Why The Actors In The Tostitos One Upper Commercial Look So Familiar

Publish date: 2024-05-05

Actors Kate McKinnon and Dan Levy are cracking up fans once again, but this time, with their roles in the Tostitos "One Upper" commercial, where the two attempt to one-up each other while describing just how spicy the new habanero flavor is. If McKinnon looks familiar, it's because she's an Emmy-nominated actor who has appeared on "Saturday Night Live" since 2012. The comedian was such a hit on the sketch show that she's landed starring roles in the movies "Ghostbusters," "The Spy Who Dumped Me," and "Rough Night."

As for Levy, fans probably recognize him best from his Golden Globe-winning performance as David Rose in the comedy "Schitt's Creek," which he also co-created. He starred in the show alongside his famous father, "Best in Show" actor Eugene Levy until its end in 2020. He also appeared in the teen drama "Degrassi: The Next Generation" and in the Hulu holiday movie "Happiest Season" in 2020.

And if you're wondering how Levy ended up in a Tostitos commercial, he told Forbes, "There are sometimes where opportunities arise where you just can't say no and I think this was one of those situations." When asked about McKinnon, Levy gushed, "To get to spend an afternoon eating them with her was great and also, you know, the spot is so ... I feel like our personalities were able to shine through which I think is rare in the ad space." Both actors shined indeed, all while promoting spicy chips!
