Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know about a new web series
starting this fall called "The Smart Show." It's an
online daily web show produced by partners: HBO's
"This Just In" comedy site, AOL and Holiday Inn
Express. It's a program that will explore what's so
smart about America. We're sending two hosts on a road
trip from Boston to L.A. stopping in cities and towns
along the way to showcase our great melting pot of
"smart" ideas.

The casting call begins online tomorrow (Friday), July
20th at 5 p.m. You can upload 2-minute video auditions
to www.hiexpress.com/thesmartshow

Below is a summary explaining the details- what to
submit, more on the show, etc.

Thanks and please forward to anyone you know who may
be interested.

Annaliza
(Copywriter, The Smart Show)

*****DETAILS*****

OPEN CASTING CALL—Grab your 60,000 minutes of fame!
(Get a head start! Accepting online entries starting
Friday July 20, 2007 at 5 p.m. through August 20th)

THE ROLE OF A LIFETIME
Co-host a daily web show exploring what's so smart
about America while on a
2-month cross-country road trip. Shoot, edit and post
the show all on
your own (with a little help from a veteran producer
and your personal
crew.) Discover the clever, witty, innovative &
unexpected ideas,
places and faces that make us all think (and laugh.)
Stuff like:
• An alarm clock that runs away from you when
you hit snooze
• High-tech, self-cleaning public toilets
• A band that makes music with type-writers

WHAT MORE REASON DO YOU NEED?
• Fame. It's all about you. You'll write,
produce, perform in, blog about, and physically drive
the show. (Ok, and get $25,000 for 3-month commitment)
• With major online media support, you're
guaranteed huge exposure.
• Make big connections working with AOL, HBO and
Holiday Inn Express
• It's the roadtrip you've been dying to take
(but free gas, food and lodging)

GET A JUMP ON THE AUDITION
• Submit an on-camera audition on a topic you
think fits The Smart Show
• Keep video under two minutes and clean enough
to show 8th graders.
• Need ideas? Try one of these:
1. Show us something unexpected about your city
or town
2. Pitch an invention (real or imagined)
3. Persuade aliens to adopt one of earth's most
practical ideas
• Must be 25 years or older, a legal U.S.
citizen and U.S. resident and able to travel in the
continental United States from Aug. 1 – Dec. 1, 2007.
