I appeared in a Miller Lite Super Bowl ad in 1997. My then girlfriend and I...now my wife were eating at a sports bar here in town and the radio station was doing a live broadcast from there...I noticed on their table that they had stuff you could sign up for to win so I put my name in the fishbowl...about a week went by and I got a call that woke me up from the radio guys wanting to know if they could put me on the air...I had no clue what it was about...I hadn't even realized that I'd signed up for a trip to New Orleans to film a Super Bowl ad...they got a real kick out of that. There were 50 people across the US that won this....one from every state, and I was a "delegate" from Nebraska. We got to stay on a steamboat which took us upriver to an old Civil War era plantation..(I guess they filmed "Interview with the Vampire" there) where we had our own private concert put on by the band Dishwalla (Counting Blue Cars)...we met up with the cast of Mad TV and partied with them all night, they headed back with us on the steamboat to New Orleans where we all went to The House of Blues for another concert (Buckwheat Zydeco? and Dread Zeppelin)...there was much partying through the night....Artie Lange was putting away a massive amount of alcohol...then the next morning we filmed the Super Bowl Ad...stayed one more day for sight seeing and flew home the next. Somewhere in my basement is a VHS tape of the 1997 Super Bowl with that ad, but I haven't seen it in about 12 years now.
