Watch as Natasha Leggero joins Roastmaster General Jeff Ross and a panel of hilarious comedians as they pull out all the stops to roast MR. PEANUT. True to tradition, MR. PEANUT will take his turn at the podium, busting out of his shell with a few zingers of his own.

“There are moments in a career where you get to work with your heroes,” said comedian Natasha Leggero. “I was so honoured to dig into his 106-year history of MR. PEANUT and get under his shell.”

Natasha and Jeff are joined by fellow comics Frank Castillo, Atsuko Okatsuka, Yamaneika Saunders, David Lucas, and Sarah Tiana in the ad produced by VaynerMedia, scheduled to air during the third quarter of the big game on Sunday.

“To roast MR. PEANUT, we knew it required the scale and excitement of a proper roast, complete with a live band, hungry crowd, and laugh-out-loud talent,” said Rafik Lawendy, head of marketing, PLANTERS. “While you entertain with delicious peanuts at your at-home viewing party, we’ll provide the nutty entertainment.”
