man, i really didn't care much for the others, but.... BILLY MAYS MAN! so unfair. i wonder if there still going to show "Pitchmen" this Wednesday. i remember watching a commercial for a fly catcher last night. this sucks.

Bad week to be 50 years old I guess....... Bad week to be a celebrity.

I am a little bummed about this guy- I have no idea what kind of person he was, but I know he made something out of nothing and ended up being very successful. You gotta respect that.

yeah, that guy is sketchy.

 

[Goober]

I'm in shock. This guy was at are hotel with his family not more then 3 weeks ago. Very nice walking around shaking hands and having a good time. I can't believe this.

i couldn't find the remote to change the channel fast enough when this guy came on. too bad for people close to him though.

What about David Carradine. He went just a few weeks ago, granted it was by his own hand, in a way.

Bet these were all in the same week. Just really weird.

This totally sucks. Great American entrepreneur, a great personality and great show.

As a grass-roots, entrepreneur myself, I could identify with Billy and the show completely and never missed an episode.

He will be sorely missed!

Rest in peace Billy and prayers for your family and friends.

I resemble that remark, I thought 50 was the new 30.

I guess this will give the Sham WOW guy some work but he's a real piece of work.

Billy Mays is a great American! I have a couple of products that I was going to pitch to the pitchman.

 

[FlyHiFlyLo]

Maybe they could have used some "Mighty Putty" to seal Mike's blown out heart valve.... Just as I was reading this thread the commercial came on. Yeah this guy was a good spokesman... Not as good as Ron Popeal but pretty darn good...

RIP Big Bill
