No, his TV shows fall way after the cutoff, but this commercial, made when he was running for guv'nor in 1980 makes up for that.

I had no clue he once ran for governor.

Wait, wait, wait, are you freaking kidding me?! This guy ran for governor?? Holy crap! I'm so glad he didn't make it!

I've heard him interviewed, and he has some smart observations on an array of subjects. He was a Cincinnati city councilman, and briefly served as mayor (this was when its mayor was selected from among council members, not directly elected). Like Maury Povich, who was a fine local TV anchorman in Washington, hosting a talk show turned him into a parody of himself...even as the money kept rolling in.
