ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome opportunity!! Does a high school t.v. show production count? Probably not! This would be so much fun to win!!
ReplyDeleteI have. When I was in maybe 5th grade, I won a city-wide, fire-safety contest. One of my prizes was to come out on tv on a little 30-sec type show that came on in between shows. That was my 15 minutes of fame. lol
ReplyDeleteDoes Admiral Jack at age 4 count??? Showing my age..Ooops!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a part of Cupcake Wars!!!! Imagine....sigh.... <3
I saw Regis & Kelly once!
ReplyDeleteI've been on Bozo the Clown!

ReplyDeleteI was an extra in the PBS show Cyberchase!
ReplyDeleteNever been on a tv show, but my wife LOVES this show and she wants to go :D
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW! Would so love to win! This would be a total dream come true for my daughter! She is the show's #1 fan and would so love to meet Candace Nelson! We started our cupcake company, Christal's Cupcakes, a year ago and they actually called us! We were so excited and sent in an audition tape! Just to be on the set would be amazing~ quite the 1 year anniversary gift for our cupcakes! Fingers crossed!

ReplyDeleteNo, I have not been on a show before. I think it would be so cool to see how it all works, especially on such an awesome show!
ReplyDeleteI have been on the set of American Idol. It was cool, but strict. This would be much more fun - Idol didn't have cupcakes to taste!
ReplyDeleteLove cupcakes. Have always thought tasting the cupcakes sounded much more fun. :) Here's to hoping!
ReplyDeleteIt would be so cool to win - I'm always amazed at the cool looking and tasting cupcakes they turn out on Cupcake Wars. :)
ReplyDeleteI was on the set of a silly high school tv show. It was just a talk show. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! I so want to win! This is my all time favorite show!
ReplyDeleteI have never been on the set of a show but I would loooove to be on this one!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a the set of a TV show :C

Only if you count local access TV when I was in 2nd grade!
ReplyDeleteNo I have not been on a TV show but going to cupcake wars would be pretty great!
ReplyDeleteNo but I sure would love too! Gameshows or any of the food network shows!
ReplyDeleteNope never been on a show but would love to!
ReplyDeleteI took a tour at NBC Studios in NYC. We walked through the sets of some sports show, the Dr. Oz show and SNL. The SNL set was SO cool to see. It's much smaller than it seems on TV!
ReplyDeleteNever been on a show but love cupcake wars!
ReplyDeleteNope, i haven't been lucky enough to be on a tv show set before.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on a show before.
ReplyDeleteBeen on a comedy show in my country!!! Though it was a long time ago...
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on one. I agree with you, I am setting up a mobile cupcake kitchen and people ask me if I would go on the show. Personally one of the biggest things that irritates me when I watch is the loose hair and the face touching while baking. I wonder if the judges ever pull a hair out of an otherwise perfect cupcake?
ReplyDeleteI haven't but I would love to!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to do this! Crossing my fingers
ReplyDeleteWe love cupcake wars! We record it so that we don't miss an episode!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a TV show but would LOVE the opportunity!
ReplyDeletethe closest thing to being on a set of a tv show would be my production class in high school where we produced the school news show
ReplyDeleteI went to the set of a local show when I was in elementary school. I don't remember much, other than that we had to be very quiet. This, however, is exceedingly exciting for me! I absolutely love Cupcake Wars... and my cousin and her sister-in-law (her sil was the actual baker, she was the assistant) took first place in an episode that aired at the beginning of January. I would LOVE to win this!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on the set of a TV show although my husband and son have been. My son was on Jeopardy once.
ReplyDeleteIve never been on a TV set, but I'd love the chance to explore one!
ReplyDeleteI was in a commercial as a child, but that's it! I wanna go!
ReplyDeletelove the show
ReplyDeleteI've been on the set of a local TV show production. It was really neat to see what goes on behind the scene! I would LOVE to see Cupcake Wars action from behind the stage.
ReplyDeleteI was on the Leno show once. Even got some face time because I was the only person clapping/laughing in response to one comment. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteNo but I would love to!
ReplyDeleteI've been to Late Night with Craig Ferguson! He's amazing live!
ReplyDeleteI was on the set of Paula Deen's "Paula Parties" and they had a surprise show of Throwdown with Bobby Flay and Paula against each other. It was a lifetime dream come true. Kim S.

