Have you ever seen people you know on TV?

Yes, just watch the show "Cops". Many of my friends have all been on that show.

hi Bill, before i forget to ask u 'again' did your magpies win a few weeks back when u were talking about it on here. I kept meaning to ask & would forget & didn't hear anything about it on tv. I don't think i ever have seen anybody i know on tv.When my sons go to knoxville, tn. to see Tennessee vols play i always look for them or anybody from here but have never sen them. I have seen people i know on the local news like the mayor, police chief etc. but noone exciting like my kids.

Oh yes, I have a sister who is a tv news presenter and when I watched the 8.00 o'clock news, I look at her as if I am looking at myself as we do look alike especially with our family trademark of our big eyes. The only difference is she is much younger than me. .

Years and years ago, my biological fatehr was on television for a commercial that had to do with the business he works for. I only saw it once or twice, but it was I also know a few business owners here, where I live now, and hace seen a couple of them on television doing their commercials.

That's a great story, love it! Have you ever heard of Lily Savage? It's a character played by Paul O'Grady and he/she is extremely funny. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_O%27Grady Anyway, Lily Savage played at the Layton Institute (a club) that's just round the corner from where I used to live with my parents. Well, on this particular night, it was televised! Thankfully, I didn't see myself on telly (it was recorded so we could watch it at a later date) but I DID see my Dad, smiling away! I've been to a few televised events, such as footy matches involving Carlisle United but I've not seen myself on those either..could see John though with his red hair, not hard to spot at the best of times.

Yeah, actually! I was watching the news and my best friends mom (who I call mom too) was on the TV for a make up thing. It was so funny! She's extremely beautiful so I am sure that's why they asked her ;)

A restaurant I worked in once was featured in a travel show,and I could see myself working away in the background when it aired...and a Girl I worked with was runner up in a TV Talent school show..

I was on Sevens Super Saturday back in 1985 with Jill, Agro & Boris...I don't remember if any of my friends saw me but my mum did tape it so I could watch it & I still have the tape which I can show my daughter mummy on tv when mummy was a little girl I was lucky enough to be one of the kids that comteted in the obstacle course out the back of the studio!

I was on the evening news once! When the presenter announced how well the New Year celebrations had gone the night before there I was with my friend bedside me appearing behind the newsreader’s head! They filmed us dancing for what seemed to be a really long time. That was my ten minutes of fame…(Sigh..)

I went on a chat show once, wish I hadnt but apparently we needed too... Very long story... and my friend sent me a text when it was aired to say I saw you on TV. I was so embarressed I hoped noone would see it but thats wishful thinking I guess lol. I have seen somebosy I know on TV twice, but we dont get along nymore so I didnt let her know I had seen it... It is a strange experience.

yes,i have seen people i know appear in tv. it was my sister,who once had been an audience to one of the noon time shows,philippines has. she had a classmate who is niece of one of the noontime show hosts there that's why they grabbed the opportunity to watch the show for free. it was nice to see that my sister has been to that show,eventhough she was not most of the time seen to it,it just feels good. i also have some relatives who have this habit of joining contests on such noontime shows.they have been luckily picked as contestants,though they are not that lucky to be in the jackpot rounds. i myself have been seen on tv,it's just that i haven't seen the said program. well,it was a news actually,and that time i am in the public office,just happened to have a chance to be seen in the camera,though i haven't watched it myself.too bad... oh,i remember i had this topic same as yours back 5 months ago... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2322320.aspx i had fun with some mylotters who answered back then...

I haven't been on TV myself, but I saw my neighbour's daughter also used to be my work mate playing her little part in a drama as a nurse. I found it really funny and I laughed at her at work the next day, because she was only 18, but she was acting like a mature nurse in a hospital, really funny. We have a big TV at work, and whenever the next episode of the drama plays that was showing the hospital episode, we will all scream "Nadia!!!!". I remember how she struggled to get the TV turned off that time.

Yes, I've been on national TV! How long ago were you on, Bill & for how long, which channel, what show? Remember McLeod's Daughters drama series? I played an Anglican Minister in a flashback from the late 1800's. This was a few years ago... 2006, I think. I have it on video as well. I didn't have a speaking part, but it payed well... about $300 for a few hours "work"! I ended up being on for about 30 seconds, but hey! Met all the actors; they were all good people. Had to take a day off work, but "oh well"!

I have seen my long lost playmate in a TV commercial. And back then, he was already so famous being a local fresh actor. That was so fast!

I used to watch this local kids show. When I was in the 6th grade, we switched schools and two of my new classmates turned out to be cast members.

I think its great to see family and friends on television. Several people have been on game shows and 1 is an actresses that use to live near us. I tried to get on a game show, but didn't get picked.

I have a schoolmate and he's pretty much on TV since he's kind of famous now. He's a basketball player and he's good at it and every time their team plays, they air it on TV. We're not really friends but I am very proud of him. It's a nice feeling also that you get to see someone you know being famous because they're good at something. You feel happy and you just want to tell your friends, hey, I know that guy.

Yes, I did see a scientist on the local news a few years back. I had met him just the week before and he was classmates with my mother when they were in school. It was pretty funny to see someone like that knew my mother for years before, and I had only just met him.

no never i think its cause i don't watch news but my father told me one of my aunts was in a movie as an extra seeing that it was shot on the island i was born.

I think i would never appear on TV. Im kinda shy and i always run from cameras when i see it, and not only for TV, but even for a silly newspaper interview. I guess I just dont like to be in evidence. But I like to see people i know on TV, especially when its completly unexpected. My counsins love surfing and once there was this National Tournament happening in a city in Rio de Janeiro. There were this journalist interviewing a few surfers on the beach about the big tournament and one of them were my cousin! When i saw her i thought "wow what a small world!" hahahah
