https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_OfferOffer Vince Shlomi (Hebrew: עופר שלומי; born April 25, 1964),[4] also known as Vince Offer, is an Israeli-American infomercial pitchman, screenwriter, actor, director, and political candidate, who is the president and CEO of television advertising industry Square One Entertainment. He appeared in television commercials for his own products including "ShamWow!", an absorbent towel; the "Slap Chop", a kitchen utensil; a lint roller called the "Schticky"; a liquid cleaner called "InVinceable"; and another kitchen utensil called "Crank Chop".[1][2][5] Offer's first major work was the 1999 comedy film The Underground Comedy Movie. He is currently running for Texas's 31st congressional district as a Republican[6] in the 2026 midterm elections.
On February 7, 2009, Offer and a 26-year-old prostitute were both arrested at The Setai hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, after a physical altercation.[2] The police report stated that the woman had bitten onto Offer's tongue and refused to let go, at which point Offer punched her in the face and left her with lacerations and fractures.[43] Police later released photos of the bloodied Offer, hotel room, and the battered woman. Prosecutors later declined to file formal charges against either person.[2][44][45] When Offer later spoke of the arrest, he stated, "It probably saved my life."[43]
