Tomorrow, Tuesday, December 7th at 11am, the world will get to “meet” the iconic and mysterious Jerry of Jerry’s Subs & Pizza,
when Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. debuts a wax figure to honor the popular metropolitan entrepreneur. For two decades, the legendary and reclusive Jerry has been heard in a series of award-winning radio commercials—but never seen—making his wax figure tribute a one-of-a kind attraction.
Since 1954, Jerry is famous for serving “The World’s Best Cheesesteaks” at his namesake 100 Jerry’s Subs & Pizza Locations. For the past 25 years, Jerry has been featured in over 300 spots, each featured with his trademark “Hello” and ending with the advertising textbook pneumatic device: the “Oooo…Oooo Jerry’s” Signature Jingle. Hundreds of celebrities, real and faux, have been spoofed in Jerry’s ads of the past two decades. Renowned, for being camera shy, two decades ago the ubiquitous Jerry appeared in a Television Campaign, with his back to the camera.
