How many people in the US have “been on tv”. There Isaacs got in my hometown who’s whole identity is that he was a contestant on a committe cooking show. I’m trying to gauge how common it is for a random person that you might meet at a bar to have been on TV. By this I mean:

  • non actors
  • not the news -not just in the audience

I think that predominantly leaves game show contestants and reality tv show contestants. What do you think?

    I knew a girl who was on one of those “ghost hunter” type shows, as one of the locals they interview at the beginning who tell the story of the ghost in whatever building they’re investigating.

    She wasn’t a local, she was on vacation there wandering around and they asked her if she wanted to be on the show and then they just told her what the story was and she repeated it back to them on camera like it was some sort of local legend lol.
