Character actor Jesse White was the first Maytag Repairman, originating the role in 1967. He retired in 1988, and was replaced by Gordon Jump, formerly Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson from TV's "WKRP in Cincinnati". This year (2003) Gordon Jump will step down, and Hardy Rawls will become TV's newest Maytag Repairman.
