NFL Hall of Famer Randy Moss and WNBA superstar Sabrina Ionescu make a cameo appearance in a new Michelob Ultra commercial that dropped on Tuesday which is slated to air during Super Bowl LIX.
The real stars of the 60-second spot are Willem Dafoe (Academy Award nominee) and Catherine O'Hara (winner of Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globe and Emmy Awards). In the commercial, Dafoe and O'Hara are hustlers who play pickleball against unsuspecting opponents to win Michelob Ultras. Moss and Ionescu are one of the teams that fall victim to the scheme, but only Moss gets a speaking part.
Also making a very brief appearance is Olympic gold medalist shot putter Ryan Crouser. Don't blink, or you will surely miss them.

A large number of people will watch the Super Bowl primarily for the commercials. It costs over $7 million for a 30-second commercial to air during the Super Bowl this year. You can be the judge to determine if this was money well spent by Anheuser-Busch.
