TB Bassists on TV?

I was just wrapping up watching The Voice and wondering if any TBers blaze the stages of any of these singing, dancing or variety shows. With all the realities show on the networks these days there appears to be a few more opportunities then in the past. Anyone?
 
I play bass and I'm the MD for Blake Shelton and still haven't played on The Voice! Blake did his new single on the show last week and the network really pushed to use the house band. I was at the taping tonight and have been to a few others and the band is just smoking...plus it was much easier logistically for them to use the house band for one song, but I was bummed we didn't get to do it! We did DWTS a little while back and that was really cool.

Hey Rob-
It's John Thomasson the bass player/MD for Little Big Town. It's good to see you on here. Hopefully we have some more shows coming up together. You always sound great and it's fun to watch you guys.
 
Hey John good to see you on here buddy! Probably see you pretty soon when we start playing the sheds this summer. Gimme a shout and we'll meet up for coffee.

Matt that's a cool gig buddy, Xenia is a super talented young lady and what a sweetheart! Hope to meet ya soon. Rob
