Wanted: One Fake-Real Assistant for Reality Show

Share

Thanks to a spy with a good eye: seems like some “real people” are casting for their “reality” show. They need a fake-real assistant to appear on the show on a “Major Cable Network.”The pay is six hundred bucks a week! No wonder cable TV is overflowing with this junk. Talk about slave labor. Good luck to the winner! The listing comes from Half Yard Productions, which produces the “DC” segment of the Real Housewives empire. But that show was canceled. So it’s either “Say Yes to the Dress”  or one of Half Yard’s other entries like “Pig Bomb,” “Hillbilly Handfishin'” or “Chopper Wars.”

Pay rate, as mentioned, $600 clams a week. And it’s non union, ‘natch.
