Comedian Conan O'Brien starred in a Bud Light Super Bowl XLIII commercial. It aired on February 1, 2009, and showcased the star as the predecessor of The Tonight Show and played on the brand's "Drinkability" theme.
2009 Commercial
The Bud Light Conan O'Brien Super Bowl ad featured the comedian with the popular beer brand being convinced to star in a 30-second spot. Taking a humorous tone, the commercial opened with O'Brien agreeing to the spot even though it will only be airing in Sweden. This refers to an ongoing joke on his comedy show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien. The talk show host did not accept payment but suggested that Anheuser-Busch instead make a large donation to the "Fresh Air Fund", which provides vacations to underprivileged children.
