Cooley, Leland Frederick
Variant namesLeland F. Cooley produced the first television commercial in 1944, which was for Lever Brothers Rinso. He was director of television for the advertising firm of Ruthrauff & Ryan working with CBS and NBC, and in 1946 he developed the Lanny Ross Show which ran until 1949 and was the first show to be sent out on a network. After Perry Como's show failed several times, Cooley was offered the challenge of making the newly titled "Perry Como Show" a success.
