at? Hosting or being pampered?) Anyway:

"KNBC/LX.TV is looking for an enthusiastic and talented professional who wants to host KNBC/LX.TV '1st Look Los Angeles.' The perfect candidate should demonstrate the ability to enunciate, pace, vocalize, and emphasize points effectively. The one winner will become a host of the online show. - (lookit here, this was the sentence in the press release that was wrong)" (Click on the above link for more information on how to apply. Contest ends June 14.)

Some advice: Given the kind of show it is, just don't try to do anything substantive, be perky and superficial and edit the bejeepers out of your clip, and you'll do just fine. And don't use that Bill O'Reilly "Inside Edition" clip as your audition tape.
