SEARCH IS ON FOR MAYTAG REPAIRMAN LOOKALIKES

NEWTON, Iowa (Wireless Flash) -- If you look like the famous Maytag Repairman, you could be making some beau-coup bucks. The appliance manufacturer says it's searching for folks who look exactly like actor Gordon Jump who, in addition to being the Maytag Repairman, was the general manager of "WKRP in Cincinnati." The Maytag twin stunt is designed to promote a new appliance called the "Gemini," which features twin ovens. The winning lookalike will receive $5000 and one of the new double-barrel ovens. A spokesperson says although they expect most of the entries to be men, they won't turn their noses up at any females who think they can impersonate the Maytag Repairman.
