Tony Little Career
Little was a Mr. Florida and Mr. Junior America bodybuilding champion in the past. He was involved in a car accident in 1983 while practicing for the NPC USA Championships and sustained several physical injuries. He had two herniated discs, a knee dislocation, and shattered vertebrae. Little began creating exercise programs and rose to prominence in the fitness business. Thousands of copies of his book One on One with Tony Little: The Complete 28-Day Body Sculpting And Weight Loss Programme have been sold. His fitness videos have received 14 Platinum Awards, and 9 Gold Video Awards, and have been viewed by over 47 million people. His items are offered in stores all around the world, including HSN and QVC. The Gazelle, co-created by Little, colleague Harper Williams, and Fitness Ques, is his most notable product.
Little has frequently been the focus of satire. He has frequently dressed up and parodied other TV personalities in his own infomercials, including Fabio, Richard Simmons, and Susan Powter. Little’s persona was portrayed as “Peter Small” in the episode “Take a Lap” of Beavis and Butthead. The song “Sell It and They Will Come” from Bruce Springsteen’s 1995-97 Ghost of Tom Joad Tour was a tribute to the lunacy of late-night infomercials. “I figure he (Springsteen) got home from a gig and wanted to watch some TV and couldn’t get away from me,” Tony Little said. During the original run of the Nickelodeon sketch show All That, Josh Server played Tony Braun, a manic fitness instructor who was inspired by Little.
In 1997, he appeared on The Weird Al Show as himself, mocking his own look. The next year, he imitated himself once more on the Fox show MADtv. In 1999, he made a cameo role in the film Frezno Smooth. In 2005, he starred in a GEICO commercial that appears to be another of his personal training videos but quickly transforms into a commercial for vehicle insurance. He was mimicked and portrayed by WWE wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin in a 2002 episode of MADtv. Will Sasso, a MADtv cast member, would parody Austin. Little starred in the horror flick The Pumpkin Karver in 2006. VH1’s Best Year Ever 2007 featured Little.
Little appeared in an edition of G4TV’s popular videogame review show X-Play in October 2006; the episode was titled “The Tony Little Episode.”The episode’s highlight was Little in a comedy routine that directly spoofed his own infomercials. Little magically moves (through superpowers) an extremely fat member of G4’s web design team into a fitness infomercial in the sketch (Little states in the sketch that he gained said superpowers when he was 16 years old, after getting bitten by a radioactive ponytail). Little then demonstrates to the individual how to begin a workout regimen utilizing specialized video-game peripherals. Little made an appearance in the VH1 reality show Celebrity Paranormal Project on October 29, 2006.
When Jennifer is watching TV and marking which boys to kill in her yearbook, she comes across one of Tony Little’s infomercials. Miller Lite beer launched a retrospective advertising campaign in April 2014 that included a “recap” of the fitness crazes that (ostensibly) followed the debut of Miller’s low-carb, low-calorie beer, which included a brief clip of a Tony Little infomercial. Little appeared briefly in a National Car Rental promo in 2018. Patrick Warburton impersonates Little with his own false ponytail in the same commercial. In 2020, a snippet from a Tony Little infomercial appears in the Cricket Wireless commercial “Couchercize.”
