Met Him And Won't Forget Him
Posted By:Darren Rovell
Topics:Consumers | Marketing | Advertising | Sports
Last week, I spent time with infomercial product king Ron Popeil, who will be part of my documentary "As Seen On TV."
The show will air at 9 p.m./1 a.m. ET on Wednesday, April 22.
The Popeil name is behind such products as the Chop-O-Matic, the Veg-O-Matic, the Pocket Fisherman, GLH Formula #9, the Ronco Food Dehydrator and the Showtime Rotisserie ("Set It, And Forget It!"). Ron will be revealing his final invention to us in the show.
For your viewing pleasure, here are some shots of Ron and I, taken at his Beverly Hills home.
