Celebrities That You Met

Is he still around? I haven't seen him on TV for a while. I like his creole and southern cooking.

 

No, sorry, he passed away in 2001.

I always enjoyed his cooking show. Remember how he started the show off by saying, "I'm so glad for you to see me," because he couldn't see us through the TV.

Then when he would have the finished product ready to serve, he would say, "Don't that beautimous?" He was one of a kind. Oh, and I remember his rule about wine - not to worry what kind of wine goes with what kind of food, just drink the kind of wine you like!

 

Double woot woot!!!

 

I will be telling my kids...Yo Hg had a crush on me!! Yeah...She was putty in my hands!!

 

My ex-wife is the niece of Christopher Lloyd from Taxi and Back to the Future. He came to our wedding. Got to chat and drink with him. Couple years after that he did a play in Boston where we lived and we got to hang with him. Nice guy not anything like the characters he played

 

Celebrities come to 40/42 a lot!!!

I work at Cracker Barrel and we have had lots of visitors.. Just last week "Batista" the WWE wrestler came for lunch.. in the past year we have had "Big and Rich", Daughtry, The Big Show (WWE wrestler), Booker T (another wrestler) . They have all been really nice and willing to take pictures with the staff.. Batista even sat with a group of 8-9 boys for a good 10 minutes and gave them autographs and talked to them. They were so excited.. He is so big they all looked way up to him. Just thought I would share..

 

famous peeps

I used to run a country magazine in NY..did it for about 6 years until the country music fad phased out. Met a few people and groups, hung out with the Eagles after the concert, Hal Ketcham, Shania Twain, The Oak Ridge Boys, Merle Haggard, Wille Nelson who was the coolest, Alabama, "baby likes to rock it"-forgot their name oops, Tanya Tucker and my favorite was Alan Jackson....

Those days are over but the memories remain...sigh.:cheers:

Didn't really meet them, but saw them close up.
David Hasslehoff in a bar in Santa Moncia, CA, back when he was just 'Snapper' on Y&R. I didn't even know who he was as I did not watch Y&R at the time, but saw a crowd around him and and asked. And Cyndi Lauper in NYC....Girls just wanna have f-u-n....:mrgreen:

local tv and radio personalities

 

I feel like a loser, I've never met anyone! I'd like to, but it's never happened. It sounds like I need to start hanging out at the Cracker Barrel though!

 

When I was in 8th or 9th grade, I went on a summer trip for Girl Scouts called a Wider Opportunity. It was in Arkansas with girls from all over the US....one day we got to shake hands with the governor of Arkansas. Being from NC, I had no clue who he was, but I remember calling my mom and asking her if all politicians acted like used car salesmen....yes, it was the man who later became president. I even have a certificate signed by him that I met him.......(It's rather wrinkled since I didn't put much store in meeting some old man I didn't know.) On a brighter note, we met several of the Rockefeller clan on that same trip when we had a dinner on their Arkansas Ranch....think shades of "Dallas" and "Dynasty" with regards to the servants and the decor!

 

I have met:

Phil Ford
Ric Flair
Stedman Graham
Willie Nelson

and my idol Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at a concert in Roanoke Va when I was 12
