(this post done in the style of Simon Rich)-"So, we're ready to start a new line of commercials, but we were thinking that, instead of using a nobody, we could maybe use a celebrity guest

3 kids. Pat had Claire in uh...2004 I believe. I don't know why I still remember that.
I LOVED those commercials. I thought they were cute. :) Though now that you reminded me that he played Lewis, it makes those commercials a little bit creepier...
I find it weird to see that face, selling Playskool, next to the phrases "Bounce 'N Go" and "Inch Along."
Also, is "who's" pronounced any differently from "whose"? (Rhetorical question.) That you spelled it like that to reveal the speaker's mind kind of reminds me of a thought I had when I was a teenager: "Should I ever do an interview with a non-American, English-speaking publication for whatever reason, I ought to insist that any direct quotation of me have American spellings." It's not that I pronounce color any differently from colour; just that I don't say colour. Although I suppose it would be silly of me to insist that my words not get translated from English for publications in other languages. Perhaps retooling the orthography is some microcosm of translation, and I should go all or nothing (with nothing being the better choice, since I wouldn't mind the larger audience that translation would bring me). But I digress.
I doubt that its appearance in tandem with "anyways" was accidental. In fact, I think I've previously seen him write the show's title that way to quote people only familiar with Whose Line in passing.

I think part of the reason he got the job is that he's so tall. it's one of those advertising things, we'll make something look extra good by comparing it to something else.
those little kids look extra small and extra adorable next to a guy who dwarfs them more than an average height person might.
