"PitchMen" Returning to Discovery in August

If you've ever wondered how Discovery could carry on the highly entertaining reality series "PitchMen" without the highly electric personality of the late Billy Mays, you're about to get your answer.

The second season of the Discovery Channel series will begin on Aug. 21 starring the other "pitchman," Andrew "Sully" Sullivan.






"PitchMen" will pick up where the first season left off, with our intrepid infomercial maverick traveling the country looking for new and exciting products to sell insomniacs and soap opera watchers around the world.

Sadly, he'll be doing it without his old partner in crime. Mays passed away last year after suffering a heart-attack, and an autopsy would later reveal that he had cocaine in his system at the time of his death.







Mays' son, Billy Mays III, will fill his late father's blue shirt for the second season.

It isn't known if he'll have much of a role in front of or behind the camera, but it's nice to know that Billy's presence and spirit hasn't completely disappeared from the series.
