Ed Reimers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edwin "Ed" Reimers was an American actor in the 1950s and 1960s who also served as the announcer for early Warner Brothers television shows such as Cheyenne and Maverick. ("From the entertainment capital of the world, this is a Warner Brothers television presentation.") Then he'd recite the title and cast: "Maverick! Starring Jack Kelly and Roger Moore!" He was also the announcer for Do You Trust Your Wife when Edgar Bergen hosted, but was replaced by Ed McMahon when Johnny Carson took over hosting duties of the popular game show.

Reimers is perhaps best-known, though, as spokesman for the Allstate Corporation in their long-running series of television commercials in the United States, advising viewers that they were "in good hands with Allstate" insurance.
