If you have when and for what?

I'm not famous yet :( Never been on TV, though I was on a local paper when I was 10 or something.

Yes I did a bike trip with a group from my high school. We road from Toronto to Montreal. The local TV station came out to interview us when we arrived in Montreal.

Meh, Comedy Central "Commies" Awards... horrible experience and a terrible show, which is why they came around asking people to fill seats in the front. My friend Yesenia and I were moved to the front row, sitting in front of Eugene Levy. I guess we're in a few shots when they pan/scan the crowd, haven't seen it myself and don't plan to.

Oh, my mom signed me up to be on Sesame Street when I was 1 year old... they called me back when I was 7, and by then I guess I was too old or something... o_O

Yes...

We were on the local news this past weekend when we played in a 24-hour hockey tournament for charity. They shot some footage while we were on the ice.

Also when our roller hockey club team at school was helping to serve food at a benefit a few years back... we were standing behind the news reporter going nuts.

Too bad I never had a chance to see either on tv.

A local new station here in Portland came to Cornelius to report on something and they knocked on my freaking door at 6am one morning. I was in 5th grade. I brought some Gak to school that day and was playing with it in the playground when the recess monitor came up to me. She was this sweet older lady. She'd said that she saw me on the news that morning, standing there next to my mom answering questions half awake. :p

yes, it was on this show on fox around 8 o'clock on a saturday night. i was being chased by some of the cities finest, then thrown in the dirt, but they blurred my face out. talking about some 'protecting the innocent until proven guilty'-identities or something, screw that, i want my 15-minutes of fame!

:p

seriously, no... but my friend was on last weeks real world. they did a shot outside a downtown club here, and you can see him at the edge of the screen.

in high school i was on the "apple bowl" team, i was the alternate

it was a weekly quiz show on the local PBS channel for high school teams to compete in . they introduced our team/me at the start of the show


a friend of mine made a "movie" (must use the term very losely) in high school at the Vo-Tech he went to , i was in it. they showed it on the Vo-Tech TV channel (it was a shared channel with the local community college) that had a 10 Watt transmitter (something really weak, so only a small part of town could pick it up) and it might have been carried by the local cable company


so no, not really :roll:

Numerous times.

When I was in high school, I participated in "scholar's bowl", a quiz-show type thing for geeks that was televised from the University of Tennessee.

When I was in college, I was interviewed by a local station because I was involved in a lawsuit.

We saw the Leno show a couple of years ago. We can see ourselves in the audience on the tape.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I were at a club eating dinner on New Year's Eve in Palm Springs, California. Our table was on the patio, and a camera crew set up to shoot us the whole night. We were all decked out in our best clothes, so every time the tv station needed a "New Year's Eve" shot that night, they cut to our table. And it was all live.

Yes.

Once in an interview in Chinese at a Chinese TV station. And once shaking hands with some politician. :p

A few times, on local shows. I was on "Ramblin' Rod" (local kid's/cartoon show) when I was very young.
Also remember doing something in elementary school where we dressed up like famous/historic people and interviewed each other on public access TV (I went as Walt Disney).
Lastly, I was on a local quiz show called "High Five" a few times when I was in high school.
I think that's it, other than being part of the crowd at a sporting event or something. :p
