"How do you think Honest Abe would do on a quiz show?"

I've always believed that it hurt Jump's career.  From then on, Paul Dooley got every role in that type.

The actor's name was Jesse White.  He played a ton of bit parts, but besides the Maytag ads, I remember him most from a "Twilight Zone" episode.  His last credit was as a condo board member serving alongside Morty Seinfeld at Del Boca Vista.
