Cathy Mitchell

New and improved:

Every product that she sells is capable of making corndogs. What's not to like?

The Nu-Wave oven people should have hired her. They'd have triple the sales.

This bitch has been gourmet for 25 years

Those fucking dump cakes look like shit. What an old frau. How the fuck old is this witch?

Cathy Mitchell IS Edie McClurg

The face of dump cuisine.

She ain't no rainbow sponge lady.

[quote]The face of dump cuisine.

I thought I was the face of dump cuisine.

Behold "the diaper wrap":

Microcrisp was a fuckin waste.

She claimed to entertain guests using this:

R10 Ikr. How is that any different from warming up food normally in a microwave?

Cathy's one-time co-host, Joe Fowler, used to be SO hot! Here he is in 1991 in Los Angeles but in 1981 he was in San Antonio and even hotter!

This seems needlessly complicated. Again, how lazy does a person have to be?

None of that crap she sells (or on any of these infomercial shows) works as well as it does on TV. It's all cheap shit. There's a reason $19.95 is the magical price point for most of this crap.

Being the host of an infomercial has to be the lowest form of on camera job available. Look at the people who actually had decent media careers at one point who ended up being an infomercial host. How degrading. Montel, I'm talking to you bitch.

R16, please introduce your lips to my frilly bleached asshole.

It always cracked me up when she talked about the "kids" at her house eating all her shitty food--you know it's really just her and a bunch of cats at home.

Lol this thread has me spitting out my Sprite Zero.

Those "kids" LOVED those bread-and-apple-filling "turnovers" Cathy would make!

We already know your "Sprite Zero" is really boxed wine or Miller Genuine Draft Light, R19.

Dump cakes was the perfect name. After eating that shit, you had to take a big ole DUMP!

An earlier thread about Ms Mitchell who seems to have taken the place of Sylvia Browne as DL's patron saint of the questionable.

I'm reply 27 at the link below and describe working for a company that employed her. It was a trip.

Bump

R23 Is the food for the infomercials mostly cooked in advance? It seems that way reading the product reviews.

[quote]It always cracked me up when she talked about the "kids"

She said "THE KIDS" not HER kids

To the OP learn to spell my name

She arrived as a trash-culture icon when Charlene on Designing Women bought a generic turnover-machine thingy and made bread "apple pies" with disastrous results.

Cathy with the fabulous new Griddleman™!

I hated "Amazing Discoveries" and host Mike Levey's awful sweaters.

R25 Yes, there was a food stylist. My understanding was the big problem was making sure the food came out of the GT Xpress because the fake Teflon was really just heat resistant paint that tended to blister and peel.

Nothing is as tooth-achingly awful as dump cake. Cherry pie filling, canned pineapple, box of cake mix, covered with a stick of melted butter.

White bread "pizza"- I remember seeing that commercial thinking a "pizza" made with white bread would taste like crap.

Is this the only job this woman has had for the last 20 years??

Yeah white bread is made out of flour, salt and yeast and pizza dough is made out of flour, yeast and salt.

Are all the products she hawks crap, do any of them work?

no

R36 Let's put it this way, if that's the celebrity you're hiring as a spokesperson...

The deep, square "copper" pan looks useful but would you spend $50 on a pan from an infomercial?

To her friends she's known as

Cunty BITCHell...

Her twat smells.

Microcrisp was my shit. This is what I remember. I miss her glasses.

What is her story? Is she a character? Is she a real person or is it just a made up persona? Can't find anything on her.

Does she invent this shit?

She's a brilliant mind, too powerful to be constrained to the home shopping channel. She needs to broadcast her massive, wet, pulsing gifts to all peoples in all nations.

questionable hygiene

"FIESTA!"

"LISTEN TO THAT CRUNCH!"

"A COOKIZZA!"

She's playing it fast and loose with the meaning of corndog.

The omelettes are the only foodstuffs that looked great. The white pizza looked a travesty.

Barf

Cathy Mitchell IS Matinee Dolly!

Scorsese needs to make a biopic a la The Aviator.

Cathy is the Frau of Fraus!

I saw her on Rachel Ray and she said the secret to her success is she says is only selling products that work.

Not one bit fascinating (TBT, I hardly ever see her anywhere but DL).

The copper pan, btw, is said (on city-data) not to be non-stick for more than a couple of uses.

She used to beg her co-host to pull her finger and then spray DUMP CAKE all over the set and crew. Unprofessional.

