PitchMen
(original name:
But Wait...There's More
)
[1
]
is a
docudrama
television program produced for the
Discovery Channel in the
United
States. The show followed
infomercial
producers and talent
Billy Mays and
Anthony "Sully" Sullivan as
they attempted to sell various inventions through
direct-response marketing.
The series was narrated by
Thom Beers.
Each episode typically focused on two different products.
[2
]
Each episode typically begins with different inventors pitching
products to the hosts. Two products are then selected and are field
tested with peoples' opinions gathered on the products. If
successful in the field test, an infomercial is then produced and
played in
test markets
after which the inventors are notified of the amount of success
that the commercial generated. For products that generated a
successful level of consumer interest, high praise is given by
Billy and Sully. For products that did not fare as well, the
inventor is notified, and the future of the product is discussed
briefly including the possibility of collaboration on tweaking the
commercial for a later airing date.
It was unknown whether or not the series would continue
following Mays' death on June 28, 2009.

]
The Discovery Channel ran an all day
marathon of episodes on July 1 as
a tribute, which concluded with the season finale, itself edited to
end with a tribute to Mays. On July 9 a special tribute episode
entitled "Pitchman: A Tribute to Billy Mays" aired with comments
from friends, co-workers, and family. The status of the second
season was undecided until July 15, when a press-release was put
out by Discovery to announce that the show would be renewed for a
second season.
