I remember that show!猸愶笍There used to be a children's show called "Dishonest John" and the guy was always in black. My brother and I got to be on the show. When the host asked who's birthday it was (you got a game about the show) my brother raised his hand, 馃槸but he was lying?! The host was off to the side with other people laughing his ass off...I suppose he KNEW my brother was lying. My brother's name is [i][b]John!馃ぃ[/b][/i]

Wow I loved Romper Room. The Do-Bee part and the magic mirror were my favorites.

@SW-User I read an interview with Halle Berry in which described her attempts at meeting men when she was single. One time, she actually went to a chat room to try to meet someone. She said that she announced to the room "I'm Halle Berry", and the moderator kicked her out, assuming she was just a troll. She was surprised at that reaction! lol

(Serves her right for thinking that brandishing her celebrity status is the way to meet someone.)

I used to watch that show every day when I was REALLY young.

I've been told that my sister in law was on the Bozo show when she was a child, but this is unconfirmed.

I remember that show . I can remember being on a TV once . I couldn鈥檛 reach something I wasn鈥檛 supposed to have so I climbed up onto the TV to reach it . Now that I think about it I鈥檓 glad it was a console TV . Not the plastic kind . That鈥檚 as close as I got to being on TV.
