News Anchor and Bathtub Salesman.... HUH?
It used to be if a TV Anchor was seen promoting or selling a product, they would become an ex-news anchor very quickly.
Now-a-days it seems that management does not bat an eye at their talent shilling products. It happens more and more on social media and other places.
Out at KTLA in Los Angeles, Weekend Anchor Rick Chambers can be seen delivering the news. But, you might also catch Chambers on an infomercial selling bathtubs with doors on them.
Here is one such infomercial featuring the KTLA Anchor and one can only wonder how a company like Tribune is OK with this?
Also, does anyone else find it a bit disgusting that with these bathtubs you have to sit in your own dirty water until it drains out so you can open the door?
Disgusting.
Let's go to the video:
By the way, this isn't Chambers only stint as an infomercial pitchmen. He can also be seen talking about debt relief in another infomercial.
