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?

    My best friend was on The People’s Court.

    She has a small claims case against a mechanic or something. She lost, but was paid a per diem for her time that was similar to the amount she was seeking anyways. She says good things about meeting Judge Marilyn Milian.

    My friend didn’t seek being put in the show, she was approached by the producers when she showed up to the courthouse. Said, “why not”.
