Super Bowl Ad starring Melissa McCarthy for Booking.com

Stills for the Big Game for Booking.com, with fantastic director Alex Prager, featuring Emmy Award-winning Melissa McCarthy, who is now the spokesperson of “Booking.yeah” campaign.

“The joy and excitement we get from traveling and exploring the world, or even taking a short trip close to home, gives us such wonderful memories. Every time my family travels, we come back as a little bit better versions of ourselves, and we’re immediately inspired to start daydreaming about our next trip. The fun of travel starts with a world of possibilities, so I hope the ad inspires everybody to book their next trip with Booking.com and bring their travel dreams to life.”

- Melissa McCarthy
