Did you like slow down the part with David?

[AdamNedeff]

Yes. He whizzed right by at almost-subliminal speed and I tinkered with it so you could actually see who he was.

[SuperCruiser72]

If Michael Feffer's not a game show host, then why is this person in this video?

[AdamNedeff]

Because I thought Geoff Edwards' fans would find it interesting.

[Tubewings]

Nice collection. Hey, do you have the Kellogg's commercials with Peter Marshall where they throw the boxes at him?

[AdamNedeff]

Believe me, it would have been here if I did. Ditto the live commercial with Gene Rayburn talking to "himself," played by Peter Marshall.

[MrBennetzen]

Dennis James also was in Rocky III.

[SaleGuy]

Bob Barker in State Farm! lol

[bluebear1985]

There was a Pontiac commercial at some time which had Gene Rayburn in it. I heard that it's supposed to be in a dream where he talks to himself. Since it was live, they needed to hire another actor to play the other Gene, so they hired a then unknown Peter Marshall.

David Ruprecht deserved better than a split-second (no pun intended).

Then again, this was probably before Supermarket Sweep came along--which means he was just another actor looking for a break.

Jim Perry hosted Card Sharks, Definition, Headline Chasers, and Sale of the Century.

I remember my mother giving me milk money for school.

[Hondo20132]

Can you ask me what shows you got these from?

[jwgreek8606]

I remember the Mountain Dew commercial which had Rod Roddy as announcer it was when Mountain Dew was promoting their pagers.

I also recall seeing Chuck Woolery in commercials for Clear Magic (a stain remover) and 1-800-COLLECT. I've also seen Wink Martindale in commercials for Bud Dry and Mountain Dew, and, of course, Orbitz.

[jwgreek8606]

Chuck Woolery appeared on a commercial around 2004 and he appeared on a commercial for Primestar around 1997. And Wink Martindale appeared in commercials for Virginia Lottery around 1999.
