‘Meet My Folks’ wants OC participants

The producers of “Meet My Folks,” a reality dating show, are

looking for Orange County singles and their families to take part in

this NBC show. The show will hold a casting call Nov. 2 in Hollywood.

The show crams three bachelors, one woman and her mom and dad

together for a weekend. The parents choose the bachelor they like

best and the screening process ends with a lie detector test.

Prospective contestants should be between 18 and 30 years old and

single. The TV station asks people auditioning to bring a photo I.D.

or a family photo, if needed. The casting call will run from noon to

4 p.m. at Bldg. 35, Ste. 260, Sunset-Gower Studios, 1438 N. Gower

St., Hollywood.
