The comedian who encouraged Super Bowl viewers not to “miss out” on crypto said he “lost a lot of money” after doing an ad spot for FTX.
American comedian Larry David, co-creator of the television series Seinfeld and creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm, spoke out about his appearance in an ad spot promoting failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
In an Associated Press interview released on Jan. 31, David said he had consulted with friends “who were well-versed in this stuff” before agreeing to appear in a Super Bowl commercial promoting FTX. The ad, which aired during Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, encouraged millions of viewers not to “miss out on the next big thing” and featured David rejecting a series of sound investments before making the same decision on crypto.
“So, like an idiot, I did it,” said David.
