jenzshoppin Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 On my first Black Friday I went to KBtoys at the mall and the news showed up and interviewed me! They asked what I was looking to buy and it was the Hotwheels or Matchbox, criss-cross-crash toy. I got into KBToys and they were gone! I got so caught up with the sales, I bought $200. worth of toys because they were giving away Buzz Lightyear! Anyway, my DH recorded it from tv that morning and just reminded me he had it recently when converting our VHS tapes to DVD. It is funny thinking about it now, but I'd rather not watch myself on tv again! Anyone else been on the news on BF??
codeblue Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Yes I have. I was interviewed along with my friend after the news reporter had noticed how full her SUV was. This was at 8:00am and we were at our last stop before we needed to go home and empty out because we could not fit anymore in. And that is usually the case.
heavenlysshine Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Oh, dear God, no! And I hope I never do get caught on camera that day! I always look like H-E- double hockey sticks. ~H~
ryka Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I was caught last year while I was waiting to go into kbtoys. I warned her before she went on air to not put me on cause i looked horrible and she did it anyway. I was nice when the camera was on me but after i told her off.
purplecrush Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 OMG yes!! We were coming out of Walmart with all our stuff and the news guy asked us a bunch of questions about the toys and who they were for and blah blah blah..WELL ..MY KIDS Saw it and KNEW what they were getting!! I was so mad! I didnt even THINK about my kids seeing it lol. Needless to say, they were pretty excited about their new stuff.
elena_398 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My mom was interviewed about 3 yrs ago at TRU. She had a fit afterwards as her hair was blowing every where and she didn't put makeup on. LOL. We still laugh about it till this day
wildtama Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I am so glad that those of you who have been on weren't on b/c you were in a fight at Walmart.
elena_398 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 LOL, Im glad too! On BF I don't think anyone is at their best. LOL. I usually don't go to bed. Though I do try to put makeup on. Don't want to scare anyone. LOL.
jenzshoppin Posted November 8, 2005 Author Posted November 8, 2005 MY KIDS Saw it and KNEW what they were getting!! I was so mad! I didnt even THINK about my kids seeing it lol.I thought about that later too. Then I was glad that the item was not in stock and all of the gifts would be a surprise. My son did ask me about the toy and I told him it was out of stock. Don't worry, both my kids had a great Christmas and didn't think twice about the gift that I talked about on TV! And I was worried about what I looked like, even if I did put on makeup, it was just too early to look good!!
cowfrog Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Two years ago I got interviewed outside Best Buy at 430 in the morning, and then again inside when I was waiting in line to check out. It was funny to see how much more tired I can become in 5 hours. Then I had to watch it lead the news every hour on the hour at work, because my coworkers thought it was funny.
Tessangel Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Nope but my mom did one year when I was a kid!
simonalex Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Last yr when I reahced KB toys at 4.30 in the morning, their was already a big line outside the store and in the front of the line, some people were being interviewd by local TV. we were lucky that we were late. I guess they were told that customers are waiting isnce 3.00 am. Simonalex
Lori317239 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Yes, the van of my mother was taped for the news. Sad thing was, we had already unloaded at least once if not twice.
erh12275 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Nope and I don't think I wanna be...I usually look pretty bad at 5 in the morning w/ no sleep...lol.
ajburlingame Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 No, but I always watch the news while I am waiting on my sister to pick me up (she is usually 5-10 minutes late) and I get a total hoot out of the shoppers and it makes me go crazy wanting to get there. The wait is so hard. Most years I end up standing at the end of the driveway waiting for her to pick me up because I am so antsy that I can't wait inside. Honestly, I hope I am not ever interviewed, I get so excited on BF that I would probably just say something stupid.
leefamily23 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I was on but not interviewed. I was in line w/ my TV at Walmart one year. They were doing an interview not far from me. When I went to work Monday 5 different people said the entire time the interview was happening I was the backshot. I didn't know about it until then.
kas3 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 A few years ago I was first in line at Toys R Us. The van pulled up and asked if they could interview us. I was the only one to say yes! All the other women pulled away as if the news guy had the plague! Lynn
Rebirth Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I taped the news last year. The places they go to are bigger malls, and a Walmart.
ebony0421 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I've never been on the news on bf and the selfish part of me thinks about how many deals am I missing while I do the interview. That sounds horrible, doesn't it?

I know I HATE watching the clip of me on BF, I didn't say what I wanted to say and I was all giddy and acted like I was in line for Disneyland!
