To be honest, the announcer's banter here is funnier than the staged performance of the phone call. But it's still kind of great to see James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell perform together in this Sprint commercial, even if it's only to try to find each other in a department store. Apparently there's more of this to come, too.

"Today, we honor a phone call between Mr. and Mrs. Lewis," bellows the announcer. And then we get Jones and McDowell across a downlit stage from one another.
