Did Billy Mays ever imagine he would be doing what he is today? Here's what Wikipedia has to say about him:
"William D. Mays (born July 20, 1958) is a television commercial and infomercial salesperson most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo, and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products. He is recognizable for having a shouting approach to pitching an array of products, a distinctive beard, and for wearing a blue shirt."
Then there's KaBoom, Mighty Mend-it, Hercules Hook and that putty stuff that can hold a gazillion pounds when dried.
Wikipedia goes on to say regarding Mays' first big break promoting OrangeGlo on HSN,
"Customer response to Mays' sales pitches were enthusiastic, with a sharp increase in sales after his first day on the network, although some reviews were poor. He is very well known for shouting in lieu of talking during infomercials and regular life."
What a guy.
