Edward Nalbandian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward G. Nalbandian (December 29, 1927 – February 22, 2006) was the owner of Zachary All Clothing, a store he opened in the 1950s on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. In the 50s and 60s, he became a minor celebrity, making frequent appearances in commercials for his store and even on talk shows. In one commercial, he said about his low prices "My friends all ask me, 'Eddie, are you kidding?' And I tell them no, my friend, I am not kidding." This inspired the Frank Zappa song "Eddie, Are You Kidding?" from the album Just Another Band from L.A. (1972).
