My 15 Minutes of Fame

Yep, this is me and they still seem to be playing this commercial, because people still keep telling me that they saw me on TV.

This was a strange little turn of events that lead to me appearing in this commercial for an anti-snoring device. We attended a focus group where they showed us the device and asked how much any of us would pay, or whether we would even buy something like it off of a TV ad. I said that it seemed like a good idea for a product, but that I had never bought anything off of the television and wasn't likely to. They paid all of us $60 bucks a piece and that was that...or so we thought.

About two weeks later, I got a call from the Puresleep folks asking if I would be interested in trying one of their devices. I said sure, why not? It was free and I figured that it might even help with my snoring, which had gotten rather epic.

I tried it and it worked, and I told them that. A little while later they asked if I wanted to be in their infomercial. I said yes, and this commercial is the result.

It has been an interesting experience because they seem to run this commercial all the time on certain cable stations. I have only seen it live a few times but I have bee approached by many co-workers at various different places who all say, "Are you on TV?"

Yep, but I haven't made a dime (nor will I) and so far, no Hollywood agents have come beating down my door with offers for the PureSleep movie.
