Thom Sharp has appeared in more television commercials than anyone else alive.

He has been a ubiquitous face on Canadian TV since the late 1980s and a ubiquitous face on American TV since the early 1980s.

Everyone knows his face and voice, but nobody knows his name.

Originally from Michigan where he worked at an advertising agency with a then-unknown Cathy Guisewite, he moved to Los Angeles in 1978 and started doing stand-up comedy (with a guitar).

He was a regular at the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach and the Laff Stop in Newport Beach.

He landed an appearance on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1981. The crowd liked him, but Johnny didn't. Johnny hated guitar comics.

Sharp did an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman and An Evening at the Improv and had two shots on Merv Griffin. He only returned to the Tonight Show a decade later when guest host Jay Leno booked him (twice) to promote a VHS tape about golf.

He stopped doing stand-up around 1984 and devoted himself full time to his lucrative and prolific commercial career.
