    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

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

    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.

    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 :p

    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.

    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.

    I made a few enquiries to RTE, and followed the trail to some production company in Maynooth. I wanted to be one of the people on The Angelus

    It was my minor life goal to be on that when I was living there. I really didn't put enough effort into it.

    I gave up, and regret it ever since. As far as I'm concerned, that would be the highest prize for a "have you been on the telly" thread.

    They put a sign up every now and then in the production place there that they're looking for extras for it. I saw the sign once and was going to go for it but was heading away that weekend. Biggest. Regret. Ever.

    I was on some region show on TG4 years ago, when it was still TnG. I've no idea what it was about, but I remember they brought us into the dingiest club in Cork (Sir Henry's) during the day, and we were all 12 - 14, I remember everything was black and I think we had to say what we liked about Cork. Remember watching it later and the camera was going in and out constantly, almost made me sick. Would love to find out what the hell I was on.

    Was also on Cork local TV a few times back in the day when my dad was being interviewed for some things.

    I was on the Den for my birthday as a child.

    Then TV3 for a street census of Iris Robinson's extra-marital activities:D.

    And the Frontline last night. (Thankfully no one really watches that though!)

    I was on echo island before, they came down to Shannon and we were showing them around the town for a piece on it. I was chosen from my school to be the presenter. I was only about 12 so I hadn't yet learned shame and I did whatever they asked me. Whatever they asked me.

    Then the bastards told us it would be on one day and put it on a different day instead. Only got to see it because some other guy in the class taped it.

    I was seen on TV in South Africa, doing something obscene to a dead sheep ... playing the Highland Bagpipes in a pipe band, in other words. We'd been touring the country, and ended up on TV playing with an orchestra. Nobody looks good in a kilt, huffing his lungs out in to a sheep's stomach. :o

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.
