Fantasy

My fantasy at the time was to lift weights with Lou Ferrigno. My fantasy was granted and I was on the show with Lou Ferrigno and Meredith MacRae what a fun time it was!!

I was on Fantasy in 1983. My mother's siblings were reunited after being separated at birth. It was the largest sibling reunion to date on television. I was 15 and in Hollywood was an awesome experience. I wish I could find a tape of the show. The producer of the show called my mother one evening late to tell her that they would be flying the whole family to California for taping and she fainted and dropped the phone. My mother is the oldest in the family and she was so happy to find other brothers and sisters that she had never met. The producers put us up at the Sheraton Universal for the whole week and I had a chance to meet a great many actors during a roast they had in the ballroom for Ron Cey who was traded to the Chicago Cubs. As a guest you could go down to the ball room and mingle.

I was on this show as a 16 year old. I believe it might have been filmed in November and aired in December, 1982, but I could be off a month or two. I am a ventriloquist, and at the time, had never seen a live performance of another ventriloquist. I was a good student in school and a good kid, I guess. My mom wrote the letter to the show - and it was her fantasy to have them give me my fantasy of performing with a professional ventriloquist. I met and performed with Shari Lewis and Lambchop. Shari gave me the number 2 Lambchop doll off the production line, with an autographed tag. I, too, would give anything to have a copy of that video to share with my children. If it weren't for my uncle who took photos of the TV while it aired, I would have nothing to prove to my children that I was on that show (other than the hometown newspaper putting me on the front of the TV Guide - Yay! for small towns!). Anyway, it was really awesome the way NBC studios took care of us. We had been going through so much when that "fantasy" was awarded. It was a blessing to have an experience like that.

My mom and aunt was on this show, not sure what episode. They meet there sister they never knew they had . Would like to see all of them. Could you get them all on here .Thank you.

I was a 18 year when I went on this show in 1982 I was one of four people selected for the skydiving fantasy. Had a blast! One of the scariest things I've ever done. I wish I would have bought the video from NBC Burbank back then. Our skydiving video aired for three days in a row. I remember getting phone calls from friends and family asking if that was me on Television lol. I remember my knees shaking when Peter Marshall came up to me in the audience and I had the worst stage fright. Leslie Uggins was so beautiful in person and nice. Peter was nice too I just remember being so excited and nervous. Looking back now I'm glad I did it.
