I was on a popular game show. Yes.
ESPN for USA indoor nats
Got interviewed for the local station after a turkey trot.
A very brief panning of the audience shot for The Pat Sajak Show.
I showed up in Iron Man 2 for a split second, a couple episodes of Entourage and firewalking in a Discovery Channel episode. Oh, and I was in a net with a crocodile for a National Geographic episode. Wasn't recognized by anyone. I wouldn't have recognized myself if I didn't know I was there.
I've appeared a few times on Americas Most Wanted
I was live and nationwide on CNN on December 27, 2009, at the LAX airport on my way back to BKK. They interviewed me about airport security.
local news for running. Nothing changed.
i was on the news after 9/11. they came to our school to interview students
I got on the phoenix news while walking my dog during a snow storm in flagstaff, they asked me about how the city handles plowing and my thoughts on people driving during the storm. I told them if people would not drive like idiots it would be fine. When I turned on the news the only thing they aired was a long shot of my dog with a brief bit of me talking about how much he loves snow. Oh well, I got a solid 5 seconds of face time.
I was on TV back in November. Having to do with the NYC Marathon.
I was on this little kids show a long time ago called "Romper Room". It was on some public station. Got to be on several shows.
I was in the audience watching a PBA (bowling) finals in about 1997. In the pro-am, Mike Aulby had to pick up a big split to beat me 267-259 when we were on the same lanes.
Local news for marathon win. Once for the post race interview, again a week later for throwing out the first pitch in a local minor minor league opening day baseball game. Very cool experience. I still have people recognize me two years later and tell me about hearing the race called on the radio.

Do be a Do Bee. Don't be a Don't Bee.
Those old kiddie shows remind me of the time I was on the Bozo the Clown show. I lost at musical chairs and yelled out a monosyllabic word synonymous with "excrement." Bozo laughed nervously and said, "That's a Bozo no-no," to which I replied, "Cram it, clown!" That's right. I was that kid.
Alright, alright. That whole story is an urban legend. Truth is I was never on television and I was going to lie about it anyway, so I falsely claimed to be the famous potty-mouth kid on the Bozo show and I don't feel the least bit guilty about lying. So there you go. That's my story about the time I was on television.
I was on Bozo the Clown. Don't know if I made it on TV because there was no VCRs back then. My grandparents bought a color tv just to watch. I was interviewed by 4 tv stations at the Boston Mararthon one year.
I ditched high school one day and was interviewed by a TV reporter on Hollywood Blvd when Nixon announced he wouldn't be sending anymore troops to Vietnam. I called my girlfriend and she saw it on the 5 o'clock news. This was before VCRs.
I was interviewed by a local TV station when my employer IPOed and my wife recorded it on the VCR.
I was in a TV commercial for coffee as an elite at a fictional marathon, was part of a bar fight scene on a cop drama set in Detroit in the 80's, gave a speech as a Vietnam vet on a show about 60's protest rallies, was on a game show twice and, my favorite, played a British merchant in 19th-century Nagasaki who picks up female company on the street.
Whoops, I forgot the one that the most people told me they saw: my wife and I were in a documentary about mixed marriages. She complained that I like to eat cold leftover rice with milk, bananas, nuts and brown sugar for breakfast, then they filmed us running in the park across the street from our apartment.
