Vancouver polling company Angus Reid reported that 49 percent of surveyed Canadians in September 1995 had heard of his name. Assman received a number of contracts for commercial appearances, was asked to run for public office, and received many marriage proposals. Assmania came to a close in August when Assman visited the Ed Sullivan Theater and was presented with a bouquet of roses by Letterman.
In October 1995, James Blanchard , the U.S. Ambassador to Canada paid a visit to Assman at his Gas Station , citing his status as a celebrity. The Regina gas station closed in August 2003, but Assman is reportedly working at another Petro Canada station on South Albert Street.
