TV personality

What makes someone a "TV personality"?

Naturally they have to appear on TV from time to time. But they can't be too well-known; if they were, the label wouldn't be required.

A new plaque on the Market Hill reveals that we will be graced with the presence of Helen McDermott on Thursday. There's another clue: if she was particularly famous, the council would capitalise on the event by holding it on a weekend.

Confirmation finally came via Google: local newsreader. I won't be putting in an appearance.
