We usually tape one show a day and it takes about an hour or so.

how can i get on the show?

Hello there,
Reading a few of your comments, one particular answer caught my eyes. You replied to a person "cool down, man; it's just a game", or something along that line. Corroborated with the fact that you call yourself a "borderline psychic" it prompts me to ask you a couple of questions.
Well, it is just a game, indeed. However, scanning through the winners' list, one could not but notice that most or frequent winners come from three states: California, Colorado, and Washington. Of course, there are names from other states to ensure the "random" factor, yet the proportion is very small (talking...numbers, eh?). Is there any explanation for this FACT? How much of the "psychic" factor is involved in picking the winners of the "lucky case" at... "Random"? This show reminds me of the same deal noticed on the Overhaulin' show: people from all 50 states + Canada can apply for a car overhauling, yet only people from California are chosen. You guys indeed got the "random" factor down to...perfection. : Wink:
Nevermind talking further about the "surprise" on the contestants' faces when they are pulled from the audience... Coming with "it is still warm" pies made especially for Howie gives a hint for how "surprised" and "clueless" contestants are when picked from the crowd...
By the way, do you need to adhere to "acting weird and over joyous on the stage" in order to have a chance to get on the show?
One more thing: how "random" of a chance you folks give people to get on the show if they don't possess (hey, everyone wants to become contestant b/c of a financial rationale, isn't that right?) a camcorder or don't have the possibility to rent/borrow one, since sending a tape in is the benchmark for becoming a contestant? Some folks (detractors) might ask "hey, dude, what corner of the world you live in since you cannot afford/find a camcorder?"... But I guess I am not the only one mentioning not having a camcorder…

HI MR. BANKER...I THINK YOU ROCK.... I LOVE YOUR SICK HUMOR...AND IT CRACKS ME UP BECAUSE HOW DO WE KNOW WHATEVER HOWEY SAYS IS REALLY WHAT YOU SAY... HE COULD BE MAKING IT UP AND EVERYONE FALLS FOR IT..... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Hey banker,
How are you? That's Good...
I have a question...
What's it like up there where no body can see you? If one is on the show do they get to meet you, but are sworn to secretcy?

Banker I like your style I dont care what anyone says your the man in my book. Though I hope one day to see who you are. Kinda like watching Charlies angles with ALOT of angels.

Hello banker I think you are doing a great job, this is what is it's all about to make a deal. I have a quick question, if you audition would you happen to know how long it takes before someone calls you. Thanks,
Tyla

i'm very sorry but i am so not fond of you you're rude and unconsiderate of other people's feelings and it's very wrong i don't understand how you can sleep at night!!!!

Hi Mr Banker!!! I am a HUGE fan of the show. Is it to late to submit a video audition tape? I attended last years audition in Cleveland and came pretty close to being a contestant. I would like to try again. you can email me personally. Thanks and great job!!!

Why do we have to submit a video to be on the show? Do you know what they are looking for in particular in a contestant?

WHATS YOUR NAME MR BANKER?

BANKER DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA TO STAY OUT OF THE HIGHLIGHT AND HAVE YOU BEEN SEEN ON TV ANY SHOW OR MOVEIE [IF SO WHAT ONE]?

What was your career before you started on DOND??

Hey Have you ever made a mistake in telling someone an amount but it was too late?
