Michael's used to advertise regularly on several Los Angeles TV stations, and the first time he used the line "le-e-ess overhead", he removed his toupee as he did it. I was actually living near the place in North Hollywood while those commercials were running but never had the nerve to go in. (It was halfway hidden behind a fastfood joint from the street - very unassuming) Don't know what has happened to it since, but yes, those commercials were real and they were NOT spectacular. But hey, everybody who watched TV in LA knew about Michael's, and that's what counted.
