When I was a kid, I was on Bozo’s Circus - so I was on TV during the Grand March. Oh, and when I was a teenager, I was on Boogie Check - John Records Landecker hung up on me! 
I’ve been getting my fifteen minutes in short, five second bursts. The occasional old school geek will recognize my name when I introduce myself.
Pete Abrams (of Sluggy Freelance), JD Frazier (of User Friendly), Wiley (of Non-sequitor), and Neil Gaiman have all asked me if I am the Oracle [Maus Magill]. Usually, the follow-up question is, “Is The [Internet] Oracle still around?”
I got a small chunk of it about 4 years ago when my Taekwondo school was featured on the local news, as we were doing a break-a-thon to support the Susan B. Komen foundation.
I’m going to get the rest of it next year. I have a role in an independant martial arts movie being shot in the Houston area, and am also the fight coordinator for it as well.
I was on a local kids TV show produced by our CBS station here in town. It was called “Peanut Butter Press Reports.”
I did a show on the Indianpolis Mounted Patrol ('cause I’m a horse nut!) and one on the “ethics” of zoos. I don’t remember crap about what was said on either episode, but I remember that filming for the second show took a whole day!
We went to the Childrens’ Museum and spoke with a “scientist” about why zoos are important to keeping up endangered species. We went to the Indianapolis Zoo, and spoke with the Vice President. We got to hang around in the Dolphin Pavilion and watch them play, and got to visit the elephant enclosure. They were doing memory tests on the elephants and we got to feed one! Then, we talked with a crazy PETA lady in one of the parks downtown. Even the camera guy thought she was nuts!
I’ve been quoted on the news a couple of times as well, once about the Miracle on 62nd Street fundraiser for Gleaner’s Food Bank (I was 12-13) and once when Dan Quayle dropped out of the 2000 presidential election.
I’m pretty sure I’ve actually been on TV for MORE than 15 minutes!
I have been on TV several times with dog organizations I have belonged to, most notablt Pet-A-Pup , a therapy dog group , we visited hospitals and nursing homes, and did presentations on dog care and training at schools and libraries. (The organization is now defunct , and I REALLY miss it 
)
I think I am on the threshold of fame within the Gordon Setter world, with Nick and his amazing show career start.
As a former press attache for a U.S. Embassy in South Asia, I got quoted in regional newspapers a lot; and I was quoted directly in the Washington Post and New York Times following an anthrax scare last year. My hometown paper put a large article on me since I was the press officer during the tsunami; then when I went back my mother’s school asked me to talk to a class that had raised money for relief efforts – I hooked them up with a local charity, and there was another story. I’ve been on-air as well, but unless you really like news about coir weaving or humanitarian demining and live in south Asia, it’s unlikely that anybody’s seen me.
My foot’s had about a half of a second, that’s all.
Back in 1996, we had an emergency landing in Atlanta (turns out, no big deal, just precautions due to a bird strike, but all was well.)
The delay, though, caused us to miss all our connections, so in the hotel that Delta put me up in, I was using my vouchers for beer in the hotel bar and saw the Atlanta news cover the story for about 15 seconds or so.
The clip had the plane parked and the pax deplaning. I was number three out the door. They showed the first two exiting the plane, and then just as my right foot came into view, they switched…“And now, in other news, …”
[in case you’re wondering how this could be seen through a jetbridge, this was a an ATR, a turboprop, and one disembarks down a stairway to the tarmac, not through a jetbridge/jetway. The crew was filming it from the tarmac.]
