[Personal] How often does anyone actually know anyone before they see them on national network broadcast?

I recently saw Abi Carter become a celebrity on American idol. That was really the only person that I can think of that I ever met briefly and saw on national TV.

That is until tonight.

I saw tonight a girl on CBS that is apart of a local Christmas broadcast singing dancing to a number of pieces. Actually it's in rebroadcast now.

This just too weird for me. Because I only briefly met her at weekly Street event. And the circumstance was weird. She asked me to help her.

Yet how often does this happen to anyone in so short a period of time?
