Ever been on TV ???

Yo Mamma

I was once on Anything Goes, an early morning show hosted by that Angus fella and yer wan Mary who used to make stuff out of bog roll and the like!! It was on RTE 1 I think it was on Saturday mornings ?

Some parts of the show went out live on air and one such moment was when Mary was going to make something out of a Cadburys cream egg, and whilst we were live on air and she was doing her thing I, young as I was, started pulling at her dress and asking her if I could have a Cadburys cream egg too ??

RTE didnt find this cute or adoring, this boy at the tender age of 7 asked for an egg, ohhhhhhh no, when the segment was finished I was whisked from the studio and dumped back in my mothers arms and told to be gone from RTE !!

Have u ever been on TV ???

If so when and where ? What was your 15 mins of fame like for u ???

Carnate

W W T B A M ?

heh figure that one out

Dont be at yourself

I was on Echo-Island when I was around 8 or 9.

We were doing one of those reports on litter in my area or something like that (basically me and my friends had a camera and went around filming and stuff). The highlight was when one of my mates wrapped himself in rubbish and sang a song.

We got so much stick for that

Blitzkrieger

I was on german TV - does that count?

We were over there on a student exchange and one night we were walking down the street in Koln, when this large hairy man stopped us saying something in german. My friend said something along the lines "Wir verstehe nicht. Wir kommen aus Irland und spreche nicht gut Deutsch" and bingo! We were led around the corner where they were filming some soap opera in a cafe and some worried looking woman let us sit down on the set. We were there about an hour. So if you're ever watching an old german soap opera, you never know - you might see Blitzie sitting in the background with a free coffee and cake.

my school (coolmine)for some weird reason keeps getting filmed by RTE. And lots of the male teachers in our school play hurling for lots of countys

chernobyl

Dustaz

**** carnate, your were on millionaire??? Damn how much did ye win, and why didnt you tell us so we could all watch:)

Ive been on a fair amount of news reports as 'the cutaway shot of the bloke holding the camera/boom mic'. Also, if you watch the end of the Charlton Years, when the team return from Belfast, im holding a portable light.
Yes, these are not exactly stellar appearances, but I make tv progs not appear in them:)

Edit: almost forgot, I was in a programme called Private Dancer about lapdancers, getting a lapdance:)

Dear God - it wasn't "5th Years Tell It Like It Is" or something like that, was it?

We were shown that a few weeks ago in religion, funny stuff.

Personally I've only made the crowds in the background.

I was also an extra in the recent Kevin Costner Film... "For Love of the Game". It was when I was living in New York and it was filmed @ Ynakee Stadium. The movie was total shite but heh I got $200 for 2 nights work:) You can see what IMDB has on the film here....

I was on the Sunday Game.

I was behind the goal of the Limerick Tipperary match in 1996 or 1997 shouting abuse at the Tipp goalie

Limerick won a peno and you see us singin u fat bastard and the commentary called us Roughians

I've done a few bits and bobs over the years - a few years back when we launched G4 Ireland I was on The Den a couple of times (Damian whatsisface was presenter at the time) trying desperately to get a word in edgeways between Dustin and the furry thing. I felt like kicking the guy who does Dustin in the head under the table

I worked on some RTE kids shows after that, just helping out with research on games stuff and occasionally popping up as a guest "expert" type person.

I've been doing a lot of TV work over here in the past six months actually - started off doing pieces for Sky News, [.tv] (sadly now folded) and Blam! (on Sky One), and I've progressed to doing slots with BBC News 24, BBC2 and Radio Five Live every now and again about games industry stuff. It's cool - really good experience working with this kind of stuff, and you get to meet some great people. Naturally it's all great self-promotion as well, and looks damn nice on a CV...

Pugsley

I was shown on BBC news in our school play when i was about 6
I was a little roman soldier

Bard

Hmmm...

My aunt used to be on Glenroe... before that she was one of the BOSCO presenters... she's probably the one who got me interested in Journalism and media...

Still, the only time I was on TV was as a kid, on the RTÉ Saturday morning kids show "Scratch Saturday" ... about 12 or 13 years ago.

This weekly show featured Brian Reddin, Andy Ruane, "Professor Noatall" and that "Pajo" puppet - who had also been 'presenter' of "Pajo's Junkbox"... remember that?

They used to do a slot called "Video 8" where Brian Reddin gave out a video camera to a bunch of kids who went home, made a 5-10 minute "movie" and came back next week to show it. ... That's what I was on...

I was the cameraman, and I also had a "bit-part" in our video - which we called 'The Man who saw Yesterday'. It was about a TV News reporter who, while doing a report on the opening of a new shopping centre in Limerick ("Arthur's Quay"), gets whisked magically back in time to various historical events... the Siege of Limerick (pre-Braveheart Braveheart style scenes )...the signing of Limerick's famous treaty (bunch of knackered army chiefs standing around the Treaty Stone)... and dinner time in the house of the famous architect, Mr. Arthur (who designed a lot of Limerick's street structure, and for whom the centre was named). - Oh, my 'bit-part' was playing Mr. Arthur.

It was a good laugh... and I gave Pajo a good punch at one stage (hooray!)

ohhh the memories!

i was on some dingy Net 2 program that i think used to be called Johnny 5 or something similar. was there as a scout cause i was all into camping and sleeping in the same tents as girls. anyway, since i just came to ireland, i didnt have a stich of english on me , so i improvised and i think i said "Yeah" to every question. i was about 12/13 arond that time.

i also gave flowers to Mrs Robinson when she was the president, and i think that was on the news.

Budget cuts, I suppose, ours had radios.

Not exactly material for a career-change.

The girlfriend was interviewed on the main Japanese channel over the summer (she's a lot more camera-pleasing than I am (har har))
