Great show! Ron is truly one of the last of a dying breed, who, out of necessity and drive, went out and did it! Sorry you didn't mention that one of your longtime network mainstays' sidekick also started on the Boardwalk...Ed MacMahon! Thanks again!
So Brian, what did you end up buying from Mr. Popeil? Great story.
Now I know what drives Mr. Popeil's success: four wives and five daughters. I can't wait to buy one of his new olive oil deep fryers!
that was a great story,the american dream for sure!
His infomercials finally wore me down and I bought one of the big Showtime Rotisseries a few years ago. Best thing I ever did!!!! Have turkey once a week and it has performed great over the years. Keep up the good work Ron!!!
What's with the bottle of Crisco Oil offhandedly slipped into the scene by the lady in pink as Brian and Ron were shaking hands? Ron uses olive oil and not so much Crisco oil!??
