Doug McDermott Has 99 Problems
With NBA Draft coming up, NCAA Player of the Year and noted sharpshooter Doug McDermott partnered with M&M’S Peanut to play an epic game of H-O-R-S-E … against 99 other people.
It’s Doug just dominating the field by doing epic trick shots – half court, no look, blindfolded at one point. Very cool moments – might make for a fun piece heading into Draft Week, especially as there’s tons of speculation where in the First Round Doug will go.
M&M’S Peanut cares about quality peanuts, and only 1 in 100 peanuts will become an M&M’S Peanut. So to help illustrate how quality matters when picking ingredients, M&M’s pitted 1 future pro basketball sharpshooter (Doug McDermott) against 99 regular folks in games of H-O-R-S-E. Naturally, Doug dominated the field with some wild trick shots – proving how important it is to choose the very best 1 in 100, like M&M’S does with its peanuts

The Muppets & Toyota Teach Terry Crews How to Cruise
Room for a whole flock of chickens, Terry Crews, a grand piano and the Muppets, but no room for boring. Sing along and see the all-new Toyota Highlander in the roomiest Big Game Ad of all time!
In 1957, when Toyota first came to America, Elvis was king of rock n’ roll, big cars with tailfins were “in” and postage stamps were just 3 cents. After a poor start with a car called the “Toyopet,” Toyota came back strong in 1965 with the popular 90-horsepower Corona sedan.
Then there was the Corolla, Camry, Toyota trucks, the Lexus luxury brand, Scion, and the world’s first gas/electric hybrid Prius…a car we built for the 21st century. Along the way, we’ve learned a lot and enjoyed the support of American consumers who have embraced the quality, dependability and reliability of our vehicles.
Today, Toyota is one of the top-selling brands in America and we are committed to continuous improvement in everything we do, along with breakthrough products for the future. We’re proud to share some highlights of our 50 years of progress and history here.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt & HITRECORD ON TV Release 1st Episode
HITRECORD ON TV is an extension of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s popular open-collaborative production company hitRECord. The show’s unique take on the variety show format puts the spotlight on the final product after Gordon-Levitt and his team culls these individual pieces from hundreds of contributors to create short films, live performances, music, animation and more.
From the words of Joseph Gordon-Levitt himself:
Ladies and gentlemen, I am beside myself with joy and anticipation D It is my sincere pleasure to present the very first episode of HITRECORD ON TV! Watch the entire first episode here before it premieres on television.
Everything you’re gonna see on this show was made collaboratively on our site — hitRECord.org — and the work of 426 Contributing Artists is featured in this particular episode. There’s gonna be 8 episodes this season, each revolving around a different theme, like RE: Space, RE: The Other Side, and RE: Money. And since this is our first ever episode, I figured the theme of this one would be RE: The Number One. HITRECORD ON TV will be coming out on January 18th on a new cable channel called Pivot.
I’m deeply proud of this show, and I think you’re realllllly gonna like it. Honestly, making this thing together with all the artists from around the world in our hitRECord community has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life so far. So, without any further ado, enjoy the show!
