By Jennifer van der Kleut (Patch Staff)

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- Basketball legend Lebron James has landed himself a gig as executive producer of a new NBC gameshow, and people will get the chance to attend one of four different casting calls coming up soon in Virginia and Maryland.

"The Wall" is described as a cross between Plinko and "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," where teams of two answer trivia questions for a chance to win money--up to $12 million, in fact.

Casting calls for "The Wall" will take place in spots around the D.C. Metro area on Sept. 1, 2, 3 and 5 as follows:

• Thursday, Sept. 1, 3-7 p.m.: Alfred Street Baptist Church, 301 S. Alfred St., Old Town Alexandria

• Friday, Sept. 2, 3-7 p.m.: Mount Ennon Baptist Church, 9832 Piscataway Road, Clinton, Maryland

• Saturday, Sept. 3, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.: First Baptist Church of Glenarden, 600 Watkins Park Dr., Upper Marlboro, Maryland

• Monday, Sept. 5 (Labor Day), 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.:The Maryland State Fair, 2200 York Road, Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland

Those interested in attending a casting call can sign up online.
