My God it's full of stars! (a.k.a Name Dropper)

That last post got me thinking about some of the celebrities that I've met, written for or gotten to hang out with through my job or just by accident. I'm sort of shocked by the numbers here:

Martin Short (met and wrote copy lines which he delivered on camera)
Jay Leno (talked to and shot video promos of him in Houston)
Teri Hatcher (talked to- met through my Cousin who used to produce/direct "Lois and Clark")
Dr. Phil (met and wrote copy lines which he delivered on camera)
SNL alum Ana Gasteyer (hung out with, wrote part of a speech for, spent time with her and her husband)
SNL alum Jim Breur (hung out with, circled the 610 loop in a limo with him and his wife talking and laughing)
CarrotTop (hung out with one night in a hotel room in Tulsa with a small group of people... actually really funny guy and a totally random encounter)
Debrah Norville (met, danced with... don't ask)
Kimberly Cauldwell (American Idol contestant- what a sweet girl. Her mom said she was going to give me her, Kimberly's phone number but I wussed out in getting it... mistake)
Maury Povich (met, hung out with)
Roger Lodge (host of "Blind Date")
Mary Hart from Entertainment Tonight (met a few times, sat next to her at dinner once)
Bob Goen from Entertainment Tonight (met and hung out with)
Ellen Degeneres (wrote copy lines which she delivered on camera)
Montel Williams
Jerry Springer (hung out at my desk and used my phone. We talked about my ex-girlfriend's dad who gave Jerry his first TV gig supposedly (thank God)).
The cast of Star Trek Voyager (and not at a convention)
Anthony Edwards from ER (brief encounter- we passed each other in a hallway and said "hi" to each other)
Mitch Hedberg, Joe Rogan, Brian Regan (various comedians that I talked to after comedy shows... but a lot of people talk to them after shows, so I don't consider this a big deal).
Charlton Heston (met and got a picture with him... he was at my work).
Jesse Jackson (was at my work the day after Charlton Heston)
George Foreman (also stopped by work... nice guy with hands that feel like boxing gloves... just huge and puffy!)
Tiny Tim (met at the college radio station I worked at in Kansas)
Public Enemy's Chuck D, Flava Flav and Terminator X (also met at the college radio station. Signed my PE CD!)

There might be more... I may add more to the list if I think of them. Sorry.. this is kind of boring...
