Dave Barry and Actor Dick Wilson - Italian Swiss Colony Wine (1965)
In this vintage 1965 TV commercial for Italian Swiss Colony Wine, Dave Barry appears as a thick accented restaurant Maitre 'd with little known actor at the time actor Dick Wilson (who later became famous in the 1970's/1980's as Mr. Whipple for Charmin bath tissue). According to a 1970s survey, Mr. Whipple topped then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter as the most recognizable face in North America.
