I’d totally be willing to get paid to be doofus on a reality show. Whatever they want, good pay, short hours, play it right to score big early, and then right when the ratings start to lag to write your “tell all” book and retire with the fat bank.

I'm a doofus in real life, so no rehearsals would be needed. Look at Chumley on Pawn Stars who is now a multi-millionaire. BTW, IIRC, he was already a part-owner of the store, but making him a menial worked better for the show's premise.
