Discovery Channel Announces New Series “Pitchmen” Premiering April 15

ALL-NEW DISCOVERY SERIES CELEBRATES THE INGENUITY OF INVENTORS AND THE ART OF SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS

– PITCHMEN Premieres Wednesday, April 15 at 10PM ET/PT

(Silver Spring, Md.) Billy Mays and Anthony “Sully” Sullivan are two names synonymous with products so indispensible that you can’t live without them and the revelation usually comes at 3 a.m. in the form of an infomercial. Mays and Sullivan have sold millions of cleaners, sweepers, kitchen gadgets and other miracle products to people all over the world. What is the story behind these pitchmen? And who are the inventors who come up with the imaginative products being sold? Go behind the curtain and peek into the world of the clever inventors and the equally clever men who sell their products in PITCHMEN, premiering Wednesday, April 15 at 10PM ET/PT.

This all-new 13-part original series introduces viewers to the dreamers, tinkerers and inventors who believe they have created the next must-have product. If these everyday geniuses can enlist the help of Sully and Mays to sell their goods, they may stand a chance of turning their products into household namesand turning a hefty profit for themselves.

From the initial boardroom pitch to product reactions on the streets to filming the actual infomercial, this revealing series will change the way you look at the seemingly ordinary products under your sink or in your toolshed. And just as fascinating are the inventive people who identified a need and created those products.

PITCHMEN is produced for Discovery Channel by Original Productions. For Original Productions, Thom Beers, Philip D. Segal, Billy Mays, Anthony Sullivan and Chris Wilson are executive producers. Jeff Conroy is co-executive producer and Steve Jones is series producer. For Discovery Channel, Chris Rantamaki is executive producer.

1. LOL. I've never seen "Sully," but Billy Mays is on all the time...

I've always wondered why he needs to shout. Is he hard of hearing or does he think people will pay more attention if he makes them jump? :shrug:

5. 'There's more to sellin' than the yellin'!"

Sully to Billy, in the ad for "Pitchmen"!

7. OMG! Are they rivals?! LOL. I had no idea!

I'll look for "Sully," but I really don't think I've seen him and I do watch a lot of television... :-) Either Billy Mays has a monopoly in my neck-of-the-woods, or he's just too hard to miss... :rofl: BTW, why wasn't his nickname "Willie?" :shrug: :D

I'm just now watching "Naked Gun 2/12: The Smell of Fear" (1991) on HBO. It's the one where "Barbara Bush" keeps having all these slapstick accidents. Remember seeing it at the movies back in the day, and laughing hysterically even back then... :rofl: ;)

They share seats on the board of their ad/pitchman agency
