When I was about 12, my friends and I took up a collection for the Jerry Lewis Telethon, and we brought down about $42 to donate at the local TV station! I even said my first name on camera!

Was on as a youngster donating for Jerry Lewis as well, though I didn't get to say my name. I was cheated! Also was on public tv as a backup member of our high school academic team. Think Jeopardy with two four member teams. I think I was also in the audience for an episode of the 700 Club back when I lived in Va. Beach, was part of a field trip.

I voted for the "yes but you couldn't tell..." option. When I was in the fifth grade a group of seventh graders at my school at gone on a field trip and gotten food poisoning. So after school the local news was outside covering the story.
I didn't think much of it until that evening when my mom was watching the news and said "Ryan...is that you?" I was in the background walking home as the reporter was talking. The humorous part is that it was our schools "spirit week" and that day was "inside out day". So I was walking by with my jeans and sweatshirt inside out. I looked like an idiot, and was visible on camera for about 25 seconds as I stopped to talk to a friend in the background.

I got on at a WCW Nitro show from DC back in '96 or '97, since my roommate scored front row seats right on the corner of where the metal barriers were. Had a couple signs that said "McMahon and Bischoff Fear Filsinger" but the d-bag cameraman kept panning away from them. I did get on later in the show briefly with some sort of COTG-related shirt on, quick enough to tell it was me, but not long enough to really do much. Maybe I'll have to dig out the tape and bring it to GalactiCon.

Only 2 I know of:
Front row at a Raw behind JR and the King.
In the background at the Rocky Horror dance number on the Drew Carey Show. I'm one of the few people not dressed up in character.

Last October, 2006, I sat ringside just a few rows back from the ring at a WWE Supershow at Staples Center in Los Angeles where they filmed both that week's episodes of RAW and Smackdown on the same night.
When I later watched Smackdown (it was the episode where Rey Mysterio lost that "I Quit" match to Chavo and didn't wrestle again until Summer Slam) when it aired later that week, I saw that the cameras had gotten a pretty good shot of me in my black leather jacket right after one of the commerical breaks.
The only other possible time for me being on TV that I am aware of came when I was in Europe during the summer of 1997. I was in the main central square in Brussels where they have that major cathedral and a camera crew was there and asked me to say my name, where I was from, that I was enjoing Brussels (I actually liked both London and Amsterdam better that summer, but Brussels was OK too), and that their viewers were watching the name of their station- but 10 years later I can't remember the name of the station they told me to say. I actually left Brussels the next day and don't know for sure that it aired, but I know they at least filmed me.

In high school on the local "In The Know" program. I totally froze on camera!
More recently, I recorded an educational video in studio. The producers had to put makeup on my head because it was creating glare off the studio lighting. (Seriously!)

a couple of times...2 times on RAW from Biloxi and once when WCW came down there as well...one of the times on RAW we were in the seats that you see the whole show...so i was a bunch.
I was also front row at a Legends of Wrestling Card (the federation that Bundy was trying to get running in the mid-90s). Chad saw me...because he asked me if it was me in the front row...Adbulah put a bloody palm print on the guy sitting next to me and I wore my Greg Valentine G-Con shirt...and when he saw it...he did see it...but sure didn't want to acknowledge it was him. It was this same night that i met Capt Lou and the owner of the casino in Bay St Louis, MS where the card was held.
I was also on the local news in Biloxi, MS 2 times...once for a Q/A on the new display at the Coast Coliseum and the second time when my younger son got his Blackbelt...at the time he was the youngest black-belt ever in his Tae-Kwon-Do federation and the local sports report did a whole segment on him which i got about 1 minute of air time on.

I've been on tv a few times. When the Cincinnati Rockers (arena football team) played their last game I was on local news saying how I would miss the games.
Our entire school was on Good Morning America saying "Good Morning America" out in front of it. Due to the fact that our school was half in Ohio and half in Indiana and that ment that we were technically in different time zones, so they mentioned us on the show. Our basketball court was actually split by the state line, so you could shoot a shot at half court at 3:00 and make it at 4:00 or shoot at 4:00 but make it at 3:00. Was K-8, now its only K-5.
Also, when Rey Mysterio debuted in WWE on Smackdown during an Edge and Chris Jerisho cage match. I'm the guy wearing the green lantern shirt in the right corner.
As of right now that's all I can think of, but there may be more.
