Hoss the pitchman

Don Day | December 28, 2004

You’ve probably heard the Tom Scott spots with Hoss Grigg — but have you seen the TV spot?

There’s Hoss, in all his glory — selling cars. Not your typical pitchman — but a memorable name/face/voice to wrap your campaign around.

    i’ve always found that bitchy comments have more punch when they are grammatically correct.

    turns out, you don’t know.

    Sweet Home Alabama is, as I’ve come to know him, “the other white Matt”, who does work with Mojo in Alabama. Sorry to break the “illusion” Matt. Your calling card gave it away again.

    i honestly didnt think smooch was that bad. but he would never be a top jock at night. theres a few night guys in the market that put on a pretty entertaining show. i guess smooch couldnt hang?

    all those kids on the air must of made the older women tune to something else more fitting.
