Re: TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead at Fla. home Billy Mays was a loud pitchman (Oxy Clean, The Awesome Auger, Mighty Putty), but Ed McMahon was really dedicated.
Once, Johnny was holding a bottle of beer as he was introducing a Budweiser commercial. Then, it slipped out of his hand and-crash! Next thing, Ed was on his knees picking up the broken glass. Johnny quipped- "Are you licking the floor?".
Another time, Ed was doing a live Alpo commercial, but the dog wouldn't go near the food, like he did during rehearsals. So, Ed got down on his hand and knees, crawled over to the bowl of dog food and barked.
As Billy might've said, that's awesome!
Too bad Ed and Johnny's funniest stuff isn't shown on TV. Mark F. |

 Mark F join:2007-08-01 Fort Wayne, IN | You could be right, it was quite a while ago. Still, we've lost two great pitchmen recently.
But, maybe the larger-than-life guy in the Extendeez commercials will have a mishap that gets him off the air? Or, the annoying Kevin Trudeau? Or, the shamwow/slapchop guy? Mark F. |

Check out his wikipage....you weren't kidding, dudes a scumbag.
