DrunkBomber Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) I was in a segment on the Connie Chung show during the Bulls first three peat when my brother went to Michael Jordan basketball camp at Elmhurst College. They asked me who I would rather spend a day with, Bill Clinton or Michael Jordan Edited February 24, 2007 by DrunkBomber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) I starred in a local commercial when I was younger and I've been on Entertainment Tonight. Oh, and I lead a Bozo parade. I'm sure most of us have been on Bozo one way or another. Edited February 24, 2007 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I went to Washington DC as a 4th grader in my city's local children's choir and I sang at the lighting of the Christmas tree. We were aired on C-SPAN2. I also sat in the LF bleachers of a Sox-Twins game in Minneapolis, and while we didn't get on TV per se, you could see us because a Torii Hunter home run ball landed 1 seat in front of us. It sucked.

dasox24 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I was on TV last summer when I was interviewed by the NBC local news for a segment on summer jobs. Can't think of any other times at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Do you remember a few years ago when Amazon.com and all of the online sites failed at getting the Christmas orders out on time, and channel 5 ran a piece on it? The lady they interviewed about it all is my sister. I've never been on TV. I am still trying to get my wife to agree to videotaping...but she still says "no".

Felix Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I've been seen in the crowd of many Gopher basketball games (although do you really call that TV? Probably 10 people watch them) and was on TV last year for a Sox/Orioles game in Baltimore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Twice I think. One time I got to see myself because it was on the local news, another was this year at a UNI Panthers game on ESPN2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retro1983hat Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Was on Bozo, background of a few press conferences, when Bears flew home in 1984 after beating Washington in playoffs on Ch 9 news, and a few other occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RibbieRubarb Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 During a White Sox game my bubby and I were on camera A LOT and then we were featured on Sportscenter and local TV because of our antics towards Jamie Navarro during a game in 1998. We were even commented on by Hawk and Wimpy...who laughed and said "That ain't right..." Here's an article about what we did: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_...21/ai_n10416292 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) I have been on TV twice. The 1st time I was interviewed by CLTV when To Kill A Mockingbird was the Book of Chicago or something like that and my class went to a mock trial. The 2nd time was when a neighbor had some unlawful ticket for parking in front of an alley that didn't exist and for some reason I was on camera when FoxNews came to do a special.

Middle Buffalo Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) When I was in 8th grade (1986), I begged out of going to Bozo. Thank God. During one segment, Wizzo sat between my brother and sister and did his "magic." A later segment featured Pat (he took over for the Ringmaster, I think) doing some lame skit. Again seated between my brother and sister. I would have been so embarrassed to show up to school after that. I've never been on TV.

chimpy2121 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I don't know if I should admit this or not... I was on the opening shot for the womens' bball game against Duke, mainly because I was one of 4 in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmmmbeeer Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I made my TV debut on the freakin' Danny Bonaduce show, back when he had an Oprahesque talk show. The show was about older people still living with their parents. I attempted to act angered and frustrated by the guy getting interviewed and laid into him a bit. Good fun. Now for the weird part...Not long after the shooting in Chicago, I was back down in Biloxi at my Air Force tech school. There was like this "lobby" or what have you for each floor equipped with TV/couches/etc. So I'm walking through that room and some of the dudes sitting there ask me what the heck I'm doing on TV, I look over, and sure enough there I was. Apparently they ran a repeat of that episode and I just happened to be walking through a room which actually had that horrible show tuned in right when I was on. Craziness.

He_Gawn Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 High School baseball highlights and one of my games this summer was on tv in a few nearby states. Probably some professional games too who really knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Spencer Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Back in the late 80's I was given seats 1st role behind home plate at Old Comiskey. We'll Fisk got crossed up (I don't remember who was pitching) and the Umpire got nailed. They had to cart him off on a stretcher and I was on Sportscenter (in the back ground) that night.
