Vicki Lawrence is in an infomercial! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PZelda · 06-19-2009, 09:32 AM

I was just channel-surfing a few minutes ago, and landed on a channel playing an infomercial for the Big Boss Grill. And guess what, she's the spokesperson for that product. Imagine my surprise!

I can't find any videos of that infomercial with her in it... but keep your eyes peeled for it. It seems to be a fairly new infomercial. Mama can even be heard at one point in it, altho Mama doesn't actually make any appearances.

It's in the first post, for Big Boss Grill.

I tried looking for a video clip of it when I first saw her in that infomercial, but didn't have any luck. I just looked again... Still no luck.

I did, however, find this:

Well she can probably use the paycheque since she hasn't been working a lot lately. (asside from the occasional guest appearance as Hannah Montana's grandma!)

Umm... you do know she has a traveling show, right?

"Vicki Lawrence and Mama: The Two-Woman Show." She's been doing it since 2002, but it seems to have slowed down a bit. I think 2002 - 2006 were the peak years for her. I saw her live in 2003, 2004 and 2005... met her in person in 2003 and 2004.

Didn't she also publish a book not too long ago?

Yep! Under her Thelma Harper persona, though. Mama For President.

You just reminded me I still need to buy the book. I am a bad fan.

I'd like to read it myself one of these days. You can pick up the book at the same time you pick up S1 of Newhart.

Gawd, no kidding. I can't believe I forgot about Newhart coming out to DVD.

Especially now that my mom and I have both been watching it on WGN.

I just couldn't believe my eyes. Vicki with a Big Boss Grill. And they even had the nerve to insert the Mama voice at the end of product...

PZelda · 10-20-2009, 12:56 PM

Just so you know, 88survivor, I merged your thread with this one... I've been trying to look for that commercial on youtube to post here, but to no avail. I laughed at the Mama voice, as well!
