It’s time to be honest with ourselves. The truth is there is no real secret to Pizza Hut’s precious recipe.

Clearwater Studio and Marc Gill Hosts Ronco’s Big New Pitch

Marc Gill, pitchman for Ronco, right, and Bluewater Media Senior Producer David Tiberia go over a script during a break in filming an infomercial for the Ready Grill in Clearwater. The company hopes the Ready Grill does for Ronco what the rotisserie oven and Pocket Fisherman did to establish it as the brand Americans once craved.

With his bald head, sculpted beard, gleaming smile, booming voice and burly build, TV pitchman Marc Gill stands behind the fake kitchen counter like a caffeinated pirate in a red and black chef’s coat.

Pitchman Jeff Gordon NASCAR Champ does Another test drive for NASCAR

Remember that Jeff Gordon / Pepsi video last year?

The test drive one? Well, the four-time champion and his sponsor are back at it with a new one.

This one purports to be a payback on skeptic Travis Okulski of the car news and gossip site Jalopnik.

Judge for yourself. As with the first one, I’d say that regardless of whether the video on the up and up or not, it’s fun and engaging.

Bob Dylan Joins Our List Of Rock’s Least Likely TV Pitchmen

Bruno Mars may have been the true winner of last night’s Super Bowl, but Bob Dylan wins the award for blowing the most minds. The quintessential rock ‘n’ roll rebel stunned fans by appearing in a commercial for Detroit’s own Chrysler, urging folks to ”Let Germany brew your beer, let Switzerland make your watch, let Asia assemble your phone…

We will build your car.” The ad is not the first time that Dylan has appeared in a commercial (check 2004′s Victoria’s Secret spot), or even the first time he’s schilled cars (try 2007′s Chrysler Escalade ad), but most fans still found it pretty surprising. The craziest part? That wasn’t even his only ad of the night! Read on to see 15 of the most shocking rock stars-turned-pitchmen of all time!

Good and Bad “As Seen on TV” Products

In part one of this story, we covered six products that do not live up to the advertising claims. They included the Eggstractor, the GripGo, StirCrazy, InstaHang, the Steam Buddy, and the most ridiculous of all, the UroClub. Now there are also some good As Seen on TV products out there. Some of them are so good they would be a bargain at twice the price. After talking to friends and colleagues and reading reviews online, six products live up to their claims. Billy Mays would be proud. And it should be noted that no samples were provided, and the writer is not receiving any compensation for these reviews.
