The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale may get particularly crazy on April 26 and 27, when "Jersey Shore" casting people arrive looking for potential new housemates for MTV's hit reality show.

Doron Ofir Casting, which populates the show for 495 Productions, says on its Web site it will be "seeking the proudest, loudest, and wildest to carry on the legacy. . . . No haters allowed."

Any new roommates chosen would be for the latter part of season two, which premieres July 29 with the Jersey Shore gang on South Miami Beach.

"The Crazy Donkey was one of the places who helped us the first time around, which is why we went back now," Doron Ofir, who grew up in Great Neck, tells Newsday. "These on-site meet-and-greets are the cornerstone of casting for unscripted television." Applications are also taken online at jerseyshorecasting.com.

Ofir and his team will be at the club starting at noon to see auditioners, leading into a party, beginning at 7 p.m. both days, with music by DJ Click Da Cosigner as part of The Crazy Donkey's "Club Loaded." The casting people will be looking for, as the site says, "tanned and toned fist pumper[s]" with "killer shades, awesome hair, bandannas and bling," who are "at least 21 and appear to be younger than 30."

Among the other requirements, applicants must "dominate the gym, tear up the dance floor and rule the bedroom" - and, as the casting site says, "prove it," which should make for interesting audition tapes.

"We want that person in a nightclub who attracts all the attention, who is louder than life," Ofir says, "and that person is most likely not trying to seek a reality show to be on. So I send [my recruiter] Josh Allouche, who has the greatest eye on Earth and he'll be able to literally walk up to that guy who all the girls want and all the guys admire and want to be, and ask, 'Are you interested?' "

He might also be informally scouting for his next, as yet unannounced show.

"We're about to launch the concept of, 'What if Snooki got married?' " Ofir says, referring to a Snooki-type and not actually "Jersey Shore" housemate Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. "I'm looking for really large, fun Italian, Jewish families who are having a wedding this summer on Long Island. I'm looking for people who are already getting married, already in love. We're starting to cast that on Monday all over Long Island, New York City and New Jersey."
