John O'Hurley..."They treat me like The Sultan of Umbwahbwah". He played Mr. Peterman" on Seinfeld. He was also the runner-up (and who actually should've WON) on Dancing With The Stars. He also is the announcer for the "National Dog Show" on NBC on Thanksgiving Day.

EDIT: Ok, so it took me awhile to get around to hitting "submit"...Christy beat me to the punch


One of my favorite commercials is one from many moons ago...the Alka-Seltzer commercial---"I can't believe I ate the WHOLE thing!"

Others are the series of VW commercials from the '60's...the animated "Meet Harry The Swinger"
([i]"Meet Harry the Swinger {Harry's driving a Karmann Ghia}...then Harry got married {Harry & wife are driving in bug}; one day the stork arrived {Harry, wife & child in VW squareback]...then one day his mother-in-law came to visit; she never left {everybody in VW Bus}...Harry went to the store for milk; he never returned---{long pause}---meet Harry the Swinger" {Harry's driving solo in a Karmann Ghia again}

and

"Max's Will"

("...to my brother whose only motto was "spend, spend, spend", I leave "nothing, nothing, nothing! And, to my nephew Harold who oft times said "A penny saved is a penny earned" and who also oft times said "Gee, Uncle Max it sure pays to own a Volkswagen"...I leave my entire estate of one hundred million dollars)
