Kendall Jenner is set to appear in Fanatics Sportsbook's first-ever Big Game commercial, Bet on Kendall, which will air during halftime. "Haven't you heard? The internet says I'm cursed," begins Jenner, sipping from a teacup, who then goes on to explain the fundamentals of betting on the right guy, all while poking fun at the much-talked-about "Kardashian Kurse" in the self-aware ad. At one point, the jokes that Kardashian isn't even her last name.
And for all the action surrounding the Super Bowl, Fanatics Sportsbook is extending the invitation to "Tail or fade Kendall's pick with your Big Game 100% Moneyline Profit Boost for a chance to double your winnings."
This campaign is the first production from the freshly launched Fanatics Studios, a joint venture between Fanatics and OBB Media.
