Game shows often use auditions or interviews to identify potential contestants who have what they're looking for. For competitive shows, your audition may take the form of a short test or mock round of gameplay. In other cases, you may simply be asked a few questions designed to make you think on your feet.

It depends on the game show. Some of them require that you take a test to see if you qualify for more tests as Jeopardy! Some you would have to be in the audience as The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal. You would need to watch the show you want to be on and see how they get contestants.
