McDonald's newest pitchman: Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry is out
promoting "Bee Movie," an animated featured he wrote and
in which he stars.
This morning during the "Today" show, the following ad
aired:
Mmm, sausage McMuffin. That sandwich has 450 calories,
27 grams of fat, and 95% of your daily cholesterol, to
name just some of its nutritional value. Notable as
Jerry's wife Jessica is everywhere right now thanks to
her new cookbook "Deceptively Delicious," which is full
of recipes of everyday food secretly cooked with
vegetables. When Jessica appeared on October 9's
"Oprah," audience members were told of his affinity for
the book's banana bread and his preference for
beet-stuffed chocolate cake. He even did a bit on his
love of the spinach-packed brownie.

Did he need the corporate cash infusion? Jerry made an
estimated $60 million last year alone.
Meanwhile, on last night's Letterman, Jerry made fun of
claims that Jessica stole the idea for her veggie-packed
recipes from Missy Chase Lapine, who published a similar
book in April.
