Poker Deposit BonusBilly Mays and Anthony Sullivan to Star in Reality TV Show?
June 11th, 2008 Paul Lucas
I came across this article in the St. Petersburg Times describing an infomercial shoot in which longtime infomercial pitchman Billy Mays fires a “bug bazooka” filled with crickets at a windshield to demo a windshield wiper called the “GatorBlade.” You’ll want to check out the picture of Billy Mays holding the bug bazooka, which is priceless.
More interesting than the main article, however, is the info in the box at the end of the article. Apparently Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan (best known for the Swivel Sweeper) have signed a production deal with the producers of The Deadliest Catch for a reality TV show called Pitch Men about their lives in the infomercial and direct sales business.
(Now if we could only get them to teach a class at the Learning Annex…)
If they can add Santo Victor Rigatuso, aka Santo Gold, to the mix somehow then they’ve got a viewer for the life of the show. Perhaps they could also get Jan Muller, Ron “ExtenZe” Jeremy & Ron Popeil to throw down.
Here’s hoping….

I hate both of them (Billy Mays with an exceptionally heated passion), but I admit I would DEFINITELY watch a show with them in it, for the laughs.

Has anyone seen the new Billy Mays Healthcare Insurance infomercial yet?! My husband and I paused in shock when we first viewed it, unable to tear ourselves away from the bizarre spectacle. There he is, blue utility shirt and all, pushing MEDICAL INSURANCE in the exact same voice that he employs when selling Mighty Putty. We fully expected Bill to burst out “But wait, if you call within the next 10 minutes, your first ER visit is FREE!” Please post this infomercial on your website soon, we gotta know what’s behind the scenes on this one!
