Jennifer Coolidge stars in a new commercial for Discover which debuts on November 12. The ad focuses on dispelling the misconceptions surrounding Discover and features Coolidge bringing her credit card to the salon to pay for a new hairstyle. She emphasizes that Discover is accepted at 99% of places and jokes that she is not living in the past anymore. However, she then reveals that she is actually a blast from the past herself, sporting an ’80s hair metal glam look.
In an exclusive interview, Coolidge discusses her involvement in Discover’s “Especially for Everyone” campaign, which she has been creatively collaborating on since 2023. She expresses that Discover encourages her to showcase her personality in the ads and has not asked her to tone down her humorous and lively persona. Coolidge believes in being true to herself and letting her natural personality shine through, especially as she gets older and feels less inclined to conform to societal expectations.
Coolidge also reveals a couple of misperceptions about herself in real life, including her ability to run very fast and the rumors surrounding her large house in New Orleans being haunted. Despite the spooky stories circulating about her home, Coolidge finds them amusing as she has not experienced any paranormal activity. She shares that filming the Discover ad was a seamless process as she already uses her Discover card frequently and enjoys treating herself to various purchases without being thrifty.
The actress admits that she is not a bargain hunter and prefers to splurge on various expenses, particularly on treating her friends and dogs to dinner. Coolidge values the experiences and memories created by dining out with loved ones, showing her generosity and love for those close to her. She jokes that she has no regrets about overspending and acknowledges that she is not fortunate when it comes to finding great bargains, as she prefers to pay top dollar for things she enjoys. The commercial featuring Coolidge is sure to entertain audiences with her signature humor and quirky charisma.
