Here are Malikha Mallette and Nadia Quinn. Malikha is the one who notices, that Beth, has lost weight. Beth (Nadia Quinn) tells her that its from eating Cheerios and whole grains. Malikha has just started to appear in a new ATT Uverse TV ad, that centers around her daughter, Anita, looking things up on the internet for her little brother. And out this week is a new ad that Malikha is doing for Honey Bunches of Oats. Way to go Malikha! Nadia is also in a new Olive Garden or TGIF ad, which is pretty funny since one ad is healthy and the other is obviously not. And Nadia is now in one of Yoplait's newest ads, called Book club swapportunity. Here is the ad:

Blue Shield of California Commercials "Lost Tooth" and "The Wink" & Jackson McQueen


This is "Tooth", actor unknown so far.


This is "Wink".


Wink is played by Jackson McQueen, also does the Lincoln MKX TV Spot, 'Obsession' & I am sure more, because he is cute, cute, cute and very talented!

These two guys and their roles in their commercials are hysterical. I dont know anyone who doesnt roll when they see these ads. Who are they? I have no idea, but I love them both, would love to see more of them, and find out who they are and if they are doing other ad work or tv work. Please let me know if you know.

Here are the video clips:

Citibank Jocelyn Deboer and Daniel Sabo (Jack and Lauren) in "The Ex", "Boring Guy" starring Alicia Keyes



Here are Jocelyn Deboer and Daniel Sabo in Citibank's boring guy commercial. Jocelyn plays Lauren who dumps Jack (Daniel) because he is boring, so he starts to redeem his Citibank points for back stage passes to meet celebrities. At the end of the commercial he meets Alicia Keyes who sings her new song, This girl is on fire.

Jocelyn is an accomplished actress, you can find out more about her on IMDB.com @ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3202519/.

Daniel is spokesperson for an elite brand of alcohol, and is an accomplished stage actor. I am sure that we will see more of him.

Daniel Sabo (Jeff) is thrilled to be a part of Four Gorn Conclusions. NY Theatre: Talk Thirty to Me, Clemenza and Tessio are Dead, Popcorn, Burn This, Taking Steps, Michael and the Wee Man, Idiot’s Delight, Othello and Romeo & Juliet.

Daniel is grateful for the unwavering support of his family and friends. Much love to Esther, Mom, Dad, Tim, Grams & Gramps, and Aunt Liz.

I am pretty sure that the new Verizon Wireless commercial that I just saw features him.

Here is the Citibank video:

Dean Winters as Mr Mayhem & Allstate Commercials



Took me forever to look Dean up and it was by shear accident. I saw the commercial on Wednesday night and made a note to remind myself. Then I watched the season opener for Law and Order: SVU ... Hellllllooooooooo, Dean Winters was the costar of the episode! What a co-inky dinky. I think he is without a doubt, one of the sexiest men around, good golly (to keep it G rated). Anyway Dean does lots of TV, movies and is always Mr Mayhem playing the people that drive the worst

Here is a clip of him portraying a teen girl driver:

Matt Oberg & "Howard" Macys Fall 2012 "What's in store?", Dawn McGee & Fiber One makes me sad! Gallagher at a Farmers Market





A tweaked version of the original

Here are Matt Oberg and Dawn McGee. They are in the Fiber One TV ad when the wife tells her husband that he needs to eat more fiber and he responds by telling her that fiber makes him sad. Its one of the funnier ads on TV.

And hey, Matt is gorgeous and so is Dawn; its amazing how much prettier they are in their every day life and head shots! Matt, if you dont want to eat fiber, its fine with me!

Go Matt, who is now in one of Geico's newest TV Commercials with Gallagher. Slow down the video or pause it and you will see Matt (with a blue sweater on) and his companion ask about the carbon footprint of cauliflower, lol only to get hammered with smashed watermelon. You can tell its Matt because of his deep voice.

Here is the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mREXE2JxQo

Well Handsome Matt is back again, in a new commercial for Macy's. Its their new 2012 fall ad titled, "What's in store?" Lots of celebs in this one, and for me, Matt makes the ad, as he starts as Howard, Manager @ Macy's... not Justin Beiber. Way to go Matt! We love your voice; you are the Barry White of caucasians!!!

Here is a link giving more info on the ad, the music and the video clip: http://www.popisms.com/TelevisionCommercial/62277/Macys-Commercial-2012.aspx

That would be harder is driving me nuts!



I worked for a year on my Master's in Public Health, so I understand program planning, health education, target audiences, and the need for change. There are a few commercials that are currently running for the Champions for Change Campaign. And a couple of local channels run it 10 times an hour, at least, it seems. TMZ comes on at 3pm, and I think this ad runs every 5 minutes, its soooo annoying. Whats worse is that I can clearly see who their target audience is and I can assure you they arent watching TMZ @ 3pm!! They are either at work or picking up their kids. It seems like a waste of time to run this ad during TMZ and Anderson Cooper's show. Both shows air controversial subject matter, I dont see how parents with little kids would be watching.

The commercial is as annoying as the anti-smoking tv ads and the ads for abused animals; you know, you grab the remote and change the channel as fast as you can. Jeesh, they run the ads over and over, until you dont want to turn on the tube at all. So, lucky me, I get to hear Harvey Levin run down bits and pieces of the NRC and then when its commercial time, I get to hear this public health announcement, that believe me, no one is watching. Your average TMZ viewer is not a middle class, low income parent who doesnt know how to feed their kids.

Here is the ad:
