As for Publishing Clearing House claiming they "never had a spokesperson," hmm. Different title??? Different name?? That is definitely a weird one. I clearly remember tons of junk mail with his image on it. If I"m not mistaken, one of the reasons I remember him specifically was because didn't he also host Star Search back in the 1980s? (the prequel to American Idol, and the rest of the "Make Me A Star" TV shows)
