He was a legendary television personality in American advertisement and will be remembered for promoting cleaning and household products. His eye-catching beard and charismatic sales pitches turned him into a recognized television presence. ( Before he was hired on the Home Shopping Network he travelled across the United States for 12 years as a sales-person. )
