Ok, how many of you have ever been on TV? Got interviewed on the news? Been the topic of a local feature? Been in the audience at a Bozo show?

I can think of two times - once at Beatlefest about a dozen years ago and once yesterday! A local Beatles trib band did a TV taping last week and invited me to be in the audience. When the show aired yesterday, the tall people in front of me obscured me for the most part, but every once in a while you can see me there clapping or smiling that fake "I know I might be on TV" smile. Pretty funny. Oh, and the band was good too. (in case any of them or their fans are lurking about...) http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

I've never been on TV, but I did appear on the front cover of a local newspaper when an important politician came to our school because we were applying for a 'sixth-form'. The local news groups were there and one photographer asked whether someone could have their picture taken with her, and I immediately said me. I'll dig out the clipping, scan it, and post it here if I can.

I have to warn you though, In one I look very simple-minded, and in the other I look like I'm crying! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

I've been on several commercials doing a bit of modeling for local clothing stores and such.

Also, my hubby is a huge fan of wrestling (Monday Nitro).... and whenever the wrestling federation comes to our area, we are always in the front row. We always end up in the really close up shots on National tv... it's hysterical!

Hey Rellevart - I saw you on that show yesterday!

Okay, so my claim to fame is being on Bozo's circus when I was 10. No, I didn't get picked to play a game or anything, but waved like crazy from the audience. My dad was at work but didn't want to miss it, so he took a small b&w tv to work so he could watch the show on his lunch hour! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

I've been on TV. When I was 11, I got to be on the Bozo Show. I was picked to play a few games (although not the Bozo Bucket one). I didn't win at any of the games, but I got some neat prizes (well, I thought they were neat at the time!) http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif I've been in the paper a few times, too.

I'm sure I've mentioned before, so I won't bore anyone with details... a number of times I was both on TV and in the newspaper, last year I was chosen to promote my university across all of Asia so I got to be on TV for that, which was fun.

I'm also tempted to send a video entry in for our new 'Australian Survivor' that's coming up... but I could hardly spend 43 mins away from here let alone 43 days. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

I've been on the TV three times.

1) In 1998, I was on the Tennessee State Geography Bee. I placed 4th.

2) That very night, I was on the Channel Five News (CBS), because they interviewed me for the above.

3) In 1999, I was on the Geography Bee again, this time winning 2nd.

Hmmm...I was on TV when I was 9, on a local NY kids' show called Wonderama. Kinda like the NYC version of Bozo, I guess!

And (this is actually Beatles-related, but...) I was on the front page of the Long Island newspaper, Newsday, the day after the vigil for John -- I was at school on LI and couldn't get to the city, so I went with a friend to a gathering they were having at a park near our college, and our photo ended up on the front page of the paper. Personally, I'd rather there'd never been a reason for THAT photo...

I've been in a movie http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif I was an extra in a crappy movie called Why Do Fools Fall In Love. I'm in a concert scene, but it's dark so you can't see anything http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif

I've been on cable access for two or three concerts and a discussion board. I haven't been on anything else besides the nightly news once and it was a picture of my back walking into school.

Hey... I was on TV this very same year, in January... I appeared in all the local channels, and also in the newspapers because I proudly obtained the maximum score on the Admission Test for the Chilean Universities (PAA) http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/yeah.gif They only put my image, though, they interviewed me but they cut that part when the report was on that night's news.

I still wonder why... http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/confused.gif
