People in Commercials

I think its stupid when people on commercials say “Hi, I’m [name].” It’s like, why do we care about your name? We’ve never even heard of you before! Unless they’re famous, I don’t see the point of it. Sure, maybe they do it to get noticed and gain a title like Billy Mays, but I doubt anyone would go farther than watching the commercial to find out more about the person.
