A marathon of the Discovery Channel series “Pitchmen,” which began at 11 a.m. today (Wednesday, July 1) and continues through the series finale at 9 p.m., has been dedicated to iconic pitchman Billy Mays. Mays, who starred in the series about TV’s infomercial kings, died Sunday at 50. Earlier this week, some of Mays’ ads, including those for OxiClean, were still airing.
