BOSTON Iconic TV comedian Jerry Seinfeld will appear as a pitchman in an upcoming $300 million Microsoft ad campaign, according to a report in today’s Wall Street Journal.

Seinfeld will receive $10 million for his participation in the effort, which will also star Bill Gates, the WSJ reported.

The campaign is being devised by MDC Partners’ Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Miami and will likely use some variation of the phrase “Windows, not walls,” the WSJ reported.

Crispin offered no comment and referred questions to Microsoft, where a rep declined comment.
