Have you ever known someone on TV?

hmm.. let's see, have i ever know anyone on TV? I don't think I have, but there is this girl, that used to live here, that I knew about, but didn't really know her, and she became Miss Srilanka last year. Myself, I've never really been on TV, but I have been on a game show on TV several times, I was a caller on a local show "call in, call out" and each time I won like 300$, that was great. By the way, I loved that show "rockstar:supernova", I did like Lucas Rossi who ended up winning, but my personal favorite was Toby Rand. I don't really remember Phil, but I do remember that everyone who was on that show was so good and they were all way better than any of the contestants on the more popular American Idol. Personally, I would prefer Rockstar over American Idol any day.

I didn't know you rubbed elbows with celebrities!:P That's pretty cool that you have known people to be on tv. The only people I've ever known on tv were big on cable access. Oi. I have a cousin that goes to church with a guy that does incredibly annoying car commercials. I was in video production in high school for a semester, but I was always to shy to do the morning announcements. We used to do all these really cheesy skits and one was accidentally broadcast and I was humiliated because my friend and I had made a music video about Y2K to the tune of the Monkees theme song. It was really terrible. She busted out a verse like Aretha Franklin too. Soul Sista.:P

We know an actor in a Canadian show (now cancelled)called North Of Sixty! He is called DJ or Dakota House! He was our neighbor and he grew up with our kids! He has also been in a couple of canadian made tv shows and a guest actor on the x-files! He is a good young man and still stays in touch with our family! Take care Raychill.

My sister dated one of the local news guys back home for a while. Another one brought his boys to me for haircuts. So I got to know both of them pretty well. I also cut Jamie McMurray's (the Nascar driver)hair once. I was really nervous about cutting it, and I hardly talked to him at all, but he was super nice. It was back when he was a rookie and he thought it was funny that I was so nervous. :) I also dated a guy who worked for the governor of my home state a few years ago. He was in a couple of the commercials. lol Of course they never showed anywhere else...But no one else would know my news guys either. Oh! One of my friends in like sixth grade had a little sister that was in a McDonald's commercial. I remember her family inviting a bunch of us over the first time it aired. lol

No, not that I am aware of. Though it could be possible that I have gone to school with someone that is famous now. I haven't kept in contact with most of my classmates and old friends so who knows? :P LOL Wait, now that I think about it, my uncle was on TV once. He and his wife were on Rescue 911 (I believe that's the show he was on...it was some years ago, after all). I had been visiting one of my other family members and while he was there he mentioned that he had been on the show and had the tape with him so all of us watched it together. That's about as close as I'll ever get to knowing a famous person. So does it count? LOL

My aunt was a model and an actress. She lived with us throughout my growing up and was more like a big sister than an aunt to me. It was not unusual for different actors to stop by our house on the holidays. She never made it big herself but she did have the opportunity to meet and get to know personally some well known people. One that I remember most is the butler off the jeffersons as he was well known by many. Others were just bit parts in soap operas and a couple of writers. Celebrity people are just people. I met metalica ...they came in to where i was working and got chatting with them and forgot to get an autograph.

I had a friend to go on the Maury Show before.My child's father best friends is on a commercial for an insurance agency.Thats about it oh and i know somebody that was on People's COurt.

Hello raychill!(",) Wow, so many cool stories out here, too bad I have nothing to brag about. I did enjoy the responses of other mylot members. I have no personal connection with anyone in the entertainment industry. I just would like to share that I had been on tv once for a local news in our place when I was in high school. The reported did an interview with the students on what we are going to take up in college. It was only for a few minutes but when it was shown, i was not able to watch it but my parents do ( a little embarassing). Great day!(",)

I was on Maury Povich back in 2001. Yes I was one of the mothers proving to the child's father that the child was his. It was actually a funny situation looking back on it. The father had been listening to "he said, she said" stories from a person that I thought was a friend, and didn't believe that the baby was his. I, unlike a lot of the females that go on there, knew that the baby was his because I hadn't been with anyone else. He kept making random comments about that not being his son, and finally I got fed up. I told him "If you say that one more time, I'm gonna call Maury on you." He replied "Go ahead, call him, I don't care!" So that is just what I did. I ran down the story to them, and they, in turn, called him to get his side of things. After talking to them, he came back to me, saying "I didn't know you was gonna call them for real!" Don't play with me, I will leave you holding the bag. Anyways, they took us to a DNA testing center in our area (Do not let them make you believe that they do all the testing there, they don't!) and a week later we went to New York. They came and got us from the house, took us to the airport, and they paid for everything, hotel and all. They even gave us spending money, which I saved by only eating at McDonalds lol. The day after we got up there was the show. I was kinda nervous, but not really, because I am used to showing out. The other girls there were anxious to get started, as was I. They did my hair and makeup, and gave me a cool outfit to wear. I am so mad that I couldn't keep the leather pants!!! The producers kept peeping in on us to make sure we were well accomodated, but we were getting anxious. Finally, I asked one of the producers who would be going on first. She said "Well, it doesn't really matter who goes first because we tape the show in clips, and you might not even get aired the same day, but Kenya (thats me) you're going first." and she took me out to the stage. I felt so important!!!When you get out on Maury's stage, you realize that its not as big as it looks on TV. Maury is a kind person, and a very good listener. He asked me a few key questions, and listened very close to my answer. He finally called the father out, and we both clowned. He wanted to say that I was a "Ho", but I quickly busted him out of that one when I said that I didn't even get with him until after I had known him for 4 1/2 years. We were doing a two part show, so after we talked for a while, we went into the back and changed clothes (Again, don't let tv fool you. They say its 24hrs later, but its more like 20mins!) After coming back out, we rehashed what was said the "day before" and Maury brought out the results. A quick fear passed through me before he read them, but I don't know why, I know who I had been with. Of course, he was found to be the father of my son. I jumped on him and said a couple of catch phrases to let the world know that he was salty. I think we were one of the favorite shows, because they kept airing that same show for about 2 months once it came on TV (If you watch Maury, its the story about Kenya and Marcus) I had a lot of fun.

well the only thing i can think of was when i was younger i was a cheer leader and we made it to the championship,and we got to fly to georgia to the competition and it was aired on t.v. and the newspaper people were there and i was in the newspaper too,and i still have that clipping saved away in a photo album.it was really neat.also my nephew playes football for easton pa and they were on t.v. for their championship game,it was pretty cool to see how well my nephew did and to see him on t.v.. my uncle also played in the group the impressions years ago and he was the lead singer.they had a hit song called one nite,so that was really neat too.take care.

Yes I know the last contestant that won survivor(FIJI)' Earl Cole. He is a cousin of mine. Won the million dollars. When he came back to Kansas City he hosted a big block party @ the race track for the entire city of Kansas City Kansas and Kansas City Missouri. It is strange to really know someone one a reality show and actually come out the winner.
