Mystery: Pick-Up Artist?

Where did Mystery: the host of the show "The Pick-Up Artist," establish his credentials as the ultimate woman seducer/man-candy? Was he on another show/sitcom where viewers were enticed by his canadian vernacular? .... And on the topic of "Mystery" (perhaps this shold be a separate question) Are viewers of this show "jaded" into thinking that Mystery is the absolute pick-up artist because he is properly casted into this specific role?
