Getting Paid to Watch TV

/in , , /by

Several times each year we receive requests for live studio audience members for brand new television series. It doesn’t take any particular skill, just availability. It can be great fun but usually you are prevented from telling people about the show before it goes to air. It really is that simple to get paid while watching TV. Just last week we sent a ton of people to be paid audience members for a new ABC production.

MCTV Extras working on Here Come The Habibs

/in , /by

Here Come the Habib’s is coming soon. This month MCTV extras will be working on this new situation comedy about a family who moved first from Lebanon to Australia and then from Lakemba to Vaucluse. It’s by the same guys behind The Moodys so it should be a good laugh.

MCTV talent have worked on just about every TV series that is produced in Sydney. As you can imagine, there are a good variety of people required for these productions and yet there’s no experience required. We are always looking for people from a range of ethnic backgrounds, ages and a variety of looks to suit productions such as this.

It’s a second migration for the Habib family, first it was Lebanon to Australia, now Lakemba to Vaucluse. But not everyone is happy to see them, and soon the Habibs find themselves in conflict with their new next door neighbours.
