Don't know about you guys but I got a kick out of Billy Mays. Never bought any of the stuff he was hocking but he was a great pitchman!

Dan,



I agree Billy Mays was great pitchman, pity he died so young and yes I purchased silly (silly isn't it) putty from him. Have good Sunday,

So Now They Die In 4's What The Heck??????!!!!!

I don't know about you guys but the MJ 24/7 is getting really old. I enjoyed his music, but later he just became one sick human being, very sad. However, running this stuff all the time about him is just too much.

Perfect spot for "Vince" from shamwow to cut in.

Add another to the list - Impressionist Fred Travalena, a headliner in Vegas showrooms and a regular on late-night talk shows with his takes on presidents, crooners and screen stars, has died in Los Angeles. He was 66.

There's a "blast from the past"- about 25 years ago, during summer vacation from law school, the going wage for "legal interns" in Seattle was $7 per hour. By the time I took the ferry across the sound, paid for parking and bus ride, and child care for 3 kids, I'd have been lucky to make a buck an hour. So I stayed home and was Mr. Mom that summer. One of the highlights of our day was watching a crazy program called "Anything for Money", hosted by the zany Fred Travalena. He would offer money to people selected on the street to do something ridiculous, and often embarassing, like giving a speech on the street corner, trying to sell an extremely ugly little dog to passersby, etc. The kids loved it. Fred added a lot with his antics.

I've already got my tickets reserved for the 200th! Where are YOU gonna be? Hey, if you can't make it, then make sure you and I do introductions and get a chance to hang around together, that way I can relate all the crazy stories we had at the 100th.

Well add one more, Gale Storm! When I was very very young I remember watching "My Little Margie" on very early morning reruns. This was circa 1959 - 1960. She was 87! The show started its run in 1952, wow that was on the cutting edge.

Here are her details

Wow it continues, Karl Malden, age 97!

That reminds me of my favorite one-liner from "The Johnny Carson Show" with Johnny as "Carnac the Magnificent"

Carnac: The fear of having Karl Malden walk up to you on the street and ask to borrow your hankerchief :eek:
