As I recall, Jennifer was "not interested in little gustos." RIP, Herb, and thanks for all the laughs.

I loved that show growing up. And now being in the auto industry, we've had a couple of years where we of course had to dress up like "sales people" for Halloween. And of course, Herb was the inspiration.
