"One of the guys from the lab fell asleep the night before watching something on TLC, and he flipped on the TV that morning while he was getting dressed. The instant it came on, there I was." 

"He couldn't believe it, but the commercial even had my name, so he came into work, looked it up on the website, and proceeded to copy the link and send it to the entire analytics group. The subject line was requiring of many asterisks, ampersands, and snoopy-swears about how no one was going to believe what he just found. And from there it spread." 

"So, on the day when I was already a complete nervous wreck, trying to pretend it was just a normal work day and muddle through, I had people coming over to my desk... they were presenting post-it pads for autographs and chuckling."

 "I think I really am the last person you would expect to do something like this. I have No Hollywood aspirations, I haven't done any acting on the side. I'm a science nerd -- c'mon!"

"But just yesterday, the head of HR came up to me in the break room and said, 'I have to tell you something. My daughter was changing channels the other night, looking for a house flipping show, and a commercial came on. There you were! I told her I thought I knew you, and she didn't believe me. Then I called my husband into the room and your name came on the screen and I was yelling, 'That's her! That's her!' Then she asked me, 'When the heck did you DO that?' "

"I was an idiot to think I could keep a secret like that -- I just kept thinking, it's cable -- no one watches cable, right?"
