Even
after commercials were taped, the sponsors still wanted J.P. to do the ads because when he
endorsed it, kids bought it. (I know, I still have a pair of clown slippers
"J.P." sold me 30 years ago)
In the beginning, because the show was live, so were the
ads. This meant that J.P. did all the ads himself.
"Who, when he saw the first sand or ashes, by a casual intenseness of heat, melted into a metalline form, rugged with excrescences, and clouded with impurities, would have imagined, that in this shapeless mass would turn into smething useful like a glass? Neat huh? I mean without glasses we couldn't see or have anything to put Kool-Aid in!
