Old Navy Makes Holiday Shopping Fun!

New Television Commercials Star Megan Mullally, Emmy-Award Winner and Co-Star of NBC'S Will & Grace, & Wayne Newton Singing to the Tune of 'Jingle Bells'

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Tis the season for shopping as Old Navy, the store known for great clothes at great prices for the whole family, releases new television advertising for its national holiday campaign. The campaign, comprised of four national spots, launches November 16th on Will & Grace and Celebrity Millionaire and will run over a six-week period through December.
The spots feature Megan Mullally, recent Emmy-award winner and co-star of NBC's Will & Grace, along with the legendary voice of Wayne Newton.

In the commercials, Mullally uses her comedic and Broadway background, making her way through an Old Navy store as four dancers lift, dip and spin her across the screen. The scenes are set to the tune of "Jingle Bells'' with new lyrics celebrating the Old Navy "Item of the Week'' sung by  Wayne Newton. The first spot, entitled "Sweater Girl,'' features colorful turtleneck sweaters that are "priced so low you can't say no.'' In the three spots that follow, Mullally and the dancers move and groove as each new "Item of the Week'' is revealed.

"Like the holidays, Old Navy is all about family and fun,'' said Dennis Leggett, Vice President and Creative Director, Old Navy Marketing. "And who better to capture that than Megan Mullally, the funniest lady on television, and Mr. Vegas himself, Wayne Newton!''

The commercials were directed by Matthew Rolston and choreographed by Marguerite Derricks.
The Old Navy "Item of the Week'' dancers include Kevin Stea, Lonnie Henderson, Dean
Sheremet and
Zach Woodlee.

All of the clothes used during production of the commercials were donated to Mullally's favorite charity, Hollygrove, a Los-Angeles based organization helping orphaned, abused, and neglected children.

Old Navy offers great clothes at great prices for adults, kids and baby. Shop at more than 600 locations in the United States, including flagships in Manhattan, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle.
