I was on CBS Evening News in 1982. I have often been on local TV news, and have been quoted in national publications. When I was a kid, I was on a TV kid show.
Does this count? |
In 1982, I was a lawyer representing a class of defendants in a class action. The issue was whether it was legal to have an attenna to receive HBO signals broadcast into the air, unscrambled. In my case, the judge threw the case out and chastised the GC of HBO. Later, Congress passed a law that broadcasters had to scramble their signals in order to acquire "exclusivity."
On other issues, I have been the leader of organizations and active in certain issues. I have been on Boards of this and Boards of that, etc. So I got quoted a lot.
Just a few weeks ago, a reporter was trying to get ahold of me to write a story. I declined to be interviewed.

Now that I think about it, I was on some local TV news twice.
Once when I was about 12 years old and we had this special class for gifted children once a week... So one night, hmm, I dont even remember what we were doing but there was a TV crew there and they showed us on the local news.
Another time, couple years ago, we were doing a maths exam in school and a TV crew was filming us in the class.

In order of appearance:
1. I was on a local kids' show at about age 9. My three brothers and I were all dressed up in these native costumes my grandfather brought back from some South Pacific island country. Looked like pajamas.
2. In college (1969), a hundred or so demonstrators took over the Student Union to protest the Vietnam war. A group of a dozen students, including myself, marched on the Student Union carrying signs which made fun of the protestors. When a TV news crew came by, the others pushed me out front as their spokesman. My face was on the news that night, but I was so incoherent (not angry, just confused and making no sense) that the station didn't play the audio.
3. I don't know if they still do this, but TV and radio stations used to air editorials, after which they would invite those with opposing views to reply. I was part of a libertarian group which would often reply to the welfare-statist positions taken by Boston stations. I personally got to read four or five of my rebuttals on the air.
4. I was a contestant on a game show called Cross-Wits, which ran for two or three years in the late '70s. My celebrity teammates were Bernie Koppel (Doc on "Love Boat") and Della Reese (great singer, later on "Touched by an Angel"). The opposing celebs were Fred Grandy (Gopher on "Love Boat", later a congressman) and Rhonda Bates (very tall redhead with a huge smile, played opposite Don Rickles on the sitcom "CPO Sharkey"). In the bonus round Bernie and I had to solve a 10-word crossword puzzle in 60 seconds. I burned through 9 words in half the time, but couldn't get the last one. He nailed it for me with 2 seconds left.
