GSN wants you for The American Bible Challenge
Santa Monica, CA – May 14, in the year of our Lord 2012
– Calling all Bible fans: GSN (Game Show Network) and the
creators of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" are looking for
you! GSN is currently traveling across America casting
contestants who want to have fun and compete to win money for
their favorite charity by appearing on THE AMERICAN BIBLE
CHALLENGE, a new game show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. Casting
sessions will take place as follows:
Sacramento: May 18th - 19th
Los Angeles: May 18th- June 3rd
Atlanta: May 25th - 26th
Chicago: June 1st - 3rd
Dallas: June 1st - 3rd
GSN is looking for teams of three people who have competitive
spirits, great personal testimonies, a familiarity with pop
culture—and, of course, an awesome knowledge of the Bible.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate your
faith, have fun with your friends, show off your Bible
expertise, and potentially make an extraordinary difference to
your favorite charity by winning money on its behalf.
THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE is a studio-based game show in
which contestants compete based on their knowledge of the Bible.
Questions will be designed to acknowledge and celebrate the
Bible’s continuing importance in contemporary life and culture.
The contestants will share their compelling back-stories and
each team will be playing for a worthy charity.
Jeff Foxworthy, currently seen on GSN in his role as host of ARE
YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?, is one of the most respected and
successful comedians in the country. He is the largest-selling
comedy recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy® Award
nominee and bestselling author of more than 26 books. Widely
known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to
explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human
nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s.

GSN, with RelativityREAL’s Tom Forman and Embassy Row’s Michael
Davies serving as Executive Producers on the project. Nick
Stuart and Maura Dunbar of Odyssey Networks are Consulting
Producers. Odyssey Networks is the country’s largest multi-faith
