New reality show wants you! (and your female best friend)

We came across an open NYC casting call on Craigslist for a new reality show looking for straight girls and their “gay best friends.”

Here’s the pitch:

Are your friends constantly calling you Will and Grace? Jack and Karen? Kathy and her best gay? A NEW GAME SHOW celebrating the fascinating, complex, and hilarious relationship between gay men and their straight girlfriends is now casting! So if you're fun, outrageous, and know a lot of pop culture and mindless trivia, then we want you as a CONTESTANT! We are looking for BFF couples of all ages, who have a great dynamic together to take part in this new game show for a major cable network. If you think that you and your BFF would be fabulous, please e-mail your names, contact info, how long you have known each other, a brief description of your relationship, and a picture of both of you together or separate to newtvgameshow@gmail.com. You must be available May 20 and 21. Hurry spaces are filling fast!

This could be a bit of a train wreck. No doubt there’s a special “twist” that they’re not telling the applicants during the casting process. You sign on thinking you’re gonna be competing against other gay boys/straight girls in fun team challenges a la Amazing Race or Fear Factor, and instead they have each of you strapped to a lie detector answering embarrassing questions like, “Do you ever wish she had a penis?" or “Do you sometimes fantasize about converting him?”

Still, if I were in the New York area and available May 20^th and 21st I’d be tempted to apply.

The press release says this reality show is for a “major cable network.” That covers a lot of territory but who knows, maybe the network is Bravo and they’re secretly casting for a new season of Boy meets Boy. Wouldn’t that be fun? Anybody remember James & Andra? I loved Andra — and loved Michael McDonald’s impression of her even more. After the break the classic “Boy Meets Goy” sketch from Mad TV. Enjoy!
