You ever watch a random game show when there’s nothing else on TV? Ever wonder how they get so many excited people to cheer on complete strangers? Well those people in the background are always smiling because they are getting paid.

Almost every live audience TV show pays its audience members anywhere between $8-10 dollars an hour per taping. Popular shows, however usually do not need to entice people with money, so don’t expect to get paid to watch “American Idol.” But, if you don’t mind watching eight hours of a show you’ve never heard of, then you definitely can get paid. This picture of T.I. was taken at a taping of “the Nightlife,” a new dance show on Teen Nick that is very similar to Soul Train.

Interested in watching live TV over the summer? Sign up for LA Casting, make a profile, and submit for audience works. It certainly beats working at Coldstone to make summer cash.
