I read a statistic a few days ago that 1 in 4 Americans have appeared on television or a film (not counting local access channels). I’ve been on TV once when I was in the audience at Dave Letterman. The camara man scanned across the crowd and there I was smiling and clapping! When I told Jared about the statistic he made up some elaborate fib about the Cosby Show going on a family trip to the desert to be filmed in St George, needing some elementary kids as extras, and his line: “Don’t forget to bring water!”. Then he made me feel bad that I ‘forgot’ this important moment of fame in his life. The sad part is I bought every line of it including the guilt trip. I think one reason that he continues to tease me is that I’m so guilible. (The other reason is that he’s a Stanley and it’s in his blood). However, I think the real reason he fibbed was he realized he hadn’t been on TV and wasn’t nearly as famous as his celebrity wife.
So according to the statistics 1 in 4 of you out there have also been on television?
