William Eugene "Gene" Scott (August 14, 1929 – February 21, 2005) was an American pastor and teacher who served for almost 50 years as an ordained minister and religious broadcaster in Los Angeles, California.
Would often stop in the middle of a "lesson" and declare, "I'm not sayin' another word until I get some money comin' in here", and proceed to sit in his chair and silently stare at the camera for however long it took until viewers started calling in with donations. When he received what he decided was a sufficient amount of money, he would go back to his "teachings".
