Poker Deposit BonusSee Kevin Trudeau and His Natural Cures Book Exposed and Mocked
May 8th, 2008 Paul Lucas
Here are two must see videos for any “fan” of infomercial pitchman Kevin Trudeau, author of Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to About, The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You to Know About, and Debt Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About.
The first is a report from investigative reporter John Stossel that aired on the TV show 20/20 in 2006:
The thing that was most striking to me in that report was that Tammy Faye Bakker actually hosted one of Kevin Trudeau’s infomercials!! How in the world could I have missed that one?!
I’m also sorry I never saw that infomercial where he used some kind of tape to cure pain!
And after seeing that you’ll really appreciate this Mad TV sketch in which “Robin Kirkly” promotes his book “Miracle Natural Cures Formula” on an infomercial:
A very funny sketch that nicely captures Trudeau’s mixture of greed and paranoia.
Trudeau spent $22 million dollars in ONE YEAR on his scam infomercials?!!

I remember the Tammy Faye interview. It aired in 2006, but it didn’t last long (she died obviously).

She also reportedly regretted doing the infomercial.

This “fan” appreciates the videos. :)
I love the sketch; they did a great job mocking him, and the set even looks like one from the infomercials.
