I can shitpost
I think recognizing a person by hearing them once would be useful as:
- spy
- bouncer
- detective
- headhunter
- diplomat

It's a sign of intelligence to be able to "connect the dots", so arguably this is a transferable skill.
Put OP on monitoring CCTV.
"Enhance, OP! Enhance!"
I did that for a while, and I’ll be exaggerating my uselessness but here goes.
“No, that can’t be him. See, the man who did the robbery was wearing a pair of pantyhose on his face. This guy has no such article of clothing on his face. His friend had on a ski mask, I don’t see a ski mask on this man’s face. Yeah, they’re wearing the same shoes but what about the face coverings, hmmmmm?”
"Hey, that guy stealing all our stuff was in Frasier!"
I’m terrible at this. [It’s maybe because I watch my shows in black and white due to a cognitive processing disability].
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_recogniser A latent skill perhaps?
Also the new Dad in Will Trent is Bob the Street Tough from Seinfeld.
I have facial blindness but I'm a super recognizer of voices.
My SO identifies people by their teeth. Scary as f for me. Like a Zorro would have caught if he opened his mouth.
I have the same addiction, but with voice actors.
That's a niche skill I like it!
I kinda have both. I have to know if that cardassian holographic doctor was someone in scrubs. And why do I recognize the chicken from the chicken ad in Bojack horseman and how is it not Terry Crews?
Wasn't the cardassian holographic doctor on Doogie Howser?
No but he was in a lot of medical shows
Don't give me the remote when watching a show on Prime. That X-Ray feature is dope.
Me, refusing to look up the straight answer online and trying to find the FRIENDS apartment only using the intro, going on Google Street View and finding it, before GeoguessR became a thing.
This goes beyond financial viability. For the sake of shared trivia amongst strangers, does anyone know the connection? I'm not very familiar with the former, but I'm fairly versed in Seinfeld.
If you give me a pair of knipex snips, I can tell you the generic resin of a polymeric material by cutting it.
I wonder whether I could stump you. The place where I work makes a couple of very niche polymers.
Clearly you don't know how I clearly know this clearly isn't true? Well, it's simple, you didn't use the word clearly nearly enough.
Seriously, go to IMDb and look at any big TV series or movie then go to the goofs section and look for all the very smug 'clearly' remarks.
"The stunt man was clearly wearing a wig to make him look like a woman"..."watch the background to see that George Clooney was clearly not driving the car" etc etc.
And every single time the word brings nothing to the point being made. Nothing. It's just out there by the person to show how clever they are for spotting it.
'clearly' is IMDb's version of "well, ackchualllyyyy"
You’re clearly overthinking this
My skill? Boring, I wanna talk about people with between zero and one lines on a show ages ago.
Teri Hatcher played a slut on the sitcom Night Court in the late eighties. That's unfair, she was a sex worker and sex work should not be illegal but I remember her as playing a slut.
...to quote my boss from my third professional job: "i may be a whore, but at least i'm not a slut: sluts don't get paid"...
Northernlion build his entire career of bering the good of trivia, so it is viable. But not as easy as some other careers to get started in
His general knowledge is insane. But what drew me in was his whit.
