Well I woke up this morning and was watching a little TV while I ate breakfast. Then for the first time since his death I see a Billy Mays commercial. Oh and what is he pitching? Health insurance.

I'm sure that their estate would like the payments. Heck, didn't The Duke's estate sell rights to Coors a couple years back?
