Bob Hope makes a rare cameo in a TV commercial from Campbell Mithun Esty, Minneapolis, backing the “Big Kmart” store concept introduced in April.
The 94-year-old comic anchors a spot in which all the Troy, Mich.-based retailer’s celebrity spokespeople and endorsers parade through a small town to herald the arrival of the new Big Kmart, an expanded version of the regular store.
The 60-second spot broke Oct. 26 in 20 markets where the new stores are located.
