Super idea ! I did the same when I was studying film production in university, in order to finance our short film. My 3 fellow crew members and I participated at a quebec tv quiz, and we won $CAN 1 500 !

How much could you win ?

Best of luck !

That's awesome, bri!!

The only TV show I've been on was when I belly danced at a huuuuge party, and somehow the tape of that ended up on public access. This was about, oh, 5 years ago and every once in a while I *still* get phone calls or random statements from people telling me that they saw it.

Mm.. used to be a (non-union) actor and had to fill in the considerable gaps by doing extras work, so I've been on TV plenty of times - just not with the big payout.

I was almost unionized once by speaking a few lines a Showtime tv movie, but the damn assistant director stopped me, realizing they'd have to pay my union dues if that happened. Dammit dammit dammit. lol

I also passed the test and auditioned for Jeopardy! and kicked ass until I got to the segment on the Old Testament. I guess heathens aren't cut out for quiz shows

Goodluck Beergal

What show is it so that i can keep an eye out of it, and have a good laugh if you do make an arse of yourself

But i'm sure you'll do fine

**bluepea** · 04-21-2005, 12:56 PM

I was on the news when I was a baby.

Good luck! That would be so much fun.

What show is it? You have to tell us! For £2k, I reckon it has to be daytime Channel 5.

**SuDz** · 04-21-2005, 01:47 PM

I've been on the news a few times. Mostly man on the street questions about stuff going on in the city or whatever.

Well thats my big claim to fame

**LostFarmboy** · 04-21-2005, 07:22 PM

ummm....i think i was on planet-x once for the x-games trials back when i used to skate, can't remember if that footage was ever shown or not though.

**beergal** · 04-22-2005, 07:13 AM

ok i cant tell you what the show is called cos its a new formatted show but basically i have to sit in the back of a taxi and get driven around liverpool and answer general knowledge questions while being filmed in the taxi lol

**MeTurk** · 04-22-2005, 07:24 AM

Better be careful they don't do a legger at the end and stick you with the taxi fare.

**bluepea** · 04-22-2005, 10:05 AM

Oh that sounds awesome!! Good luck. Tell us how it goes.

**elfmaiden** · 04-22-2005, 12:25 PM

Sounds like it'll be fun! I was in the crowd of Montel Williams once on a school trip. The show sucked really bad, but I saw myself on American TV! yeah!

It sounds very Trigger Happy Tv - esque. Keep your wits about you!

Gumby · 04-22-2005, 07:05 PM

Last year I was on the national karaoke challenge on SBS in Australia. Got really drunk and sang the YMCA. My friends thought every note was out of tune and I don't think they televised my song because they thought I had amazing talent. The crowd loved it.

Still living that one down.

Didn't win any money.

**LostFarmboy** · 04-22-2005, 07:32 PM

that's friggin wicked gumby!!

I watched that show a couple of times, never saw a drunk person singing YMCA though, that woulda been the best!!

being the poor student i am i already asked about that one lol

**mbo108** · 05-09-2005, 07:04 AM

I was on MTV before. My senior year at Penn State i was on MTV's "How to Live Like A College Student." It was me, a male cheerleader kid Mike, and this theater girl. Yeah, it was some messed up junk. I broke up with my girlfriend during filming. so that was sweet.

It was definitely my 15 minutes of fame so i lived it up, basically for the next week people bought me shots. The best part was doing keg stands with the producers and camera guys from mtv in my back yard.
