Discovery Channel's "Pitchmen" stars the late Billy Mays and Anthony "Sully" Sullivan, two names synonymous with products so indispensible that you can't live without them—and the revelation usually comes at 3 a.m. in the form of an infomercial. Mays and Sullivan have sold millions of cleaners, sweepers, kitchen gadgets and other miracle products to people all over the world. What is the story behind these pitchmen? And who are the inventors who come up with the imaginative products being sold? Go behind the curtain and peek into the world of the clever inventors and the equally clever men who sell their products in "Pitchmen."
Discovery Channel's "Pitchmen" is an all-new 13-part original series that introduces viewers to the dreamers, tinkerers and inventors who believe they have created the next must-have product. If these everyday geniuses can enlist the help of Sully and Mays on "Pitchmen" to sell their goods, they may stand a chance of turning their products into household names—and turning a hefty profit for themselves.
From the initial boardroom pitch to product reactions on the streets to filming the actual infomercial, Discovery Channel's "Pitchmen" will change the way you look at the seemingly ordinary products under your sink or in your toolshed. And just as fascinating are the inventive people who identified a need and created those products.
"Pitchmen" is produced for Discovery Channel by Original Productions. For Original Productions, Thom Beers, Philip D. Segal, Billy Mays, Anthony Sullivan and Chris Wilson are executive producers.
