John Lehr may be one of the most overexposed and least known entertainers out there. Though he's the star and producer of his own TBS show, "10 Items or Less," Lehr was also the original Geico caveman and continues to appear in TV commercials for the insurance giant, but because of "10 Items" he won't be part of the new ABC "Cavemen" sitcom, which may yet prove to be a blessing in disguise.
I'm reposting our interview from earlier this year. Lehr, who's from Kansas City, also told me about a couple hilarious brand extensions that Geico's ad agency has signed him up for, including his recent Maxim magazine shoot and doing interviews on the red carpet at the Oscars — both in full caveman getup.