[quote]would you spend $50 on a pan from an infomercial?

Anytime you're buying from an infomercial, be aware that the markup on the item is at LEAST 5x. Plus postage, and any other packs to the final price they can pop in there.

R31 Do you have an idea of how much Cathy made? Was she a part owner in the company?

I don't know the details of her contract but I presume she got more than a flat fee, and that she got some residuals for the many rebroadcasts.

Cathy was most certainly not a part owner of the company, of which I'm sure she's grateful as it went bankrupt. I gather she was happy with her remuneration as she came back for the subsequent "improved" versions, the Redi-Set-Go and the Xpress Platinum.

Incidentally, the intermal order numbers for the original GT Xpress 101 amm started with OM, which stood for omelet maker, as that's really what it was supposed to be. I don't know who came up with all the recipes in the various booklets but I'm sure Cathy had nothing to do with them other than lending her name and likeness.

R56 Thanks so much for the insight. It would be interesting to sit in on the filming of her infomercials. I mean, the final product looks shitty even with a food stylist. I love how she claims to turn down opportunities.

I saw that Copper thing commercial during "Bold And The Beautiful" today. I felt like ordering it!

All those uses!

This one?

"Red Copper Square Pan!"

What do Kathy's dumps smell like?

Don't forget Dump Dinners too

Yeah, that Red Copper thing looks great!

Cathy sold me on it!

Before DL, none of this existed for me. Thanks, tackybelles.

The colored people buy her products !

You have to take a fucking dump after eating her dinners!

There exists a man called Mike Jeavons, who "survived" an entire week on Cathy's Dump Dinners. Not to mention another week where he did the Dump Cakes and yeah, it's all crap.

The red copper pan actually works. I've seen a lot of YouTube reviews showing it does do what it is advertised for.

That ass Jeavons can't even bother to mix a meatloaf properly. He's so boring and sssllloowwww. And I see he bought black eyed peas instead of black beans. What a maroon.

She's no Sham Wow guy

Yeah, Call me when she gets bitten by an irate hooker.

Her short stubby little fingers are gross.

R72 = Melania Trump

*****BREAKING*****

The Today show is announcing a story in a few minutes where GM's boyfriend will recount his tragic "downward spiral" the last few days of his life.

Oops, wrong thread.

No one was cuter than Don Lapre

Why is this bitch not on the Food Network??? Dump & Dine with Cathy! A surefire hit!

Cathy is going to drop by Ina's home in the Hamptons to help with a special pizza dinner for Jeffrey. Ina will say 'fabulous' a lot and 'don't have any fun until I get back!'

Cathy and Ina should do a show together, entitled "Fart & Dump!"

Talk about a ratings bonanza!

Ina and Cathy: The Barefoot Dump

Pair up Ina Farten with the dump lady and you've got quite a show!

Her cookbook "Dump Dinners" was on a sale rack of a store for $3, so I thought "What do I have to lose?" I thought at the most $3 and my dignity. Although some of the recipes are laughable, I tried her "Chicken Cacciatore", and I have to say it was good-- not great-- but good. It was quick and easy to make too. I'm going to have fun just trying these recipes out whether they're a disaster or not.

bump!

r83

So you pirated her book? That is stealing.

He bought the book on sale. How is that pirating?

Bump cake

Who's the Cathy fan that keeps starting/bumping threads about her?

I've discussed in previous threads, I worked for GoodTimes Entertainment, the now defunct company that made her famous with shitty, unreliable, overpriced crap like the GT Xpress, etc. She'd sell anything for the right price. Remember the dump cake business?

[quote] She'd sell anything for the right price.

How much did she charge for a blowjob?

Without my dentures in, it's 60$USD.

Bump

Who is the annoying guy (who has a goatee) that does the cooper pan commercials?

So what is the story about her? Is she a former actress, chef, what? I, too, found no info about her. Where did she come from? Did she just get her job by chance?

R91 his name is Eric Thiess

Is the guy in R1, Aaron Priceman family?

Thanks R93.

I can't decide who I find more annoying: Guy Fieri or him.

All those infomercial products are crap. The only thing I've ever gotten that was really worth the money was the Magic Bullet. It's a great little blender and I use it all the time. Everything else, including the GT Express, ended up in the trash or donated.

R92 You got me curious, too. This is all I could find. It's probably from 2000-2001, since it describes her as "the current star of the hit Turbo Cooker™ infomercial." (GoodTimes replaced that product with the Turbo Cooker Plus in 2002.)

