Have you ever been on TV?

[sunberst]

Why not beat the dead horse (or whatever that phrase is).

[badunnin]

I was in a commercial in high school, the Thanksgiving Day parade several times, and I was on TV last April on ESPN.

[tamawrite]

The local news station did a spot on my mom's club (Ladies Workout Express, which is similar to Curves) and I was in most of the shots. Didn't have to talk, though.

[boisewinesnob]

Since you included movie in the first choice, that is what I voted, although I was just an extra. You can see me, even if only for a second or two and I'm in a crowd

[Melman]

When I was a kid, I was on a local kids show, "Monty's Rascals". I remember my mom bought a new dress for me to wear and that I was likely just shuffled through with the masses.

I also was on a talk show done by my college...along the lines of 'what's going on around campus.' It was a half-hour show and I was the guest. DEFINITELY a channel nobody watches even though it is in our cable offerings.

[slknight]

Yep. I was on ESPN. Was also on during half-time of a Carolina basketball game as the ACC Student-Athlete of the Week.

[wallycat]

not that I know of

I did shoot a video for a major company on how to use an MRI scanner...but only people buying the unit would probably get the video with me in it

[Angelina]

Hmm...let's see. I was about 11 or 12 and I was a ballet dancer in "Sleeping Beauty", which was televised but only in our region in Italy, on a channel nobody could really see because the reception was so bad. AND I had my own radio show, where I would read fairy tales to children. It was actually me and 2 friends of mine, and we were about 8 or 9. I was the only one who could read though. This one was not even in the whole region, but just in our tiny little town. My own mother couldn't find that radio station...

[HRJ]

Yes -- on a "channel nobody watches."

When I was a newspaper reporter in New Jersey, I was once on this "public affairs" show produced by the local cable company. I sat with two other reporters and we asked questions of two guys who were running for the Township Committee. Doesn't get more boring than that.

[Cookin4Love]

Twice. I was on the Today show once, with a Madagascar hissing cockroach climbing up my arm during an entymology segment, with my kids cheering me on. I was also on a local talk show about adoption when I was 17.

[sneezles]

Two times both of which were local news casts. The first one was while I was a board member of our local YMCA and during a fundraiser it was my job to protect the Astros mascot from enthusiastic fans (poor guys can't see anything in those costumes) during the local news coverage you could see me watching his back! And the second time was at one of DS#2's basketball games...I was a rootin' the team to victory and that's much better than when I call the ref a blankety-blank!(honey, if you didn't see me you certainly heard me!)

[MKSquared]

Quite a few times. In high school, I was president of our radio/TV program, so I got to anchor a few newscasts. I also appeared on the high school Academic Challenge show. (Um, can you just imagine how popular I was in HS? ) I guess I've been on a JumboTron too - singing at a 4thof July thing with the Cleveland Orchestra - my face was up on a huge screen in front of the crowd there. *shrug*

[JHolcomb]

The news channels send crews out to our digs, so yes, I've been on the local news. Always covered in red mud.

[fudi2000]

I did star in the a film called "The Polish Wedding". The cast included Gabriel Byrne, Lena Olin, and myself, of course playing a crucial role as "Polish girl #32". What can I say? It's a gift.
During college I was on a Public Access show (ala SNL). I was the girl with the talent. Hardee har har. I guess I'm also going to be in the Ann Arbor MI Film Festival or something. And currently DH and I are working on a film as well. Plus local stuff, yadda yadda yadda.
So please, no autographs.

[Loremma]

I've been on TV twice, but only in crowd shots. I was an audience member on The Price Is Right (don't blink or you'll miss me) and I've been to about 5 tapings of TV shows so you can hear me laugh in the background.

Oh my god, I loved that movie, and do you know why?? The sheer acting talent and on-screen emotion and charisma of Polish girl #32. She just totally blew me away...

