Has anyone else seen Greg Jbara in the Olive Garden Commercial?? They show it on bravo a lot. Particularly during Top Chef. I love Greg Jbara!
There is a video of him singing 16 tons on youtube. He voice is so great. Deep deep base. Shakes me down to my core. Love Greg.
That commercial is everywhere. It has been running for a few months here. He is in another commercial also. Just can't remember what for.

it has been on forever. I see it at least once a day
The other commercial is for Caduet - medicine for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I saw the Caduet ad the other day, right after the Olive Garden one. It looked like his diet of OG gave him high cholesterol!
(I told him the other day that I thought all that yelling he had to do in Billy Elliot had made his voice REALLY deep. And I agree - it does shake you to the core. In a VERY good way!)
I thought it was him but I was not sure.

I was thinking of Billy Elliot last night, then heard Greg's voice (it was very creepy), I looked up and saw a Caudet commercial with him on it.
I pity his poor "daughter" who comes home from college to visit, and Greg wants to give her a good meal, so he takes her to....the Olive Garden???????????
Oh - OG's not bad. It ain't gourmet - but it's not bad at all.
Exactly.
You can go to a fancy restaurant & get crap.

FYI the Mezzaluna GJ promotes for Olive Garden, not that great. anything that is filled with "cheese" is horrible at olive garden, i fell for it twice. stick with the Alfredo.
I like the commercial. It airs a lot in my city.
bumping because I was wondering if Jbara is also in a PearleVision commercial. I swear I saw him when I was getting my breakfast on my way to work this morning.

I just put up a video from a benefit of Menken and Schwartz songs I directed in LA in November of 2007 - just go to youtube.com/user/haineshisway and you'll find it. He's singing Menken and Glenn Slater's Will The Sun Ever Shine. You'll also find Bruce Vilanch, Beth Malone (singing her song from Sister Act), and I'm uploading more - be sure to click on "more" if you don't see them all - I don't really know YouTube all that well, but I'm figuring it out.

He shouldn't go to Olive Garden - after all, he has high cholesterol AND high blood pressure!