Cathy Mitchell Bio

Cathy Mitchell is one woman who really does belong in the kitchen....and on television as well. In fact, as the current star of the hit Turbo Cooker™ infomercial, she is now found in both places at once.

Ms. Mitchell is the consummate food expert, author, television personality and salesperson. Currently, she uses her impressive culinary talent to demonstrate the Turbo Cooker™ pan, a revolutionary new cooking system that allows you to bake, steam, roast and prepare full course meals in one pan, on your stove top as well as fry foods without fat or oil.

Having to prepare family meals since the age of 12, Cathy seemed destined for the kitchen. She was recognized for her abilities early on, when, in 1965 she won the Betty Crocker "Homemaker of Tomorrow" award.

With over 29 years of marketing experience, she understands and identifies with the American consumer and has an impressive track record when it comes to selling to them. Cathy first entered the infomercial arena in 1989, when she appeared in the Snak Master infomercial. One of the most successful of the early infomercials, it ran for 18 months and sold over a million units. She has since appeared in many successful shows, and was twice nominated for the National Infomercial and Marketing Associations Best Female Presenter award, Ms. Mitchell is well-respected and sought after as a product spokesperson. She has also appeared on QVC and HSN demonstrating a wide variety of housewares, kitchen, and craft items.

Head of product testing and development for Mitchell Marketing, an independent marketing company, she is currently sourcing, developing and testing new products for Electronic Retailing, as well as consulting on advertising and marketing with area businesses. She lives in Southern California with her family.

[quote]Ms. Mitchell is the consummate food expert

The consummate DUMP expert.

Do you think she wipes back to front? I bet she has asshole hair.

Didn't she do the Beadazzler infomercial?

An early Cathy infomercial in 1990 for the Snackmaster. (It's part 1 but there's a part 2 on YouTube)

It's great and has given me some ideas. I've got a machine that's nearly identical, the Cuisinart Sandwich Grill (not the same as their panini maker). I used it when I first got it making Rubens, Monte Cristos, even quesadillas, but haven't touched it in years. But now I want to get it out again and get creative.

I camethis close to ordering the red square copper pan, but I read reviews on it. Basically it's a piece of crap. I admit, though, I love the commercial.

Wanna try some of my big fat dumps?

And now there's ...

DUMP FOR DIABETICS

[quote]I bet she has asshole hair.

She used to, until she discovered Ronco's new Ass-O-Matic!

I still say that "dump cakes" sounds like Fraunese for a potty-training toddler's bowel movement.

" C'mon Maygunn sweetie, make-ums dumpcakes for Mommie! "

Many of you criticize her, but you know, deep in your hearts, you'd vote for her if she ran against Trump.

R107, Shhh. You be quiet & lay down now.

I think she was on a soap in the 60's playing Patti on Search for Tomorrow.

The actress who portrays 'Cathy Mitchell' real name is Paige Van der Cour...don't ask me how I know this. She used to do a lot of local theater near Lynn, Mass. Doubt she's ever around there anymore. In a lot of ways her story is very similar to Susan Ruttan's, and in fact, she was up for Ruttan's role on L.A. Law.

Bump

R110 Stop making shit up.

Cathy has a new product for her many gay fans:

R113 I will confess here , and nowhere else, that I nearly bought that thing when I saw her put a Snickers in chocolate cake batter .

😧 I have a habit of being TOOOOOOOOO curious about stuff and have to try it. IDK wtf it was about that one particular recipe that got me. I talked myself out of it, took 2 minutes.

Who couldn't trust this face?

She gets more beautiful with every passing year, and her dumps more delicious. How does she do it?

Who??!

You need to give us more than that, dear.

Last week Angelyne, now potentially Cathy this week.

She's a whore.

r23 you don't tell us anything about her we don't know plus you weren't actually working "with" her

She needs a crabby Grannie in her commercials.

According to Pew Research data, Cathy Mitchell's infomercials are the ones that men most like to watch while masturbating.

[quote] bump!

Don't you mean "DUMP!" ???

Speaking of, what do you think Cathy's dumps smell like? Chocolate cake?

She's become a DL icon.

"Dump cake" is so unappetizing. I just picture someone squatting over a cake pan and taking a dump in it.

Cathy most likely suffers from IBS

R120 who dumped in your Cheerios?

