TV's Trapper John shilling for predatory loan company...

[Archae]

When did Trapper turn into Frank Burns?

In response to criticism over then-host Glenn Beck endorsing a gold company, Fox News claimed in 2009 that it "prohibits any on-air talent from endorsing products or serving as a product spokesperson." Today, Fox's enforcement of that policy appears to be lax, if in existence at all.

Fox News contributor and financial analyst Wayne Rogers is currently a "paid TV spokesperson" for a company pitching reverse mortgages to senior citizens. Fox has previously reported that "there's a lot of evidence" that reverse mortgages are "predatory loans." Media Matters noted that Fox News contributor Keith Ablow is also serving as a "spokesperson" and infomercial host for a diet company called GOLO.

1. I guess you aren't aware that he quit M*A*S*H* because his financial dealings were more profitable.

He's always been who he is.

2. I read about that.

But didn't he do a detective show after leaving MASH, set in the 30's or 40's?

(Looks it up)

Yeah, "City Of Angels."

He also tried (and failed badly) to replace Larry Hagman in a "I Dream Of Jeannie" TV-movie.

3. Also did House Calls w/ Vanessa Redgrave, if memory serves.

Didn't realize he was 40 when he did M*A*S*H*

4. He's a long time prick. nt
