BOISE -- More than a hundred people turned out in Boise for a chance to appear on televisions newest reality show.

Dallas Mavericks owner and Internet billionaire Mark Cuban is looking for 15 contestants for his new show, The Benefactor. But he isn't telling anyone what they'll have to do to have a shot at the million dollars the winner would get.

That still didn't deter people from showing up at a Boise motel to make their pitch for a spot on the show this weekend.

Twenty-nine-year-old Louis Plunkett of Boise says he went just for the cash.

Hopefuls simply looked into a camera and explained why they should get the money.

Casting Director Scott Wissner says he's looking for people with outgoing personalities and points of view. No schedule for the show has been announced.

Casting calls were also held in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, and Las Vegas.
