Ok, we’re kidding about that last item, made famous by a mock “Saturday Night Live” commercial. But the business of “As Seen on TV” products is a serious and growing one – an industry that tops $150 billion in annual sales,...

In April 2009, Discovery Channel premiered "Pitchmen," a reality series, created by Thom Beers ("Deadliest Catch," "The Colony"), that followed the exploits of two Florida-based infomercial producers and personalities, best pals and partners Billy Mays Jr. and Anthony "Sully" Sullivan.
The show was an immediate success, but the happiness turned to grief when Mays died suddenly on June 28, 2009, at the age of 50, less than a week after appearing with Sullivan on "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien."
This threw the future of the show into question. It's taken a while to, first, decide if there should be a show without Mays; second, decide what shape that show should take; and third, actually produce the episodes.
But on Thursday, Aug. 19, Discovery premieres the 10-episode second season of "Pitchmen," focusing on Sullivan, with appearances by Mays' son, Billy Mays III, who works with Sullivan off-camera.

Billy Mays -- the late great pitchman -- will be selling again tonight, but this time it's images of Billy himself that will be raking in the cash. Billy's " Pitchmen " hosting successor Anthony Sullivan is throwing a party for tonight's premiere episode in Tampa, Fl -- and the bash will feature an auction of Billy-inspired works of art. We're told several of the art pieces were created by crew members from the show, including Anthony.

Despite the death of crab-boat Capt. Phil Harris, Discovery Channel's "The Deadliest Catch," which launches its sixth season in April, will likely get a seventh season, because, as executive producer Thom Beers points out, it's an "ensemble show."
But the reality hit "PitchMen," which premiered to great ratings on Discovery in April 2009, didn't have an ensemble in its first season. It was a buddy show, featuring the professional and personal relationship of infomercial kings Billy Mays and Anthony "Sully" Sullivan, as they crafted ads to showcase the work of entrepreneurs and inventors.
Mays' sudden death on June 28, at the age of 50, threw the future of the show into doubt. Questions were raised whether the show would continue with Sullivan alone, whether Mays' twentysomething son, Billy Mays III, would be involved, and, indeed, whether the show would continue at all.
Last July, Discovery announced the show would return, but little has been announced since then.

The death of Billy Mays has perplexed a lot of overseas readers not grasping why the late night pitchman's passing has received so much attention. Mays possessed a sly humor and effervescent energy that made every product he hawked at you a believable deal. His style of promotion never came off as insincere, and that is why so many manufacturers sought him out. His charisma was such that Discovery Channel fashioned a popular reality series, "Pitchmen" that paired Mays with Anthony Sullivan. The show followed the adventures of Mays and "Sully" Sullivan, the most famous and successful pitchmen in history, as they search the world for inventions they believe they can take all the way to the big time.

If you didn't know his name, you probably knew his face - or at least his booming voice. But long before his rise to infomercial greatness, Billy Mays - the ubiquitous TV pitchman who died suddenly over the weekend - was just a guy hawking goods on the Atlantic City boardwalk, hoping not for fame but for somebody to buy his cheap gadgets. In an interview with People in March, a spirited Mays, who grew up outside Pittsburgh and played semi-pro football before he tried his luck as a pitchman at the New Jersey seaside resort, recalled his early working days.
