Have you ever appeared on the television ... have you ever been interviewed or just filmed as a passer by?

Question

Or are you one of those idiots that jumps up and down behind the interviewer just to get on tele ...?

Answer 1

Close but no cigar. A warm summers eve down that London way. Seven gents just enjoying the sights.... and a few shandies. "But who's that over there, Its only Paul Bloody Merton, and he's only got a film crew with him, Here we go lads... time to drop the keks"
Now on tele Paul comes across as having a sense of humour. Don't believe it, it's all an act. After the seven of us had waddled backwards and forwards past him for the third time, mid take, with our trousers and pants round our ankles he told us to "JUST F*CK OFF" I've never been so insulted by a celeb... well, that's if you don't count the time I suggested to Caroline Aherne that she should get her t*ts out.
Anyway, a few months later "Paul Merton's Comedy Greats" gets its airing on channel 4. We've all got our videos set to record and would you believe it... they only went and cut that bit out.
But as a mark of respect to that special evening I always remove my pants when watching Room 101. No hard feelings Paul..... yer miserable ****!

Answer 2

I've been on TV a few times (family business interviewed). My son also does commercial work. I think it's funny to see someone jump up behind the camera & wave - it makes for a good laugh - Although, I can do without the idiots that throw gang signs.

I have been on TV twice in the past 2 years. Last year I had front row center TV-side seats for WWE Raw in State College, PA. A couple of weekends ago, I appeared on a local bowling program after I qualified for the TV finals. I lost my match 290-215 but still walked away with $1,000 so it wasn't a total loss. Link below to the podcast.

Answer 4

Many times on crimewatch but only a shadow of my true self-- seriously though no but a programme was filmed in a pub that i owned with Warren Clarke of Dalziel and Pascoe fame he was a removal man who got lost taking a couple from London to Ireland and instead of filming in Ireland they saved money by filming near Fishguard.I thought here is my chance for eternal fame and stardom but they had a professional actor as the landlord and i didnt get a look in.They paid me well though for the use of the pub

Answer 5

um.. nope.. I wasn't the one jumping up behind the interviewer. I had to do an interview in highschool since I was one of the only girls in Metals class who actually learned how to weld! I was more embarressed because it seems like only the teachers watched the interview and thought it was neat and I forgot to even tell my parents I did it!
