No more Giuseppe Franco on YES

By Joe Pawlikowski

Over the past few seasons, Yanks fans watching on YES have been bombarded by ads featuring Beverly Hills stylist Giuseppe Franco schilling for hair replacement tonic ProCede. According to Phil Mushnick of the Post, the company has “sustained some setbacks” and will no longer advertise on YES. What a shame. Now we can’t hear him talk about how he doesn’t own any part of the company (even though it’s possible that he received company stock as part of his compensation package for doing the commercial, which would technically make him a part owner of the company).

  2. “I don’t own this company. I don’t own anything about it. I just know that this is the greatest product ever for the appearance of your thinning hair.

    “Stop hiding your hair under these caps. Stop denying that your hair looks bad, and do something about it.”

    Will there be any more comments from Giuseppe Franco on RAB?

  4. Artist formerly known as 'The' Steve says:

    *tear runs gently down cheek*

  5. Ryan S. says:

    I bet Giuseppe Franco doesn’t even own a Ford Edge in Blazing Copper. Who needs him?

  6. Artist formerly known as 'The' Steve says:

    No “Horrendously Retarded” tag, Joe?

    Yeah when “Viva Viagra” and “Sudden interruptions are no problem with Cialis” takes over that spot, we won’t be so happy

  11. John says:

    filler post?

    • Drew says:

      Filler?!?! This is important, they must have had ten ads during each game. I don’t know if I’ll even watch anymore.

    I actually saw him in an episode of 24/7, a show on HBO that they have at times previewing big boxing fights. They showed Freddie Roach, trainer for Manny Pacquiao who recently whooped up Oscar De La Hoya, going to Franco’s saloon in LA. So at least we can confirm he has one semi-famous client….

    Jorge Vazques could really hit he has great power to all sides of the field.

  14. RushFan says:

  15. Jeremy says:

    The Lexus Platinum Ownership Experience IS the difference.
