Currently titled America's Funniest Pets, the show is billed as "a hilarious new pet variety show from a major kids network!" that aims to put "you and your pet center stage"!
Whilst its currently unconfirmed that America's Funniest Pets is being made for Nickelodeon, there are a lot of suggestions from the casting call that suggests that it will be a Nickelodeon show.
In addition to the aforementioned "from a major kids network", the audition post for reveals that America's Funniest Pets is being produced by Fremantle, who have previously teamed up with Nickelodeon for the network's Double Dare revival. The production company also produces America's Got Talent.
While simply mentioning that America's Funniest Pets is "from the producers of of Double Dare and America's Got Talent" confirms that the show is for Nick, there is another clue that it is a Nick show: the format. Unveiled last year, a big part of Nickelodeon's new content output is programming that focuses on co-viewing amongst kids and parents, which has included the reimagined Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, musical reality competition series America's Most Musical Family and revival of the network's iconic All That sketch series, and upcoming new British family game show The Crystal Maze, premiering Friday, January 24, at 7:00 p.m. on Nickelodeon USA.
One final clue that America's Funniest Pets will be a Nickelodeon show is that MysticArt Pictures is handling casting for the series. MysticArt Pictures previously produced Paradise Run for Nickelodeon.
America's Funniest Pets is currently being shot in Los Angeles, California, and is slated to wrap in February 2020.
