As it turns out, Nationwide's appearance during the Super Bowl will be a double feature.

Not only will the insurance company air this fun ad featuring Mindy Kaling, from McKinney, it will also run a spot from Ogilvy & Mather that centers around a social cause, according to sources. Both ads will last 45 seconds and are expected to appear during the second quarter. Competitor Esurance will also run two Super Bowl commercials this year.

Nationwide hasn't revealed the cause it will champion.
