Have You Ever Been On The Telly?

starbelgrade

And I don't mean sitting on top of it - but actually on a TV program.. like a reality show, an audience member, or featured in CCTV footage of a bank robbery on Garda Patrol? etc...

Tell us your TV story!

arsenallegend

yeah Blackboard jungle the old school quiz show back in the late 90's. didn't win though but it was nice to get onto TV.

Biggins

Yes, a number of times.
News, Morning TV shows and documentaries.

(Radio and papers too)

alwaysadub

RTE News did a bit on our school-we were all in the background making hand gestures.
Think that's about the only time from what i can remember.

It's the government cheese that does it.

I was on The Morbegs ... Beat that! :P


I was also on an RTE 2 kids show called Sattitude through my school.
We had to recreate the video of 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' by Britney Spears
I still cringe when I think about it!

Dudess

Yep. Mass - in the choir.

Was that before or after you presented the Eurovision?

Posy

Yep. I was featured on 'Nationwide' once.
Couldn't even deny it was me, my name was in a caption at the end of the screen.

Yup. Highlights shown of the FAI Junior Cup final we won about 7/8 ish years ago. Good times. Can't quite remember what channel, but one of the Irish ones obviously.

My school won BBJ when I was there actually (did not compete).

Godsentme

Yaeh...Fox had a camera or two on me when I swam UP Niagra falls.

Leelaa22

I was on tv 4 or 5 times....just as an audience member

Cheap Thrills!

When I was young I had a bit-part in a music video. I had to play a teenage bimbo of a sugar Daddy. :o

It was shown on MTV and 'the Den' -possibly other things but we only had 6 or 7 channels at the time!

I qualify because technically I was on telly! :pac::pac:

IvySlayer

How did that gob****e get on the television?!?

Once on the Den! Dustins a legend

I was an audience member on The Café back on 8th June 2006, was clearly visible in the closing credits. The only other thing was as telephone participant in the DJ Kat show in December 1995.

FouxDaFaFa

I was on the Disney Club with Oisín, the talking dog (who, to my horror, did not actually talk!). There was dancing involved. Ugh.

Edit: I also featured in an Austrian beer commercial. Unintentionally.

scientific1982

Was on school around the corner.

What video?

Queen-Mise

On telly a few times. Once am still embarressed to admit - not happy though when a few people pointed it out to me - and there was tens of thousands of people there.

Second time was on Nationwide - again I was told about it.

That's it, can't think of any other ones.

Nah, I was only a Karoma/Terry/AlmightyCushion girl - never did sexual favours for After Hours Mods: The New Bunch.

df1985

Was in New York during the summer of 2007 and CBS/NBC, one of them, were doing their local weather forecast from the top of rockerfeller centre where all the tourists were. One of those daily lunchtime things where the weather girl is on top of the building talking about the current conditions.

Anyways they end the forecast with one of those cheesy american moments where a granny who had just turned 100 was on tv with her whole family.

Camera pans around to her in her wheelchair and whos in beside her with the family.....me, with a big sunburnt happy irish head on me in a gaa jersey, smiling and nodding along like a relative.

Jay D

I remember I was on it for the Smoke Busters on RTE (or Network 2) on a program called Check Up. Was part of a thing for my school at the time to prevent kids from taking up smoking...

El Horseboxo

Was on local tv in America a few times. Just the usual ask the fans stuff after some of the school or local college games. Ended up in a Mexican travel documentary about Ireland while down in Galway for the weekend. I wasn't aware it was a big enough production. Thought it was just a student thing or something. A friend living in Mexico caught it one day on tv and was surprised when i found out. Also done an interview with a channel in Buenos Aires after a Boca game.

RayM

Glenroe, twice. Nothing exciting - I was just in the background on both occasions.

upandcumming

News reels, motorsport programmes.
More of a paper man.

citytillidie

I was on the news on the BBC for the Derry City St Pats cup final a couple of seasons ago.

TheUsual

Was an extra in the movie 'Michael Collins'. The Croke Park scene where the British Army shoot up the place, it was Bray soccer pitch really.
Underneath the scoreboard behind the goal. Just missed an oscar.

OutlawPete

Yeah, long time ago around Christmas time.

Was trying to stick some tinsel to the ceiling and it was the only way I could reach, lost my balance in the end and fell on the cat.

Ah, no seriously, I was once though ..

I was in New York on a family holiday as a kid and we went down to see if we could get tickets to see The Late Show with David Letterman.

While we were queuing, the rehearsals were on and the guests were signing autographs.

One of the guests was Kojak and he gave me a jockey back around Central Park.

It was great being on Telly

ZzubZzub

Back in the hayday, when The Den was covering the community games in Mosney. They showed me slammin some girls face into the mat at the Judo finals. It was a good day for me!

Funglegunk

Was part of an 'establishing' shot for the news when Bill Clinton visited Dundalk. Myself and two mates were nearly the first to arrive and the news teams were still setting up.

Was also interviewed about Sellafield in a shopping centre but I was so hungover they didn't use it.

Several times. I've been an audience member about 10 times on stuff like Graham Norton (sometimes got shown, sometimes not) and been interviewed on MTV and the news.

connundrum

Yes, myself and my now wife starred in a national ad campaign for a recruitment website.

It was hard work, but life at the top usually is.

No, really.