[MusicMom]

Yes, but only on a local news program Actually you could only see my legs. The camera was aimed at DD who stood in front of me. We were at a community multi-denominational service after September 11.

[lindrusso]

Not me but my Dad has been on a NOVA special called "Cracking the Ice Age".

[SueK]

I haven't been, but my DH was featured in a commercial for our local United Way. People would say to him "I saw you on TV!" and I would crack up, telling him he was going to get a big head.

[claire797]

I used to work on a late night TV show, but it got cancelled after about 3 months and everyone got fired. At that point, I decided TV wasn't for me and headed back into the world of 9-5. It sure was fun, though!

[jphilg]

I was a member of a panel discussion about wrongful convictions on PBS once. The funny thing is that I misunderstood the invitation, and I thought I was appearing on a radio program. So I just sort of wore...whatever. And my "whatever" is generally black, and the studio was draped in black, and I am very pale, so my big TV debut was as a floating head.

They replayed that program over and over, but I think it has finally made it to the archives.

[lhall]

Once in College I was on the local news.

When I was a freshman at Ga Tech we had midnight madness each night of finals. We walked from the dorms across the North Avenue bridge to the Varsity and back. You could see me in the crowd leaving the varsity.

[HDgirl]

I haven't but DH= was on the news. They were doing a piece on this auction we attend and we happened to be there that night. He was bidding on something and ended up in it.

[gertdog]

On the local news a couple of times, for random things. I was interviewed about swimming lessons (I was a teacher) for a "start of summer" feature; my high school swim team made the news the year I was a captain and so I got to say something inane; in the county spelling bee in 8th grade; and more recently in Ithaca I was interviewed about the museum spaces I developed.

[Shirley Panek]

As a child, I was on Bozo's Circus twice - once the kid next to me got to do the Bozo Buckets. A local cable channel ran a couple one-act plays I was in, and I was an extra in a film major's thesis. I was also interviewed last October (2002) during the Washington Sniper scare when our school went on lock-down after reports of gunfire in the neighborhood.

[greysangel]

I guess I'm always looking for a spotlight

I was in the local news and paper (and Bethlehem) for being a survivor on the floor where a fire took place in a hotel in Bethlehem PA.

I was in the local news when my great great aunt and uncles' house burned down and her local church and family were building another for them from the ground up.


For about 3 years I was on tv singing for St Patrick's Cathedral Mass Broadcasts, Concerts ..ie midnight mass, the pope etc... Even interviewed and filmed on the today show for a concert we did at Rock Center! On 3 cd's as well (one one with a small solo).

and the latest discovery thing

When I was in college, the president of the college at that time was soon to be retiring and he and his wife were going into the peace corp to work in Kazikstan (I think that was it - it was a former Soviet Union country). Anyway, ABC national news had a segment at the time (not sure if they still do it) called "Person of the Week." The president also taught an english class, which I was in. Anyway, he was the person of the week once and ABC filmed the class I was in the frame.

So, I was on the ABC National News - albeit, just in the frame of view as the crew was filming.

Too cool! We actually used to watch that show, even though they rarely had teams from Lorain County. Our HS tried to get a team together a couple of times, but it never went anywhere.

Once, in high school, some friends and I went downtown Cleveland to do some Christmas shopping. We were crossing the street at the same time a local news station was taping for the weather segment.

[KristinK]

Ooh! Ooh! I wasn't, but DF was.

One of his good friends was on TLC's A Dating Story, and before the date, they filmed a couple of the guys playing basketball. They asked the friends for comments, and although I forget what DF said, I remember how embarrassed he looked!

The show was actually pretty amusing, because we know the guy and his sense of humor, but I think he comes across as an immature jerk. (Especially when the girl mentioned her tattoo, and our friend looked at the camera and winked.)

Oh, I think I might have seen this one! I have honestly only seen about 3 episodes of it, but I've definitely seen one (or two) that take place in Philly. It rings a bell.
