Have you ever been on TV or Radio - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

James"Thunder"Early · 04-23-2005, 02:50 PM

I've never been on TV, but my voice has and I've been on the radio. the first time I was six or seven and I wanted request a song and I guess the station used an automated service for request. so I said the song I wanted to hear and later on the DJs played my voice on the air and it was muffled and inaudible and one of the DJs said what the heck was that? LOL. the other time I called into a tv call in show and talked to the mayor of santa barbara and said we needed a walmart.

I've never been on the radio, but I listen to a radio show in the afternoon. Local guy, Howie Carr...sort of a Rush Limbaugh type. He's very popular and has appeared on The O'Reilly Factor and Larry King Live during last year's campaign, since he knows so much about Boston politics, and Kerry was a candidate.

I'm too chicken to call, but I e:mail him my comments. He reads my e:mails a lot....one day, he read three. I'm sort of a regular, along with others who e:mail him.

The first time he read my e:mail, I was so excited that I made a thread about it here, lol. Now it's old hat.

I used to call regularly to a Sports talk radio show in NC years ago.

No but I've been in the local new paper in South Boston (when I lived there) but my mother was on the Special Edition episode of Inside Edition on the forced busing in the 70s in South Boston. Heh they bleeped her out. She said "it was about f***ing time"

We have it on tape too. Probably the only tape of it that exists anymore! It aired in 96.

Anybody else see it?

I've been in numerous local commercials over the years...Last time was in September and October of 2003. My stepmom operates a huge, popular party supply store in this area and they do commercials...they prefer to do them in the second half of the year...For Halloween, they go all-out with costumed people...They also make a Thanksgiving/Christmas commercial too and a New Year's one too. I took part in their Halloween 2003 commercial. I also took part in their New Year's 2000 commercial. Very fun.

ETA: I just remembered. Way back in the day, I used to be on the news a lot, due to being hearing impaired. I was on the news a few times in the late 80's and early 90's. Unfortunately, the only news clip that I have is from October 1991.

Kidding.

A few times, all on TV....

in 1st grade the local NBC News station came to our school and in our art class we drew 3s because NBC is Channel 3 in my area.

in 4th grade a guy came when we were on a fieldtrip to the middle school, where they made an indoor rainforest.

in 8th grade, demonstrators came to the outside of our school and handed out flyers and showed videos of the treatment cows and tried to get us to stop drinking milk. Me and a few friends just started shouting "Eat Beef! Eat Beef!" over and over again in the background, and the news people that came and taped it got a clip of us, stating we weren't pleased with the demonstrators invading our school. They got fined for it, because they had to close school early so they wouldn't start any trouble.... I guess they didn't close early enough.

Warm & Fuzzy · 04-23-2005, 08:48 PM

TV, yes. I was singing in the American Red Cross xmas carol.

Radio, no.

Indoor rainforest? Were these guys fans of Bio Dome?

In 5th grade I was the queen of the pet parade from my grade school. It aired on a local station here in Chicago. My cousins saw me on TV and I thought it was pretty cool for a fifth grader.

Heart Shaped Box · 04-23-2005, 08:58 PM

I was only on TV one time, and it was for like..5-10 seconds! It was 2 years ago, and our 5th grade class wrote letters to the firemen and police officers for what they did on 9/11. It was just around that time, and our letters got sent to different kinds of stations. So one day a local news guy with a video came and taped me and two other kids holding these badges, and then my teacher talked about why we sent letters to them!

TripperFan · 04-23-2005, 09:20 PM

I was on the radio once when I phoned in to a local morning show to request their version of "The Jim Bakker Song" when he was in trouble there and the DJ said I had a "voice from above" and should be on radio - and put me on! I was really surprised - I've always thought my voice sounded goofy!

I also was on t.v. once when our company was launching a new "do it yourself" CreataCard machine. We were doing a segment on a local morning breakfast t.v. show and they wanted a video of how to use the machine so they used me. I had to play like I was a shopper that couldn't find the right card, so then I discover this machine where I can make my own. They played it when interviewing our P.R. guy. I've still got a copy of the video and its just tooooo lame! I'm embarrassed to watch myself.

Dutabi84 · 04-23-2005, 09:21 PM

Yeah, I was on a news clip for a station in Duluth, MN, for a thing we did in elementary school called "Readers' Roundtable" or something like that.

Then a group picture of me and some friends was in the Minneapolis news after one friend was killed in Iraq.
