Florida Performer and Pitchman to Break World Television Record Actor and Comedy Hypnotist Larry Silver to Film 1000 th “The Deal Man” Infomercial on May 27th. WEST PALM BEACH, FL Everyone says they're short on time, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a person with a busier schedule than Larry Silver. Billed as a comedian, actor, casino game show host, and comedy hypnotist, Silver has been neck-deep in show biz since 1979. He opened one of Florida's most successful comedy club franchises – Groucho's Comedy Club – in 1990, and now tours North America and the Caribbean to deliver his trademark brand of comedy to the masses. Despite Silver's jam-packed schedule, there's one stop in West Palm Beach, Florida, that he never seems to miss. Since February 1996, he has been on set every week to film his well-known infomercials for Fox 29's Auto Video Classified Show. During these performances, Silver hams it up to the camera as two different personas, both pitching for local car dealerships – comically, of course. He has over 900 of these 30-minute spots under his belt, performing as two different characters (each of the two personas representing a different car dealership) every week for 18 years. Silver is now preparing to film his 1000 th performance on May 27 th , 2015. Compared to existing Guinness records for commercial appearances, this number stands to become a world record . . . with one small hitch: Guinness states that they maintain no records for infomercials, only televised commercial spots. Fans of Larry Silver – and of course Silver himself – are hoping that a bit of public support will sway Guinness World's Records to issue him an official record entry. The renowned record-keeping organization has been contacted, but at the time of this writing, no arrangements have been made for an official judging. Media and interested parties are invited to view the filming in West Palm Beach on May 27 th . The completed commercial – and as-yet unofficial record-breaker – will be uploaded to YouTube for viewing shortly after the taping. The infomercials are set to air on May 31st.

    WEST PALM BEACH, FL Everyone says they're short on time, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a person with a busier schedule than Larry Silver.

He opened one of Florida's most successful comedy club franchises Groucho's Comedy Club in 1990, and now tours North America and the Caribbean to deliver his trademark brand of comedy to the masses.

    Despite Silver's jam-packed schedule, there's one stop in West Palm Beach, Florida, that he never seems to miss. Since February 1996, he has been on set every week to film his well-known infomercials for Fox 29's Auto Video Classified Show. During these performances, Silver hams it up to the camera as two different personas, both pitching for local car dealerships comically, of course. He has over 900 of these 30-minute spots under his belt, performing as two different characters (each of the two personas representing a different car dealership) every week for 18 years. Silver is now preparing to film his 1000th performance on May 27th, 2015.
