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 was on a regional kid's show as an on-screen audience member, 37 years ago, called Ramblin Rod. My life has been forever changed.
