Federal Express's 1981 "Fast Talker" spot from Ally & Gargano, starring John Moschitta, is one of the best-loved commercials of all time. Now, Moschitta is back, but he's backing a different brand—JetBlue. New ads from Mullen, supposedly shot 30 years to the day after the FedEx spot, show Moschitta talking nonstop about JetBlue's nonstop service. The actor is older and a little rounder, but hasn't lost a beat when it comes to his rapid-fire delivery.
