Larry David ‘Had An Absolute Blast’ Filming His First Super Bowl Ad For Crypto Platform FTX
etcanada.comLarry David may not be a fan of much, but he loved being a part of the cryptocurrency platform FTX’s Super Bowl 2022 ad. The comedian stars in the clip, titled “Don’t Miss Out”, as a time-travelling skeptic who insists he doesn’t see things like travelling to the moon, using an inside toilet, and more going anywhere.
David then says as he’s introduced to FTX: “Ehhh, I don’t think so. And I’m never wrong about this stuff.
