Murt's Green Room

Murt Moriarty, head of guest relations, on the phone
Murt, stamping paperworkYou want ON the show? Smart. Everybody smart wants on the show. The process is rigorous: you apply, I run a full background check consisting of one Google search, and if the kid likes your story, you're in the green room by Friday.
ConfidentiallyThe green room is a corridor. But it's a GREAT corridor.

Live from guest relations

Your application, moments after arrival. The stamp means he likes you.

What happens next

One: you apply below. Two: Murt loses the application, then finds it, this is part of the process. Three: Vinny reads your story and comes back within a few days. Four: you get a recording slot, prep notes, and directions to the corridor.

The background check, live. Rigour.

The application

Security is handled by Murt, who will ask for ID and then compliment your headshot.
