How many TV commercials have you watched over the years? Do you recognize the commerical announcer or pitchman for the products that they advertise? For instance, the M*A*S*H crew doing commercials for Xerox. Happy Days' Al Molinaro as Al the Grocer in the En-Cor Frozen Dinner commercials, back in the late 90's and early 2000s. Tom Bosley announcing for and pitching in thousands of TV commercials over the years, including Shasta Cola, Glad Trash Bags, Sears and most recently, America On-Line. Sherman Hemsley in the Old Navy commercials. We've seen Bill Cosby in those memorable Jell-O ads. There are so many TV ads I've seen with notable announcers or pitchmen, I can't name them all, right now, so think of some commercials you've seen with a memorable announcer and/or pitchmen for the product they advertise.

Candice Bergen was also a spokeswoman for Sprint (?). I know it was some phone company. Susan Sullivan (Dharma & Greg) was spokeswoman for Tylenol for years. Dick Wilson, who played the drunk on Bewitched, went on to worldwide fame as Mr. Whipple in the Charmin ads. Gordon Jump of WKRP was the Maytag man for many years.