ReplyDeleteI have never been to the set of a TV show. My mom and I were just saying we would love to have a backstage view of Cupcake Wars a few days ago, so this would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI have never been on a real television set before. I watch Cupcake Wars every Sunday night to see the wild recipes they come up with! I've actually learned a lot of tricks from watching it! I'd love to see the action live!!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on the set of a television show but would love to, especially cupcake wars. I watch every week! And I am my work's cupcake queen! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never been on the set of a TV show but if I ever have the opportunity it would definitely have to be a fun baking show like Cupcake Wars, Cake Boss, etc!
ReplyDeleteThe closest I've ever come is a school field trip 30 years ago to the set of the local TV news station.
ReplyDeleteNope, never, unless you count in middle school when I was a "news anchor" ;) This would be such a treat!
ReplyDeleteI'm saving my TV set debut for the best show ever... Cupcake Wars! I have looked onto the set for Batman Begins in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI had the privilege to be in the control booth during a live broadcast of This Week, broadcast from the Newseum in D.C. It was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteBut to see a taping of Cupcake Wars? How fun would that be?
I've never been on the set of a TV show, but maybe I've just been holding out for the right one! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a HUGE fan of your site and a HUGE fan of Cupcake Wars! This would be a dream!

ReplyDeleteI've been on the set of Regis and Kathy Lee (umm, when it was still Regis and Kathy Lee), I also went to see a taping of Jimmy Fallon ... In terms of being backstage, no (although, once I helped out on the 'set' of a food network live tour, that was cool).

ReplyDeleteI've been on our local news once while I was in high school. They did Friday spirit days for local high schools and our cheerleading squad went and performed. I was the captain so I had to do an interview.
ReplyDeleteI got to be on set for a news broadcast for our local station. It was a very fun experience!
ReplyDeleteI went to a broadcast of the Arsenio Hall show...Yup, I'm old. :)
ReplyDeleteI was on the set of The Robin Swoboda show when Dixie Longate (the Tupperware lady) was there. The funniest guy in a dress!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on set of a show, but I think it would be so much fun! Especially to be on set of a CUPCAKE show!
ReplyDeleteAs a really little kid, I was on the set of the show Ramblin' Rod. That was such a long time ago!

ReplyDeletethanks for the chance,

I went to a music awards show taping once. It amazed me how much editing can really do for a show. Now, backstage on Cupcake Wars? That would be a dream come true! Hello Justin, Candace, and Florian!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to be on the show but with my luck I'd get stuck with seaweed and hot dogs for the mandatory ingredients. So, since I could never pull that off, I'll stick with a chance to be a backstage judge-wannabe. Hope I win!!! How absolutely fun could that be!
ReplyDeleteOops sorry, forgot to say I've NEVER been on ANY show, guest or audience. So way cool chance to be on one I would adore.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a TV show set or game show. Since cupakes are near and dear to my heart, I would be in hog heaven to win tickets to this show. It is one of my all time favorites, and I think being part of the energy and creative chaos would be a life highlight to which I would refer often!
ReplyDeleteI love cupcakes and Cupcake Wars! THis would be so much fun! THanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a tv set before, so I think Cupcake Wars would be a great set for my first visit ever!
ReplyDeleteI love cupcake wars!!! I've been on 106th and Park's TV set!
ReplyDeleteI have never been on the set of a TV show such as this but I have been to a TV News Studio before. I studied Television Production in College but haven't worked at a TV Station yet as I am busy being Mommy now. :) I would love to be able to go to cupcake wars though!!
ReplyDeleteI have never been on set for a TV show but have been behind the scenes for a live Broadway show. My sister was in Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat production...it was incredible to see all those people and feel the electricity in the air.
ReplyDeleteI was on the set of TRL way back in the day!
ReplyDeleteI have never been on a tv set, but being on the set of Cupcake Wars (my FAVORITE show) would be a dream!!
ReplyDeleteNope - I've never been in the set of any TV show!

ReplyDeleteI saw Conan's late night show being taped. It was pretty cool.

ReplyDeleteA.G.E.S. ago I was on the set of Pinky Lee in (probably - I was too young to know) Burbank, CA. I've also been to tapings of the Johnny Carson Show (also ages ago). I worked at 20th Century Fox in Beverly Hills, and witnessed MANY tapings for The Six Million Dollar Man, After Mash, and Moonlighting (with Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis). However, we currently live where we don't even get TV reception, so I have never even seen Cupcake Wars. I'd sure like to win, though, to see what I've been missing! :-)
ReplyDeleteI took a tour of the nbc studios when I was in New York a few years ago but would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go to Cupcake Wars!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win!

ReplyDeleteNope, this would be my first! I AM IN IT TO WINE IT!
ReplyDelete*WIN

I have never been to see a tv show being filmed in person. I think it would be so exciting!
ReplyDeleteNever been on the set but it sounds like a blast! My good friend's husband is friends with Kyra (Crave Bake Shop, on Cupcake Wars 3 times) so I got to meet her at their wedding as well as hang out with her at my friend's bachelorette party. She's awesome!

ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you, I'm no professional and could possibly crumble under that kind of pressure, but judge some cupcakes?! Sign Me UP!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on the set of a tv show. I did however get to go to a party at the then Warner Brothers studio for a One Tree Hill party & we were shown on tv.
