Jake Shane invites everyone to give into Walmart’s Deals of Desire, interview
As everyone prepares their holiday wish lists and food menus, longing to unwrap those gifts grows. With Black Friday around the corner, Walmart’s Deals of Desire builds excitement for that shopping extravaganza. Leading the way is Jake Shane and he wants everyone to fan the flames of holiday exuberance.
After earning a loyal following on social media, Jake Shane has brought his comedic insight to the stage and Walmart’s Black Friday commercials. Even though some other famous faces might get people pausing the clip, Jake is the glue that brings all the hilarity together.
During a recent conversation regarding the Walmart’s Deals of Desire campaign, Jake shared his excitement about staring in the commercials. He said, “I was honored and the role is perfect. It felt like they wrote it just for me. I know how big the Black Friday ad campaigns are.”
This campaign ad is an opportunity for Jake to expand beyond his social media channels. He explained, “my fans know how passionate that I am about acting and comedy. Working with Walmart is an exciting way for me to step into that more traditional media format. I think that my fans are going to be super excited.”
One of the signature aspects to his brand of humor is self-deprecation. Those moments can make his humorous takes on various subjects more relatable.
Jake shared, “I think that the most important thing about self-deprecation is that it can bring people together. By not being that serious, it shows that we can laugh at ourselves and each other. During the holiday season, everyone is laughing and spending time together. But, it can be hard for some people, too. Finding those moments when you can find joy and laugh can make the holiday season better.”
Whether it is the holiday season or any day of the week, Jake encourages people to be open and talk about how they are feeling. He said, “I think that it makes people feel less alone and more comfortable when they are willing to be open about what they are going through.”
Although it is a commercial, Jake puts all the emotions on display in the Walmart Deals of Desire commercial. Happy, sad, envious, and more can be seen in the short clip.
From a favorite doll to a new air fryer, Walmart puts a wide array of holiday must haves gifts on display. Jake had his eye on a few items. He shared, “there was a scene where we were auditioning people and there was a really nice TV that I loved. And, that Bratz doll, whose hair I was brushing, reminded me of when I was a kid. I loved Bratz dolls.”
Whether or not Jake unwraps a TV or Bratz doll this holiday season, he is looking forward to a mellow celebration. He shared, “I think that something we all love about the holiday is that we are living in slow motion for a few weeks. Maybe it is the cold air. I’m excited to slow down, spend a lot of time with family and friends, and reflect on how grateful I am for the past year.”
While Jake might not be cooking a ton this holiday season, he wants everyone to appreciate that people can celebrate how they want. It is all about finding their own joy.
When asked what he would like to wish everyone this holiday season, Jake said, “everyone’s holidays are about making sure you feel good and protecting your peace. Take care of yourself. Even if your holiday does not look like Walmart’s Deals of Desire, it is ok. Put your happiness first and take care of yourself.”
Walmart’s Deals of Desire campaign will air ads throughout the holiday season. The 10-part series will feature many famous faces. More importantly, they will bring a little levity to the holiday shopping experience.
