In high school, I was on public tv a few times when I was a member of our school's "Scholar's Bowl" team.
During college I was interviewed by a local tv station because I was involved in a lawsuit (my Dad and I sued a group of people).
A few years ago I was in Palm Springs, CA for New Years Eve. My wife and I were eating dinner at a club (Atlas), and a local tv crew decided that we looked pretty nice. With our permission they set up a camera on our table. All night when their station needed a shot of New Years festivities, they showed us.
A few nights later, we saw the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The opening crowd shot was of us, and throughout the show you could easily pick us out of the audience.
