Billy Mays, the well-known and energetic product salesman on TV infomercials and co-host of the series Pitchmen on Discovery Channel, was found dead early yesterday at his home in Tampa, FL. He was 50. Referred to as “king of the infomercial,” Mays began selling products on the boardwalk in Atlantic City then traveled the country working at garden and home shows and other sales exhibits. In 1996, he was selected to sell the Orange Glo cleaning product live on the Home Shopping Network which led to a successful direct response advertising career.
