Billy Mays!

In case you’re wondering: Yes, that biggest celebrity of them all, infomercial salesman Billy Mays, is in Philadelphia right now. (Or was last night. I assume he hasn’t left yet.) Truly, we are in the presence of a legend. Now where are David Oreck and the Shamwow guy?

Idea for GPTMC: Get him to film a spot for the city while he’s here! “Hi, Billy Mays here for Philadelphia. Look, we have Betsy Ross’ original flag here in a wind tunnel and my Mighty Mend It has kept this colonial relic safe.” But then I guess they’d have to give out six nights of hotel stays for the price of one, so maybe it’s not the best idea.

Cole Hamels Is The Next Billy Mays

Forget the parade. Cole Hamels has signed a deal to sell autographed balls, bats and other memorabilia. But wait, there’s more!

Tonight, Hamels will be on QVC shilling stuff! Set your DVRs!

As part of the agreement, Hamels… will appear on QVC Friday between 8 and 11 p.m., during which time Mounted Memories and MAB Celebrity Sports will be selling a full line of World Series items including a selection of products signed by the pitcher.

Three hours hawking products on QVC! Now that’s a great way to spend your Friday night after winning World Series MVP.
