I agree with above poster, except to me it sounds more like an old girlfriend that's left behind rather than old friends.

Anyway, I think the whole "think you see him" part is meant quite literally. This star is on TV so he appears to be in the room but he's really not. Two hours later there'll be some other show on the telly.
