Did anyone else just watch the Billy Mays Pitchmen Tribute on Discovery?

I admit, I was actually tearing up a little bit. Especially when Sully and Billy's son talked, and when you saw Billy with his daughter.

RIP.
 
i was so sad when he died. i loved pitchmen and i loved seeing his commercials. i did just watch the tribute, and it made me cry.
 
No, I didn't know it was on. His voice kind of annoyed me, to be honest. Nonetheless, his death was absolutely tragic and unexpected. While his voice annoyed me, I understand it was to make a living. And he did a pretty good job at it too - my mom has used OxiClean and Orangeglow ever since. He was better than that ShamWow guy though.
 

Awe I didn't even know he had a tribute show on :( I loved all of his commerc ials! He had that like...pizzaze needed for a salesman. His death was so sad :(
Did they ever reveal whether or not him hitting his head was the cause of death?

Yes, he def had the pizzaz! He was a GREAT salesman.

No, the head bump wasn't involved. They said he had some heart issue that was notorious for health problems and stuff.

& He defff wasn't as annoying as the Sham-Wow guy lol.

Oooh. Awe how sad! I know they said he told his wife he wasn't feeling good before he went to bed too. It's a shame they didn't go to the hospital just in case. Like since he did hit his head, they could've got that checked out & found out the other problems. :/
 
i read on his group on facebook that people are now considering july 20 (his bday) national caps lock day.

Unless it was chest pains or insane headaches/pain/whatever, I don't see them going to the ER, especially if his condition was unknown.

Sometimes accidents are a blessing in disguise, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. God must've needed him a whole lot more, and his Oxi Clean too. ;) Now the Heavens will be nice and bright white all the time!

Yeahh, but like with Natasha Richardson, she could've survived if they went to doctor's right away when she hit her head skiing just in case even though she didn't really have any pain. But if Billy Mays went then like they could see nothing was wrong with his head & see his other condition. Idk, it's such a shame.

Hahah very true. Could you imagine his entrance? "HEY GOD, BILLY MAYS HERE!"

I like that.
I'll do it.

No I didn't see it.
I wish I could've. I really truly liked Billy Mays.

Well, they should've taken him anyways. He was in very rough landing where he had a head injury, sounds plausible to take him to the ER.
 
I didn't know there was a tribute on. If I knew I would've watched it. Its really sad that he died. :(

in psychology classes, you hear about head injuries ALL the time. they are SO serious. Any time someone gets hit in the head, its a good idea to go to the doctor.

i don't know if it would have helped him, here, considering he died of a heart condition, i'm not sure if the heart condition (that had been undected so long) would have been detected during that examination, but there's always a possibility. :confused3