I never said anywhere I worked "with" her, only that I worked for a company that employed her many times to hawk several products.

And I do think it says a lot about her character that she returned year after year to be the public face of shoddily made junk...and continues to do so today.

I'm waiting for her to introduce her new, copper-infused, no stick coffin.

Maybe they will come out with a copper non stick toilet !

Cathy Mitchell is a Frau Icon!

Not fascinating, but smart. She knows it's all shit, but also knows she can play off her motherly/grandmotherly folksy image and sell this shit to people, thus putting a lot of money in the bank. Not that it's an original strategy, but she sure is committed to it.

I always laugh when she suggests all the things you can make with those pocket makers and how convenient it is. I've never had the urge to make anything like that.

I wonder if they refer to her as "Dumpy" around the ol' water cooler.

A week on dump dinners.

[quote]she can play off her motherly/grandmotherly folksy image and sell this shit to people, thus putting a lot of money in the bank. Not that it's an original strategy,

Tell me about it

[quote]New and improved:

Unless you're referring to her co-host, the product itself -I have no doubt- it's still shit

[quote]Scorsese needs to make a biopic a la The Aviator.

I know R49 was just snarking, but if Hollywood can release a major biopic about the inventor of the fucking Miracle Mop, then why not a biopic on Cathy Mitchell, Billy Mays (RIP), Ron Popeil, the Sham Wow guy, or other low-key television personalities like PBS artist Bob Ross (the last four I might actually watch). I'd rather have quirky biopics than yet another comic book movie.

R7's vid got a smile out of me. Her enthusiasm is just infectious.

I was on holiday from UK in California in 2007. Started watching infomercial on late night tv. An hour later was so brainwashed when I got back to UK I went online and ordered a magic bullet. It was a pretty good product and still going 10 yrs later.

Bump

How could you not love this Fat, Old, Crazy Cunt?

You'll be dancing all day with her Red Copper Square Dance Pan!!

Everything takes 10 seconds and looks so easy and tasty.

The Red Copper Pan Dub!

R141 "dancing" to the bathroom with diarrhea

So much laughable cringe on this one....Cathy isn't in this but its part of her world-dominating Red Cooper Empire..

Even Cathy wouldn't endorse this ridiculous piece of shit....

Cathy's voice is like 100x more shrill than nails on a chalkboard.

Simply Sara has the red copper pan!

The Square Copper Pan dub!

The Shitty Copper Pan Sandwich Pan dub!

What's with the cheap, trashy looking clothes she wears? Is it to endear herself to the coveted white trash demo?

It was inevitable, Cathy Mengele force bred the Red Cooper with the Xpress Redi-Set-Go!

What do you think it smells like after Cathy takes a dump?

R151 - holy fuck. Someone needs to stop this cunt!

R152 - like diabetes and failure.

Brownies anyone? She's out of control!! (Admittedly the pan action is original...)

We're not done...she's never gonna stop.

Has Kathy/Cathy ever had plastic surgery?

[quote] Has Kathy/Cathy ever had plastic surgery?

She's trying to figure out a way to market a "dump facelift."

Cathy's new cookbook is called "Ramen Joy." And yes, cans of soda are used as well.

Let that sink in, bitches.

Why in the fucking fuckitty fuck would you ever put a can of SODA into your ramen noodles?????

This woman is insane.

R158 HOLY FUCK!!! That Bitch is trying to kill people!

* R159

Cathy puts a can of cola in everything, she probably even douches with it!

Ramen apple pie?!?!

Is this the same woman who would make those "apple turnovers" using white bread and pie filling? I can't imagine that would come anywhere close to a real apple turnover.

I bet she sucks a mean cock.

[quote]Ramen apple pie?!?!

"GRANDMA'S Ramen Apple Pie," to be exact.

I love how cheap ground beef, uncooked ramen noodles and a can of off-brand soda (!) magically transforms into "pulled pork, better than you'll get at your local rib joint."

I'm dancing all day when Cathy Mitchell's in the kitchen!

R167!dancing to the bathroom with diarrhea

That woman is a crazy Bond villain on the loose! When humanity is stuck on the toilet from eating her food she rules the world.

R169 Buy my Copper Pan!!!! Or die! 😄

Cathy's hypnotic, crazy-eyed stare will force you to do her bidding. You will eat nothing but Dump Dinners, Dump Cakes and Ramen Fun Cookery for the rest of your life!

I want to give her all my money but you know she is a diehard Trump supporter.
