Billy Mays, infomercial king, died of an apparent heart attack over the weekend. His products, brands, and strong and identifiable personality will live on. When I first saw an Oxi Clean commercial many years ago, I was so annoyed by it. As time went on though, I found a place in my heart not only for cleaning products, but also for infomercial maven Mr. Billy Mays. Rest in peace, Billy Mays.
Check after the break (click “more…”) for a very recent Billy Mays interview with Conan O’Brien, a video of some funny outtakes, a very young Billy Mays on HSN promoting Oxi Clean, and an Oxi Clean commercial.
