I was riding down a two lane country road , when I came around a curve and saw a truck in my lane, I thought I was going to meet my maker, Does that count as a famous person

Oh boy.
No way I'll get all of 'em.

I've been one-on-one in the ring with George Foreman.
Scrummed Don King in an airport.
Busted up Amanda Marshall's hotel room.
Chased the Rolling Stones through the streets of Edmonton, and then got an interview with Mick Jagger.
Stopped Rev. Jesse Jackson outside a hotel in Houston for a one-on-one interview.
Had Fifty Cent's bodyguard check ME out before he met me in a hotel room for an interview.
Pam Anderson.
Tommy Chong not Tommy Lee.
Cher.
Every Canadian Prime Minister since Trudeau.
Billy Idol.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip.
At least 1000 NHL players including Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Vladislav Tretiak, Mark Messier, Mike Modano, Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Brett Hull....
Hundreds of NFL, NBA and MLB and Olympic Gold medal athletes.

Most I have met only briefly through the course of my work in television news. Few I have had more than a few minutes with. None have I been so enamored with that I felt starstruck. I respect the level of success each has achieved. But by far the most impressive people I have met have been everyday people who have struggled through impossible grief and survived to smile another day.

We met and talked to John Schneider from the Dukes Of Hazard at a small Pub in DC. at the Rolling Thunder. Super nice, had a great conversation with him. He did the concert for the troops on Memorial Day

Hey we did as well about 2 years ago...We were with some friends from Texas..was the Pub "Kellys Pub"? he was sitting having lunch with his kids and was still extremely pleasant. I felt bad about saying anything to him...however he was very accommodating.Thats when Big and Rich sang" Nov 4th" on the mall that evening...man that song choked me up big time.

Hey is this Leon by chance?????
