Who is Jimmy Dean? Jimmy Dean was a multitalented country singer, TV show host, actor and entrepreneur. When a successful entertainment career wasn't enough, he went on to create and build America's favorite sausage company.

Dean thought it over, and decided he could make his own market. He already had the hogs, he just needed to turn them into something he could market directly to consumers. One ad-libbed ad at a time, Dean started begging Americans to give his sausage a try, and soon enough he was doing more selling than singing.

Jimmy views an ad previously used by D&M and finds it lacks "showmanship." Jimmy hires the camera crew he previously used and films an ad of his own. He decides to run it without the firm's approval and contacts a station in Colorado Springs, where no Sandpiper residents responded to the mailings.
