It looked very realistic.
back in the 90's I won tickets from 'Harris in the Morning' to a screening of Clear and Present Danger ...
... I was asked to call back in the next day and give my impression of the movie

Long time ago....circa 1974....my Cub Scout den went on the Bozo Show at channel 7, I believe it was, in DC. Bozo started picking kids in the audience for a game and were all screaming "pick me, pick me". Then I when I thought he picked everyone in the game, I sat down kinda rejected, and musta looked it because Bozo's last pick was me.
It was a game in which you and your partner stood back to back with arms interlocked and a balloon between your backs and you had to be the first to pop it. When the game started, most kids were trying to mash against each other to pop the balloon. I don't know why I thought of it, but I had the immediate idea of picking up my partner and letting his weight pop the balloon...and it worked. It was over in seconds. We ended winning some board game I've never heard of, while all the other kids got bags of Snickers. To be honest, I would have rather had the bag of Snickers....oh well, good times.

I've been on TV twice that I'm aware of.
About 10,000 years ago when I was in the 4th grade - I went on the TV show "Heads Up!"
I won the "Get the Picture" category, which is like a game of Concentration.
I won a star for that.
Fast-forward to when the Thomas Johnson bridge was closed down for repairs. (80's? Early 90's?)
I was one of the last people to cross the bridge before they shut it down for the summer. I was on Channel 5 news, and I was: "Motorist"
Blew my 15 minutes too soon in life

Too bad they took the book and ruined it - had to make it Baltimore. DC would have been a better choice, but Denver as the original would have sufficed, per the book.

Back in the 90's the local news channel was stopping people in a shopping center and asking them what they though of the Timothy McVeigh conviction. Unfortunately they had to edit out a good bit of what I had to say but they left in some of it.

Must've been about 5 or 6 years ago. My daughter and I went to NYC to try out for a contestant on "Who wants to be a Millionaire". I didn't make the cut for the contestant pool, but, my daughter and I were members of the studio audience and when they did the "Ask the Audience" lifeline, they camera's panned over my daughter and I for about 10 seconds. LOL

I used to always try to get the client to be in their own commercial or do their own BB segment because everybody in St. Mary's County would tell them they saw them on TV and they'd get direct feedback from their advertising.
Oh, and yes, I've been on TV many many times.

I was as a kid on a news clip. Another time, I was on the jumbotron at a 49ers game.
Did you flash the camera?
