Which is the target group among consumers of blood pressure gauges and sugar level gauges?
The retired.
In Serbia there is a company which sells majority of those gauges and they advertised themselves using a voice of an once mega popular host of quiz. There's been a trio of those hosts (*all of them retired now).
That host, together with his voice, died for some time ago.
The company mercilessly replaced him with another member of the trio. Funny enough. Now there is a rumour that he wasn't feel well either.

Are they going go engage the third host?!
For those of us in the USA, who is this "commercial star"?

A 'brand' can sometimes continue to flourish even if a key element is lost. When "Diane" left the TV series 'Cheers' after season 5 ~ with the show at the height of its popularity, and Shelley Long's performance an integral ingredient in that success ~ one could have been forgiven for thinking the show might as well have called it a day. And yet, the sitcom's romantic sparring partner for Ted Danson's "Sam" became "Rebecca", a very different character, played by Kirstie Alley, and the show blazed on just as brilliantly for another 6 seasons.
Nobody is indispensable. Celebrity endorsements are ten a penny anyway. When was the last time you bought something because some public face talked about it?

well, today's Parade magazine noted that the sale of Oakley (i think that was the brand) went up 2000% when tom cruise put them on in the movie Risky Business

Charlie's Angels survived the loss of Farrah Fawcett. Dr. Who has survived the loss of I forget how many Dr. Who actors (by means of a literary device peculiar to Dr. Who).
The Stones survived the loss of Brian Jones, but Led Zep did not survive the loss of John Bonham. The Doors put out one decent album after Jim Morrison's death setting new music to some of his pre-recorded poems -- but rest of the Door's output was forgettable.
There's just no telling which ones will carry on and which ones will falter.

Genesis became far more successful after Peter Gabriel left although didn't last long after Ray Wilson replaced Phil Collins. The Grateful Dead was originally Pig Pen's band but they became much bigger after he died.
The Doors' 'American Prayer' has always been a favourite of mine ~ it seemed to make ah... hum... er...dust-under-the-fingernail sense to me. But I get the impression it got slammed in THIS universe by the critics, including fans of The Doors, no?
