I was on the tv last night, but my wife told me to get off before I broke it.

I was on Dateline's "To Catch a Predator" when it was in Northern Virginia. I am a cop and was one of those annoying guys dressed in camouflage that jump out of the bushes to tackle the fat idiots.
We don't normally dress that way it was for TV. Dateline asked us to do that.
Anyway, Chris Hansen is a nice guy.

Newspaper articles for racing. TV for rare cancer cluster.
Snuck out of work to vote. A local tv station was there and took video of my voting. My boss saw it on the news that night.

Good for you. Keep up the good work.
Provided commentary for 9 years of the Crim 10 mile when it appeared on PBS - a 90 minute show. We did voiceover of a video of the action, making it sound like we were riding the press truck. It appeared race eve and many runners had 'viewing parties'.
Awkward part: when runners finished, you could hear me calling their names over the PA because I work as the finish line announcer too.
5K of fame?
I rabbitted for Morceli at a nationally teleivised indoor mile.
But I only went 900m so no 5K of fame for me I guess.
I was interviewed by the local news in a store I worked for to talk about avalanche safety.
My friend, my brother, and I could be seen standing behind Dan Cortese for an MTV Sports shoot at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh during the 1994 MLB All-Star Game.
In Chicago I was interviewed in studio with Tamron Hall (hot) and Dave Navarro on Fox Thing In the Morning. They also came to my apartment and recorded a segment. Some crazy bitch forwarded an email to her friends about a date I took her on. Her friends then forwarded it on and on and on...... Check it out, it's pure entertainment. Stuck with match.com, take notes!

I was on TV back in November. Having to do with the NYC Marathon.
Curious, by chance did they show a clip of Tyson Gay at the expo? If so then I might have been on there. The reason I'm asking, there was a tv camera guy there interviewing him and then he kept shooting because I was first in line, anyway...
I was on the "Flippo the Clown" tv game show once as a kid--got picked to do a game contest.
Also, recently at a 10k race, I was asked to be in a music video. Yep, have no clue who the singer was, still need to look her up. Anyhow, after the race some guy came up to me and asked if I was interested. The singer was doing a 'running' video. I was in the back of the group and they shot the clip a few times. Who knows maybe my face got in but they are not going to release it until about 6 months from now. Should be on Youtube?
I ran a big marathon at roughly the same pace as the lead women. They ran like complete retards with terrible pacing and ran the tangents poorly (even the chasing women would suddenly accelerate and decelerate), so I was near the pace car for miles 3-10 or so. Eventually they picked up the pace and pulled out of sight. In the end there was another woman behind them who ran even splits and finished third for a ton of prize money.
I've been on the local news a few times. When I see local reporters out in the field I like to run up behind them and yell shit and act like an idiot waving my arms.

On my 8th birthday in the mid 50's I was on the local kids show, "Uncle Orrie and Nosey the Clown Show". They lined up the birthday kids in front of the gallery for individual TV exposure.
OK that's my TV claim to fame although pretty lame.
I was on the news once due to my running prowess. You can see how impressed the pretty reporter was.
If that was real, that was hilarious. Well done.
