Paul Marcarelli AKA the “Verizon Guy” recently turned on the company that made him famous by starring in Sprint’s newest ad campaign, and during this week’s Desus & Mero on Viceland, the hosts got some insight from a guest who has a very unique perspective on Marcarelli’s Verizon betrayal: John Hodgman, who played PC in Mac’s late-2000s ad campaign opposite Justin Long as Mac. Would Hodgman ever consider making a similar move for a rival company? Not to worry: “Hi, television. I’m still around. If someone wants to put me in an ad campaign, I’ll probably do it, but would I do one that directly referenced the ‘Get a Mac’ campaign specifically for a competitor? I can tell you with great assurance that I would not and never did.” Your move, Apple.
