August 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Are we having deja vu, or does the actor featured in DoorDash's very first Super Bowl ad look eerily familiar?

Per MarketingDive, famous actor and rapper Daveed Diggs will also be making a cameo in the company's inaugural Super Bowl commercial. And as it turns out, the Hamilton star is no stranger when it comes to working with the cast of Sesame Street. Diggs appeared in an episode of Sesame Street in which he performed his own rendition of the classic "Rubber Duckie" song. Think "Rubber Duckie" meets rap, if you will.

According to a press release via PR Newswire, Diggs was both delighted and grateful for the opportunity to appear in the DoorDash spot. "I have always valued the importance of community, so when DoorDash approached me to be part of a campaign showcasing neighborhood connections and celebrating local heroes, I was excited to partner with them," he gushed. "Now more than ever, strengthening and supporting local businesses is critical and I'm excited to play a role in DoorDash's efforts to build community during this time. Plus, you know... Sesame Street!!" Indeed we do.
