Random commercial that's living rent-free in my head

[BrandonFG]

It's prolly been close to 35 years since I've seen this commercial, but why not.

Somewhere between 1988-90 - give or take a year - there was a long-distance commercial where a woman talks about being on a game show. The game show wasn't really a significant part of the ad, and I think her "consolation prize" was free long-distance service. I swear it was an AT&T ad but it might've been MCI. The only other thing I remember is that the "game show" portion was either black and white or a really dull blue tone (think CSI: NY). Me being a huge game show fan at the time, I was obsessed with the commercial.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? I looked through Youtube commercial compilations, to no avail.

I think I found your commercial:



I don’t know why the auto play isn’t showing up.  The voice sounds like Jim Perry, but it’s obviously not him in the commercial.

That's the one, thank you! Dunno what I searched for, but apparently it should've been simpler than I thought.

Thanks again.
