Two Queens – Infomercial that is..!

Published on by Wendi CooperLeave a comment
After 15 years of friendship who would have thought the two “Infomercial Queens” with the same name, spelled exactly the same, would be on a radio show that reaches around the world?   Wendi Rogers has done it all and she is on the phone today for 50 minutes!  Wendi and I go way back that’s for sure.  But, we also share very similar life’s experiences.  In fact, we were both broke – both emotionally and financially – back in 1998 when we first met.  It’s often said that the infomercial business is tainted, I argue that it went through growing pains, but Wendi sees it differently.  Take a trip back in time to the “Wild West ” days of the infomercials when MER’s where through the roof, greed was not necessarily “good” and lives were changed forever.  Wendi Rogers Geisenger is married to Adam {Jay} Geisenger who was on C Spot Talk back in 2012 and together created some really fun and profitable campaigns.  Google Doc Bottom’s A Spray and the infamous “Pocket Chair.”

If that show title doesn’t get you to download this episode, nothing will!  Today Peter and I celebrate The C Spot’s first 3 Peat!   Talent agent Blair Taylor of Commercial Talent Agency is in-studio for the 3rd in 2 years.  Why so many guest appearances?  Well, besides being the funniest and most entertaining person I know, Blair is the “Huber” TV Host agent.  Imagine this…he has placed and negotiated deals over  900 infomercials.  But it’s not just about infomercials, Blair placed Bick in the hilarious AT&T “It’s not complicated” commercials – which lead to SNL.  Isaiah Mustafa AKA the Old Spice guy which lead to, hmmm not sure what.  This episode, as well as last week’s with Darla Haun (just seen on Jay Leno (represented by Blair), will give you a completely new POV and  R.E.S.P.E.C.T., for the special talent it takes to sell on TV.  Blair@commercialtalentagency.com. BTW Super hilarious show!
