Being a TV person, I confess to having a rather large ego. It comes with the territory. After all, if people don’t recognize me, they’re not watching, right? So it’s always nice when someone makes a fuss.
Since I’ve been on Chattanooga TV for 35-plus years, and on the radio before that, it happens to me now and then. Some people call out my name, while others aren’t sure. They call me Darrell, or Bill, or my personal favorite, “Hey, you’re that dude on the news!” Some people will glance in my direction, see me, and then jerk their head back as if to say, “I know him from somewhere.” Others walk by, and when they think I’m out of earshot, they’ll say to their companion, “Did you see David Carroll? He had a mouthful of food, and ketchup on his chin.” (They think I don’t hear them, but we TV people have enhanced hearing. That’s how we get the news.)
