Never seen or heard of that one, do remember the PCH and nothing with the American one. I know what I bought for 40 years and who picture was on the Contest which I did not enter.

Huh! Any evidence of it must be in the Berenstein Universe then.

That not hard either it was found, does not mean much with loco people. This is the end of any answers I will give you. All you are doing is harassing. I warned people don't people do bad things to me, I will not retaliate, so leave me a lone and you will not have to worry about some thing happen to you, I will not lift a figure to harm you. It just happens that way. I warn because it happens to much. So, for your sake leave me alone.

I’m way behind obviously, but McMahon was American Family Publishers, not Publishers Clearing House.

Ed McMahon never worked for Publishers Clearing House. He was a spokesman for American Family Publishers. McMahon never left the studio to ambush families, and he never held a giant check.

Similarly, Publishers Clearing House never hired a celebrity to serve as a spokesperson, and it was the Prize Patrol, not McMahon, that showed up on doorsteps with a giant check.

So what happened that makes everyone remember these ads incorrectly? It’s not as if they are misremembering a few details. They are entirely rewriting separate million-dollar marketing campaigns created by two companies.

“American Family Publishers was set up to directly compete with us,” says Publishers Clearing House’s Todd Sloane. “They were always a ‘me-too’ company. When we ran TV commercials, they would go on air with TV ads. They would do everything we did. So during the 1980s when there was a tremendous amount of TV advertising, people got these ads mixed up. They thought they were one-and-the-same.”

At the time, Publishers Clearing House really didn’t make any real effort to correct this misconception. “It was kind of a blessing. It was free advertising since people thought McMahon was working for us,” says Sloane. “It certainly didn’t hurt us.” And as a result, the association between McMahon and Publishers Clearing House became an enduring myth. “It was the combination of the well-established company and the well-established spokesperson,” says Sloane.

Controversy Over Who Ed McMahon Really Worked For
The public's determination to associate McMahon with PCH is baffling. Even though PCH has outright declared that Ed McMahon never worked for them, many people insist that they remember him working for the company.

Some people claim that this is an example of a Mandela Effect, a phenomenon where memory doesn't seem to match up with reality. For example, this video claiming to prove that Ed McMahon worked for PCH shows a picture of Ed McMahon and Dick Clark in an advertisement; the text is slightly blurred, but you can still read that the advertisement states "American Family Publishing".


Apologies if this has been put to rest already.
