Choosing The Cast
When Jersey Shore producers were looking for cast members for the show, they looked all over the tri-state area in order to find the right group. Eventually, they were able to narrow it down to just 12 people. From there, they selected only 8. However, they were only able to narrow it down to the 8 the day before they began filming. Wow, what timing!

Snooki’s Audition
One casting director recalled that when Snooki auditioned, she had so much bronzer on that “when she filled out the release, it was covered in orange fingerprints.” Sounds like Snooki! After her audition, she was immediately a favorite among the Jersey Shore casting crew. It was her dominant personality that changed the direction of the show and got them to have both males and females on the show.
