Where would the world be without cheesy local television commercials made by local merchants so desperate to sell furniture, used cars, and appliances that they’ll even dress up in ridiculous costumes to get viewers’ attention? One sterling example of such a shameless huckster is Lou Nicozisis, famed throughout central Pennsylvania for his numerous “over the top” commercials for Carpet Mart (now Carpet & Tile Mart) in the 1980s and 1990s. Nicozisis would go to any length to make a great deal on carpet, even if it meant playing all four members of a barbershop quartet or straddling a giant roll of carpet, à la Slim Pickens riding the bomb in Dr. Strangelove. Over the years, Lou was a politician, a doctor, a Broadway song-and-dance man, and even Billy Crystal’s “Fernando” character from Saturday Night Live. Most memorably, though, he was a ghostbuster.
