The current issue of Men's Health features an article about our favorite douchetastic Beachbody guru, Tony Horton -- just in time to promote his newly-published book
.Horton is heading to QVC—the network darling of little old ladies in quilted housedresses—to sell his P90XHmm.workout program. ("Just two easy payments of $64.95, plus $9.43 shipping and handling.") He'll do an hourlong taping at 1 a.m. (right after Joan Rivers sells jewelry), grab a few hours of sleep in a back room, and then do more tapings at 6 a.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m.
It's hustle like this that has enabled Horton to hawk a reported 3 million P90X DVD sets, in addition to his fitness accessories, nutritional supplements, and other workout programs. Not bad for a 52-year-old former stand-up comedian and theater major who lacks a college degree or, for that matter, any type of fitness credentials.
"Hey, George Bush became president. What was his experience?" asks Horton.
