American news presenter and reporter
Swayze was the pitch man for Timex watches in which Timexes were strapped to motorboat propellers, dunked underwater, fastened to the bottom of skis, after which hed show the watch and say, "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking."
Before he became the pitchman for Timex, he was a national TV newsman on the evening news in the early to mid 1950s. He always wore a flower on his lapel and every evening after delivering the major portion of the news would say "Hopscotching in the world of headlines."
