I guess I don't watch that much, but I thought I watched enough. Based on the video you posted it looks like having TiVo pretty much eliminates me from ever hearing this guy make it three words into a sentence. (Unless, of course, somebody posts the video on CP.) I also rarely am motivated to find out the names of people doing annoying T.V. ads.

RIP Billy.
I would have much prefered it was the Scam WOW guy. But he was busy with his hooker I guess and couldn't have done it.

But on second thought, maybe if Clinton had seen a Sham WOW commercial he could have saved himself a lot of problems and embarrassment.

He and another infomercial dude had their own show on TLC or some channel called Pitchmen.

Mays struck me as a very unhealthy fellow.

RIP, Billy. You may have promoted shitty products, but you did not take yourself seriously. You will be missed.

Unreal.. I literally just got done watching a episode of Pitchmen on Discovery channel just a few minutes ago.
Guess that show is done for now.
Rest in Peace Billy.

Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead

Posted Jun 28th 2009 11:50AM by TMZ Staff
<!-- sphereit start -->http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tmz.com/m...s_bn_ap_01.jpgTMZ has confirmed TV pitchman Billy Mays was found dead today in his home in Tampa, Florida early this morning.

According to the Tampa PD, the 50-year-old TV pitchman was found unresponsive by his wife Deborah at 7:45 AM.

TMZ has learned Mays' body has already been removed from his home.

Mays had just returned from Philadelphia, where he shot a new OxiClean commercial. He was a passenger aboard a plane that suffered a blown front tire upon landing. He told a local TV station, "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

We're told Mays was at his home around 6:00 PM last night, and according to a source Mays was "acting fine and normal ... he was talking business with his father-in-law."

According to cops, there are no signs of forced entry to the residence and no foul play is suspected.

The Medical Examiner's office is expected to complete the autopsy by tomorrow afternoon.

Billy's wife Deborah just released the following statement:

Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times.

Wow, he was on Conan this week and the new Playboy that appeared the same day. No indication of poor health.
