Leonard "Len" Mattioli, also known as TV Lenny and Crazy Lenny, is a businessman and former television personality in Madison, Wisconsin. He first got into television advertising in 1969, when he moved from New York to take over the American TV & Appliance electronics chain from his ailing brother, Ferdinand.[1] He's widely known in the region for his outlandish ads that include water skiing on a sofa, blowing up a washing machine, or offering free bicycles with purchase.[2] He also took over his brother's sponsorship of a local cult horror TV series, Ferdie’s Inferno, renaming it to Lenny's Inferno.[3]
He stopped appearing in ads in 1998, and American TV went out of business in 2014.[4][5]
After many years of running an e-bike dealership,[6] Mattioli retired in 2022.[7]
