Peter Tomarken On Yet Another Infomercial
PeterTomarkensGal:
Well I saw it on RNN at 11 AM today and recorded it. I'll post some screenshots later on.
Don Howard:
This post has me thinking that a whole bunch of emcees have
gone the informercial route along the way--which is the only
reason why I'd ever watch those things.
The list of names I can come up with off the top of my head are
Art Fleming, Peter Marshall, Dennis James, Jim Perry, Art James,
Bob Eubanks, Monty Hall (for the Let's Make A Deal phone
game which included clips from the 70s LMAD) and--of course--
Peter Tomarken.
Who have I left out?

Any ideas what they were promoting besides Hall?

Art Fleming's was about money makers such as Famous Amos and Carleton Sheets. In later years, he did one or two more with Carleton then was seen hosting a show about losing weight by \"listening to pleasant sounds which contained subliminal messages\".
Peter Marshall also hosted one with Carleton. And let me say this about that one. If someone had knocked Peter's script pages to the ground, he would have been hopelessly lost. While watching that, I thought, \"So that's why he got kicked off 3rd Degree\".
Bob Eubanks' show dealt with some automobile product.
Dennis James co-hosted with Frankie Avalon to plug Zero Pain, which I believe was targetted at arthritic persons.
Art James appeared in one 10 or so years ago with Morgan Fairchild and it had something to do with food, but I forget the specifics.
Jim Perry's dealt with some money-making plan. I saw that in 1991.
