Not sure how many Broadway/Sports fans we have here on this site (am I the minority?) but did anybody else catch the commercial for Flo TV during the Super Bowl? Was that not Autumn Hurlbert in it? If so, congrats to Autumn!
If not, it sure looked like her.
Yup! That was her!
Yes, it was Autumn.
Hmmmm I bet a majority of members here did not watch the super bowl ( I am one of them) anyone have a link to the commercial or a screen grab?

What a horrible commercial. What was with all the Super Bowl commercials this year? All I took away from them was that women are absolutely horrible creatures on all levels and all they do is make men miserable, and it's the job of men to "stop wearing a skirt" (as this ad suggests), "wear the pants" (as a Dockers ad suggested), break up a woman's book club because they're stupid and men should drink their Bud Lite, etc. All that plus a Focus On The Family ad.
Good for Autumn and I hope she makes a ton of money on the residuals and I never, ever begrudge an actor a job, but I am not a fan of the world of TV commercials at the moment.
Even The Who were disappointing, and I love The Who. At least the lights were cool.

I was wondering if that was Autumn too when I saw it. I went on her website, but found nothing about it.
I don't think too many actors (aside from "stars") get residuals from commercials. They get paid for the day's work, yes?
temms, they are called jokes. But I agree with you, The Who were very disappointing.
Judas, I am well aware of this "humor" concept. It was the barrage of one commercial after another, all of them telling this same "joke" that's not all that funny to begin with. I tend to prefer humor that upends stereotypes and puts a different spin on things, not just retreads of old hoary cliches.
One commercial showing a hen-pecked man being emasculated by his girlfriend and I probably wouldn't have batted an eye. Three and a half hours of relentlessly being told that women suck got a little tedious. And I say this as a gay man.
Found Autumn's Super Bowl commercial on a website for a musical comedy short film she was just in called "Sudden Death!"
