Instead, we went through hair and makeup and had a wardrobe check, and when we went into the next room there was a 10+ member crew of light, sound, and camera people waiting for us. The producer was from another city flying in for this. Now I'm really curious what it's going to be. We were interviewed for about 20 minutes, so maybe we'll get a minute of air time when all is said and done. We got paid $200 for it.

Just prior to my retirement I was a project manager on a project that was a first of its kind that generated a ton of attention. I literally gave hundreds of tours and talks on the project to people from all over the world.
The media came out to tape interviews with me and 2 others. Once that little red light on the camera came on, my ears got hot, my face got flushed and I couldn't speak intelligently. They finally got the footage they wanted, but it was a torturous path.
