From Will Ferrell to Harrison Ford: Watch All the Kamala Harris Celebrity Campaign Ads

2 weeks ago 3

The EGOT-winning actor leant her narration to an ad titled “Mother,” which discusses the legacy of Harris’ late mother, Shyamala Gopalan. “Something cracks open inside you when you become a mother,” Davis says in the video. “You realize long after you’re gone, these children will be your legacy.” Set to Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” which has become a rallying cry for the Harris campaign, Davis recounts Gopalan’s influence on Kamala and her sister Maya Harris, encouraging them to “stand up for others.” Davis concludes: “It’s time for a new generation of leadership, one of optimism and a belief in a better future for all Americans.”

Will Ferrell

The iconic funnyman is the latest celebrity to release an ad on behalf of Kamala Harris. Standing solo in front of a white background and wearing a fetching brown jacket, Ferrell makes a plea to undecided voters considering sitting out this election. “This election is going to be one of the closest in history. Your vote will make the difference,” Ferrell says, before the camera zooms in tight for a closeup. “That means you, Gary,” he continues. He goes on to imitate that imagined reluctant voter. “‘Oh blah blah blah. I’m just one person,’” he whines. But Ferrell is having none of it: “No. Shut the fuck up Gary.”

Ferrell’s politics have been on display as of late. He made a Netflix documentary called Will and Harper about a road trip he took with one of his best friends, former SNL writer Harper Steele, after she came out as a trans woman. He also teamed up with Billy Eichner for a one-off revival of Billy on the Street that cast the two comics as “Loud White Men for Kamala.” In this new campaign ad, he goes on to note that last election, just a few thousand votes kept Trump out of office. “This time, we will hold you personally responsible, Gary.” Ferrell’s message is exceedingly clear: don’t be like Gary. Vote.
