Have you ever been on TV??

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

I remember when I was about 11 being in the studio in RTE for a Saturday morning children's programme called 'TX'. In the studio they'd have a load of kids sitting up behind the couch where they'd interview guests. I remember the boyband of the day OTT being on the programme that day(this was around 1996 or 1997). I also remember briefly appearing on some other show having been recorded singing 'Wonderwall' for about 10 seconds with one of my other dumbass mates in a shopping centre in Athlone.

So, whether it was standing behind your county's GAA manager after a game staring down the camera like a tool, or being led out of the Special Criminal Court with a copy of The Sun covering your face, have you ever been on TV??

Might be on Instrumental soon enough, as a guy who showed up and didn't get a place.

Mr.Crinklewood

Yes ;-)

I was in the audience for a Jason Byrne gig being filmed for a series on RTE.

It screams funny already amiright????

I have a horribly obnoxious loud cackle/snort for a laugh. So of course he starts taking the piss out of me. My parents still have it at home

Hardonraging

Yup, i've been on several Tv stations in fact ... none of which were crime related strangle enough ....

No but I was on the radio, got nervous and swore a LOT!

God knows how bad I'd be if you stuck a fecking camera infront of me!

mr.jingle

No it's sports related not sure which program yet but all i know is it's about a 5minute slot.

If i was ever on that Tallfornia show i'd shamefully leave my house and burn all my belongings and just fade away into the background forever never to be seen again, unless you have sky record well then you could see me pretty much anytime you want!

Lawrence1895

Yes, but not in Ireland yet.

Biggest audience, I guess, during a Championsleague match, I was waving one of those gigantic flags on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund's stadium five minutes before the match started.

i had my letter red out on that strange looking fellas show that usta be on tv years ago on a saturday night after the news.

mike65

Only the back of me, and I was wearing a hoodie!

1ZRed

I have a deeply repressed memory..
When I was in 5th class we all had to be those eejits for one of the Beo go Deo Irish religious videos (if anyone is familiar with them). I didn't know if this counts, but I still have the video at home and it's damn shameful.

Thankfully though, I have no VCR to view it anymore :pac:

No ,but I had my photofit on Garda Patrol in 1982.

marozz

Years ago there was a fire on O'Connell Street, Dublin ( Burger King I think ) . I was one of the onlookers and I started waving at the news camera. I was on the mitch from school that day, so I was ****ting myself watching the news that evening as I was convinced my parents would notice me waving in the backround. Luckily, they didn't.

Chavways

I was on Nationwide back in the day.

shruikan2553

I was on BBC walking. Nearly went to audition as an extra for some viking show being done in wicklow but college got in the way of my acting future, people thought I had a good chance too

Duckworth_Luas

My picture was on Crimecall a few times. Never prosecuted though bitches! I also presented the Late Late Show for 10 years.

miamee

Yep was an extra a fair few times on Fair City...swigging drinks in McCoys or eating in the Hungry Pig, lol. Also was in 2 episodes of Camelot with Joseph Fiennes (swoon) and Eva Green and had about 1.1 seconds of screentime in an episode of The Tudors Not with JRM unfortunately
Good times though

maddragon

Yes, I'll sleep anywhere when I'm drunk.

Colmustard

I always seem to match the photofit guys on crimecall, it must be the shaved head.

Mr. CooL ICE

No, but I'm on google street view

byhookorbycrook

4 times on RTE. Two individual interviews. Radio 3 times.

The King of Moo

I was interviewed on TG4 for my opinion of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" on the way out of the screen in the cinema, alongside another Irish guy and the only other person willing to volunteer who was a French guy who didn't really know what was going on and only uttered the word "ocht," which had been fed to him, when asked to give a rating for the film.

I was also in a documentary on Japanese TV. I was teaching a group of kids who'd come here to learn English, and their trip was being filmed for the documentary. The cameraman was in class the whole time everyday, filming me struggle to get these incredibly shy ten-year olds to speak!

I haven't seen it, but I'd imagine I'm now pretty big in Japan. :pac:

I don't believe you: that's one hell of a freudian slip.

Biggins

Yes, a couple of news items and a few morning programmes.
(Mostly to do with cuts and Crumlin Hospital)

The Big Red Button

I was on Scratch Saturday once. :cool:

Annasopra

Yes - a few times

Back in the day, TG4 used to run a segment on their Gaa show previewing the weekend games, and part of this at the end of the show they used to have kids predicting the score of games.

The TG4 lads turned up at our u8 training session, asked did anyone have a word of Irish, and being the fearless 7 year old that I was I was one of the few who gave my opinion on the Kerry vs Armagh All Ireland in 02. I believe I predicted something along the line of " cuig cul agus secht deag cuilin!" Needless to say we ended up being beaten in a close game:rolleyes:

Witchie

Yes a few times. As a child on a UTV Sat morning show that came to Enniskillen, I was in the crowd and Ben from Curiosity Killed the Cat came walking over to me and I was on the telly then.

Was clearly visible in a video at a concert.

Was filmed working in my office for a german tv show.

Had to do an interview on Nationwide and was then on it again when my dad was part of a show about old feckers running!

Most recently (2 years ago almost!) I was on the news and MNS when I got caught up in a wall collapsing at a football match.

Will be on tv in Oct soon as my son went to a debs last week with a girl who was being filmed by TV3.

I will sign autographs for €5.

I was on Sattitude on RTE when I was about 11. I remember thinking how crap the whole thing was but the producer/director or whoever he was kept shouting at us to look happy and cheerful

Martyn1989

A couple of years ago I featured in a documentry made by RTE about the Grove disco that used to be on in Raheny. They needed some youths to party on down for some re-enactment footage.

I sold a load of old worn out band tshirts to a woman from RTE who said she wanted them for something Pat Shortt was doing. €150 for a few old tshirts I didn't wear anymore. I was rich for that day.

baradarcy

I got to be on 'The Works' for 4 minutes because they were coming over to my house to do an animation with my big sister and also, I think I read a poem on the radio (not mine though) and talked about computers(?) for some kids program

Lollers

Anyone old enough here might remember the antique restoration slot on The Late Late Show, it was basically touching up bits of junk to make it look resalable, my dad who was an artist restored an oil painting. I was a grinning kid in the audience, my 2 second shot of TV fame

Novella

I was on tv once when I was at a match in Croke Park.

WoollyRedHat

Yeah I was on TV once, just the one mind you. The manager of Power City told me to get out and don't come back.

Amirani

A few times during crowd close-ups in televised League of Ireland games.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Yeah, been on the TV loads of times. ****ing horrible when you wake up with a sevear hangover AND a crippled back...

antodeco

I was on "Joe Maxi" back in the 80s. Interviewed myself and my brother during our school lunch break if I remember correctly!

kfallon

Apparently I was spotted walking aroud the betting ring of The Curragh on RTE's racing coverage a few years ago!

I think RTE had to cut the broadcast short and apologise for any disturbing scenes and for not warning of viewer discretion

You interviewed yourself? How did that go? Doubt there were many startling revelations
