Billy Mays dead!

[Garry Dean]

OMG! Another celeb? I cant believe it! He was found dead in his Tampa home this morning.

Wow. He was on Conan just the other night.

Thought you were joking, looked it up, can't believe it. Somewhere out there Vince Offer is packing up his Sham-Wow and slap chopper and headed to the big leagues.

.............guess no more fix-a-scratch!

Watch Pitchman all the time. I thought it only came in 3's.

That guy is so annoying, but sad to see anyone get killed.

Airline is already pointing fingers (no seat belt). Every flight that I've been on the flight attendants check to ensure all have seat belts fastened. More believable that something from overhead hit him in the head as he alluded, IMO. Anyway, sad and needless death.

It will never be the same for late night pitchmen ... I probably wont buy Oxi-clean for months.

Very sad. His commercials were loud and in your face but behind the scenes he was known to be a really nice, humble guy and there were always stories of Billy being scene driving around Tampa in his Bentley.

He's been on the MJ Morning Show in Tampa a lot lately to promote his TV show but he also made time to have some fun and you could tell when listening that Billy was sincere and having a good time.

He had just landed a deal to do an ad campaign for Taco Bell too.

I got a kick out him pulling up to a McDonald's drive through for the morning radio show:
