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 have two friends that have each been on game shows (Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!). Not a game show guy myself but maybe other people find that interesting.

    This is ruling out other friends who are actors & had bit parts/cameos in random things. One of my former roommates was actually in a commercial that showed up on TV one time in our living room, that one was funny.
