What celebrities have you met? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

jayman75 · 10-15-2002, 09:35 AM

Last Friday night, I went to our local college auditorium to see Kenny Rogers. I have known the auditorium director for several years, and told him how big a fan I was of Kenny. He hooked me up with some backstage passes, and I got to shake his hand and have my picture taken with him.

I've met a few other people, including:

** Jerry Seinfeld
** Bobby Knight (former Indiana U basketball coach)
** Tom Bosley
** Katie Couric
** Matt Lauer
** Al Roker
** Ann Curry
** Jo Stafford (I think is her last name -- Pearl from DS)
** Kenny Rogers

Who have all of you met?

Holy crap-o-mon-do! How'd u meet all those people!? Wow, I guess u see a lot of celebrities in NY. If there ever was a celebrity walking around my town, It'd be BIG news.

callmetootie · 10-15-2002, 09:51 PM

In NY, it's not unlikely to pass a star from the Mary Tyler Moore Show on the streets. I even know where MTM lives.

hazelfanatic · 10-16-2002, 10:20 AM

How impressive! Well, I'm from Nashville, so here's the Southern ones I've met or seen.

Barbara Mandrell
Minnie Pearl
Porter Wagner (Yea, I know! How boring!)
Well, just a bunch of Grand Ole Opry Stars. They were really nice. I use to work at Opryland U.S.A. in Nashville.

I also met:
Adrian Barbeau from Maude
Lisa Whelchel
Mary Lou Retton
I was kissed by Burt Reynolds at a M.D. Telethon in Nashville (I was 12 at the time, though)

There's probably others, but they are country music stars.

Holy crap. You actually met all these people?
How is that possible?
Not just seeing them on Broadway or anything, but actually meeting them?

You are 12 according to your profile.

Ericguy · 10-16-2002, 11:39 AM

Yes, I think we need to define "met". That is not seeing them on the streets or eating, rather, actually having them speak at least a few civil sentences to you. If all those people that you listed meet that criteria then you have met a heck of alot of stars. If so, how were they? I mean were they jerks, nice, what? Info please!

Brian Damage · 10-16-2002, 01:53 PM

I work in broadcasting so I do get to meet a lot of celebrities. I met Barbara Eden, Stacy Keach, Jayne Meadows and Steve Allen at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Easter Sunday. They were just hanging out in the lobby. They all took their grandchildren to an Easter brunch the hotel was throwing and I chit chatted with them. All of them were very nice.

Ricky Schroeder used to live in my neighborhood in Staten Island, NY years ago before Silver Spoons. He was very arrogant and stuck up because he was an actor. Of course this was years ago when he was just a kid.

I did a brief interview with Katie Couric and she was a sweetheart. The same goes for Emiril Legasse, Jackie Mason, Peter Boyle and Montel Williams.

Harvey Keitel and Gilbert Gottfreid seemed very weird to me. They never really make eye contact when they talk to you.

Cheryl Harrell · 10-25-2002, 05:16 AM

Brenton · 10-25-2002, 06:09 PM

I have met and worked with Carol Burnett. I want to say she is the sweetest, kindest celebrity I have ever met. A very down-to-earth person with a lot of heart and soul. She is not your typical star, which places her many cuts above the rest of Tinseltown.
