While acting on the sitcom Dear John Judd Hirsch also was the spokesman for Whirlpool Appliances in the 1980's appearing in their commercials. I found his debut commercial for Whirlpool Appliances and it starts with Judd telling his wife about their Whirlpool Appliances and he was a funny guy in these commercials. This commercial that I found might be from 1980 but I never knew Judd Hirsch did these commercials because he also appeared in Swiss Miss commercials in the 80's and 90's too. When did Whirlpool start using Judd Hirsch in their commercials and how and why Whirlpool choose him to do commercials?
