Yes, I was in a super short segment in the local nightly news [had to have been a slow news day!]

whenever the Peter Weller Naked Lunch movie came out, I was ?26ish

Camera dude and reporter were in the lobby of the theater when the movie ended and wanted a comment about it; the other person kept walking...

I said it was really strange and they ran it :lmao:

Yes, I was shown waiting a train in finnish tv when there was some kind of problem with the train system, and trains were delayed for several hours

Here's a picture proof, with a nice red circle pointing me out:

yeah, in the audience at wrestling, and i will be again soon. i get good tickets so i can be seen. next time im gonna bring a sign with the unabomber manifesto on it

oh also on the news a couple times - one time, i was in the background when a reporter-in-the-field came to my block when there was a microburst that knocked down a bunch of trees and poo poo, i grabbed a rake and ran over to pretend to rake up the yard behind the reporter. and the first time, when Magic cards were getting popular, I think must have been either 1994 or 1995, they came to my school, and interviewed some of the nerdy kids about it. We couldn't reach my parents to get their consent to show me on TV, so there's no clip of me, but the over-the-shoulder graphic was my hands holding some cards.

I have been on TV several times in my life for various things.

Once I lost a MMA fight on HDNet, not in spectacular fashion or anything...I just got wrestled on (bc my wrestling wasn't great) and lost by decision. I had good enough jiu jitsu to keep him from getting in positions to do any real damage and the whole fight was lame as hell to watch..I'm pretty sure there were boos in the crowd at points.

Also if I remember correctly I had eaten an entire box of fiber one bars earlier that day (post weight cut will do that do ya) and felt like I was going to poo poo myself the entire time

Does anyone even still watch tv? I'm in a popular retirement area so I think the people around here do. Anyway I'm supposed to be on a tv commercial and we're filming on Monday. I'm a little nervous about it. It will probably be fun once I get used to the cameras but I know I'm going to do or say something awkward at some point because I'm just like that. It'll be interesting to see how everyone else at work acts too.

The only other times I've been on TV it was when I was in college marching band (vols bitch) so I was part of a big group so it wasn't really me in particular. Plus they don't show as much of the band like they used to so it was just brief. Oh and one time you could see me in the audience on Conan. That was a really fun experience going to see that and my family saw me on tv which they were totally stoked about. But I wasn't part of the show or anything. This should be interesting.

On my 5th birthday me and my friends got to be on The Ramblin' Rod Show. I did not win the Smile Award.

Last year my wife surprised me with hockey tickets two rows behind the goal at a Seattle Kraken game so we're clearly recognizable on some of the closer shots.

I have also had my music played on a radio station thanks to a goon DJ playing songs from the Awful Christmas albums.

In 1995, the sister of someone killed in the Oklahoma City bombing spoke at my grade school when I was in 6th grade and it was covered by local news. I kept looking back at the camera like an idiot, completely ignoring that poor woman and thinking "Imma be on the tv!"

And I was :haw:

Interviewed by local news as a kid while on my boat

As an adult the paper also interviewed me about drat near the same topic and one of my friends is a teacher that assigned her students to bring articles into class and was flabbergasted that the article featured me lmao

Also made it into a magazine for…pretty much the same poo poo ,although that was just a photo

I was on an episode of Springer - and I've never seen it.

I was also on a game show called Let's Ask America, which was at the time hosted by goon Kevin Pereira. I haven't seen that episode either, since it didn't air in Chicago. But I got eliminated in the first round.

Also, I went to college in Arkansas and for the first anniversary of 9/11, I was in a ceremony at the Capitol building in Little Rock. I was standing solemnly at the top of the stairs looking at a huge American flag hanging down while somebody sang The Star Spangled Banner, and the way that guy was singing it I felt like one of the guards in the Biggus Dickus scene, right with a live broadcasting TV camera in my face.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
When I was a kid I was in a local ad for a real estate agency; just a background extra, crossing a street.

In 8th grade band, our class got to go to Portland, Oregon to be in the audience for the filming of Mr. Holland's Opus. Presumably I'm there somewhere but I was never able to spot me.

Been in the weird world of morning TV shows a few times as a backing musician for various bands and singers. Get into the centre of the city at 5:30am, wait around for about 2 hours, "stand by" for 20 minutes, then about 15 seconds to plug everything in and get playing after the commercial break. I wised up to the process after a few times and barged my way to the front during the guitar break, thrashing out my 3 chords and posing like a madman. One time we were packing up and the presenters went "live", the producer told me to "carry it out that way" and I walked right across the shot so the hosts could act interrupted and have a big ol' laugh at our expense. Always got paid tho

Back in 2001 I'd put up a fake CNN webpage with a story about Britney Spears getting killed in a car accident that, with the help of goons, went extremely viral and through a coincidence of factors, ended up making its way onto the actual CNN's list of top stories and the views on the fake story went absolutely bonkers after that. Some news teams tracked me down for interviews about it; but because I had moved a few months prior, the unfortunate souls who lived at my old address got some surprise knocks on the door from reporters too.

Same, except instead of making a face I was carrying in a spaceship I had made out of Construx to show my classmates, and the cameraman was instructed to get a closeup of my creation. I felt so cool :3:

I had a small recurring part in a variety show on Community Access TV in Albuquerque. Never got a shot at a headlining skit of my own though.

I would play background character, bad white guy and/or Priest, dinosaur extra, some camera and sound work, etc.

I was in a commercial for the Florida Panthers as they were filming crowd reactions at a game I went to, and the only reason I knew was a dude I’d met once sent me a message and told me about it. I’m center frame but it lasts only about a second or two, so I have no idea how he recognized someone he’d met a single time but thanks dude!

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

In the audience for wrestling shows and once for a Steeler game.

Back in college the Penguins won the Stanley Cup and local reporters were outside the bar I was at with a friend. They interviewed us both, and my friend gave a very intelligent answer about how the Penguins had the better team and how they outplayed whoever they beat. I was very drunk and said “we’re all just having a great time here, wooo!”. Only one of us made it on TV and he was pissed at me for months that my drunken antics made it over his well thought out answer.
