Contestant on The Dating Game? (Is that still a thing?)

Celebrity Jeopardy! I'd actually like to see that one.

They run into him during an episode of Cops.

He's not an actor, but a studio contracts with him to help with the set and special effects (wind effects, blowing clouds away for a sunny outdoor scene, lifting heavy set pieces, getting really spectacular arial shots)

He's the halftime entertainment at the Super Bowl

Some super villain tries to ruin the Super Bowl, and Superman stops him. Due to collateral damage, the planned halftime entertainment can't go on, so Superman takes over and does stunts or something. Maybe he plays a one-man game against himself using super speed. Borrow the Weather Wizard from the Flash for the villain; he tries to make a big storm to ruin the game.

In the comics way back when, he was often doing charity shows for orphans and stuff like that. I remember one issue mentioned that Superman's schedule was published in the newspaper. (Which seems like a really bad idea.) He was frequently quite busy doing some sort of circus-like show-off-his-powers event.

There was one comic story where someone was making a movie about Superman, and Superman was playing himself. Lois wasn't happy about the actress they got to play her. I should track that down because I only vaguely remember the story. It was probably in the '60s, so having Superman play himself would save a lot on special effects.

This raises the question though: Is Superman a good actor or a bad actor? I think Clark would play Superman as a bad actor, especially since his disguise relies heavily on him being a good one.


"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
