I don’t know if this is true about the grill, but rumor says Hulk Hogan was originally offered the grill endorsement. I am glad it was the George Foreman Grill.

He was a most pleasant pitchman. He will be missed. George Foreman grills every where will remind us that he made more money with an appliance than he did in the ring.

when I was a kid in Houston before his comeback, my mom interviewed him for the Korean paper. she then invited him to speak at our church. just a former heavyweight world champion preaching to a bunch of Koreans, about half of whom not great at English.

Oh thanks so much for posting this. What a great story—George Foreman was a truly stellar human being

I can still hear his voice. He was so reverent of Mohammed Ali and his inherent goodness. In that I discovered his. Didn't he name ALL his kids George?

What a wonderful man. Sent it to my daughter who is a social worker and my Presbyterian minister son-in-law who established a food bank at their church in the Portland OR area. An inspiring, uplifting, and heart warming story makes one more hopeful. Thank you for sharing.

The Foreman Grill was a damn lifesaver when I was in my 20s. Cheap, easy to use, and it didn’t heat up my apartment or run up my gas bill. I loved that thing.

I remember hearing that doc on my way to work and hoping for a traffic jam so I could listen to the whole story. Such a great story.

In a spring cleaning fit I found my old George Foreman grill, laughed at its uselessness, and took it to the dump with other junk.

The first thing I saw on my phone the next day was that he passed away.
☹️

Oh dear..his body and soul was tied to that grill obviously....
