If so, explain.

I was on The Price Is Right about 5 years ago. Didn't get called down as a contestant, but I at least was in the background whenever the camera panned over the contestants. I did get to "try" to ask Bob Barker a question during a commercial break though, but I got dissed by him (true story!)

Yes. I got interviewed at the midnight showing of LOTR: The Two Towers for the local news.

In high school my AP history class was on TV for something, though I cannot recall what.

I was also shown briefly answering calls for crisis counseling hosted by a news station following a furniture store fire in Charleston, SC in which several firefighters were killed. I was on my Psychology internship at the time.

Many Many Moons ago, I was on the local Saturday morning show for kids that used to play the Popeye cartoons.

I still remember eating chicken and saying ROLL EM

I did a PSA type commercial when I was a kid that was like "the more you know". Side note bonus: it aired during Saved by the Bell.

When I was 7 or 8 or so, my grandparents took my sister and I to a Shreveport Captains game, and they picked us out to be in a commercial they were filming.

besides that, I'm secretly Matthew Perry, IRL...don't tell anyone...

I was on the local news when I broke my spleen and was in the hospital in high school, freshman year. The Navy came and visited the kid's hospital. My doctor/mom made me go. Also, to note, I'm on large doses of morphine. So they wheel me into this room with TV cameras and guys in their Navy dress uniforms. They hand me a hat and start asking questions, I just wanted to go back to bed. We watched the segment later on the news, I looked like a zombie.

A year later, there was a chemical spill on the road, and the day after Prom I was driving home and spun out on the chemical on a windy mountain highway, totaled my dad's Land Rover and a truck. The news station was like .5 mile away so they came. They showed a clip of me explaining the wreck to my parents in a distance. Funny thing was, I forgot to pack tennis shoes or anything else for after Prom at our friends house. So I was wearing gym shorts, a tshirt, and shiny tuxedo shoes.

I have been on two local cooking shows in Lafayette. On was "Whats Cookin'?" and the other was Passe Patout. Don't ask me what that means... it's just the name of the local morning show.
