Bud Light employs comedian Shane Gillis to kick off 2024 CFB season
Bud Light has brought the laughs to the 2024 college football season by teaming up with comedian Shane Gillis. The face of Bud Light's latest campaign, Gillis, is known for his razor-sharp humor and popular podcast - Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast.
The Dean’s Office TV commercial will air on August 31, kickstarting the 2024 college football campaign. In the trailer, a college football player named Bobby finds himself in hot water for allegedly plagiarizing his Master’s thesis.
As the tension mounts, Gillis, playing "Coach Herb," swoops in with his trademark humor, offering Bobby a tempting deal: confess and enjoy a Bud Light but miss only half the season. The catch? If Bobby stays quiet, he risks sitting out the entire year.
“As a passionate college football fan himself, Shane was the perfect partner to connect to our college football audience with his distinct style of humor. And it doesn’t hurt that he loves a Bud Light or two on gameday,” said Allen.
The commercial captures the essence of Bud Light’s "Easy to Sunday" vibe—football, fun, and a cold beer in hand.
