James Lipton Rejected As Spokesman In TurboTax's Super Bowl Ad

James Lipton goes all in as a spokesman in TurboTax's Super Bowl ad. Unfortunately, he's been rejected.

In a 60-second teaser ad, Lipton's agents have to break the bad news to the overexcited octogenarian, even though he's wearing a handmade TurboTax sweater and carrying an ice cream cake decorated with his face and TurboTax logo.

Lipton even wrote a jingle and convinced his never-flown granddaughter to fly in for the shoot.

No one knows who will replace Lipton in "Someone Else," only that's it's someone more "regal." Watch it here, created by Wieden+Kennedy.
