That's so cool! I'm a huge fan of Project Greenlight, were you a contestant on the 1st or 2nd season?

First season, but I never made it on a show.

I was on Its Academic with my high school, twice. I was a cheerleader and was on camera a couple of times.

I was on the local station that broadcasts the high school games (basketball and football) because I was a cheerleader and in the band.

I was on the news once for telling the Jack Kent Cook character about not turning my home into a parking lot (back in the day)

Thats all that I remember right now....if I think of more (if there were more) I will let you know.

I was in the audience for the Jenny Jones show once and I appeared in the crowd scene on an episode of The People's Court and commented on a case.

When I was like 5, I was at a press conference at Spring Training and Tony La Russa was taking questions and a reporter gave me a mic and I asked him for his autograph in front of like 500 people that all laughed...

I was a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show in Nov 1996. I got to tell the world how I managed to have the knob explode off the hotwater faucet at 4:30 in the morning.

I used to live across the street from one of the jurors from the O.J. Simpson trial. The day the verdict came out, my neighborhood was full of reporters. I got interviewed by a local newman Rick Chambers, was in the paper for giving my opinion along with a pic, and had lunch with Barbara Schroeder form FOX11 news. It was only McDonalds but I was happy. Unfortunately, I missed school that day b/c I felt like ditching but b/c I was on the news a lot, my teachers saw me & knew I had lied about being out sick. Got detention for a week. Bastards.

I was in the studio audience for the show Family Feud & you got to see me for about 2 seconds once when they panned to the audience.

On the show Who's Line Is It Anyway? I was picked out of my seat & Wayne Brady & Chip sang to me. It was awesome!

Kind of a claim to fame, but not really:

ESPN had a policy of not giving press passes to anyone under college age - they had a tough time with a kid from SI for Kids and had made a policy afterwards not to allow students to roam the studios.

Well, they were doing an opening for ESPNews, and an advisor I worked for soph. year of high school got me a pass. I was writing for the teen page of the local newspaper, and she vouched that I wouldn't cause an embarassment.

I ended up going to events all weekend, filing about a half dozen stories, and being invited to come back three years later to cover the 25th anniversary of the network for the same local paper. After my experience they have been much more willing to allow teen journalists since.

Other than that...maybe speaking in front of my fraternity's Grand Conclave when I was a sophomore?

The smart airman that passed out hours before Boot Camp Graduation.....

I twirled baton at a Giants game.

I was in 3 commercials that only aired in the LA area : One for a car dealership, and two resturant ads.

I was also an extra in the Backstreet Boys I want it that way video (I know, I know) , Man on the moon with Jim Carey, and Longest Yard.

I was on TRL requesting a song last summer.


I was in the chorus of a company that performed Les Mis here in San Fran when I was 11.

I kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.

I was on MTV once during their piece about the TLC tour. Since it's pitch black in the concert, you can't see me, but I can point out where I was sitting (the guy behind was holding a lighter, which you can see on the screen).

My senior year of high school, I was on News Ch 3 Knowledge Bowl
My sophmore year of college I was on the evening news explaining why I think parking at ASU sucks.
I think that's all.

I was an extra in the movie "Big Fish." When Ewan McGregor visits the town of Specter, the towns people have a dance. When it shows Steve Buscemi sitting in the rocking chair reading his poem to the group of girls, I am the girl in the upper left hand corner.
