    I was on the David Letterman show when I was a kid. :happy: Pretty cool.

    And I was a cave tour guide when I was in high school and gave a cave tour to the guitarist from Extreme. I was in love.

    I SAW Dr. Sue Johanson from Talk Sex at the Mall of America...we was having a cocktail at the bar at the Rainforest Cafe and I was too shy to come up and ask her for a picture or whatever...wasn't 100% sure it was her until someone else camae up to her and did the same thing. I regret not doing that. I loved that show.

    I have to admit I have read through the whole of this thread and have not heard of more people than I have heard of lol, I think that there is a massive divide over who is famous in the US and here. I think that famous should REALLY mean, WORLD famous, and I think Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama win this thread..hands down
