In 2023, John Travolta gave Santa Claus a groovy makeover as he recreated his Saturday Night Fever moves for Capital One, dressed as Kris Kringle.
That was then. This year, the credit card company has Santa Travolta staying alive as one of his other most famous characters. This time, he is Christmatic as he sings a Capital One jingle to the melody of Greased Lightning!
Not only does he carol, but he also dances. Do you know what? At 71, he still has the moves!
What do you think he should do next time: Welcome Back, Carter, Perfect, Pulp Fiction, or Face/Off, Look Who’s Talking, or Hairspray (as Mrs. Claus)? He really has done some iconic roles! And that is why I love him!
BTW The name of the credit card is Quicksilver. Why haven’t they asked Kevin Bacon to do an ad for them? After all, the man who is six degrees of separation from every actor starred in a movie called Quicksilver.
Next year will be the 50th anniversary of Welcome Back, Kotter. But we don’t have to wait that long to see a reunion between two of the Swaathogs.
Yesterday, at the TCM Film Festival screening to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Pulp Fiction, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, 70, decided to surprise his friend John Travolta, 70. So when Freddie Washington saw his buddy on the red carpet, he boomed-boomed his way over to Vinnie Barbarino. And it was like no time had passed for the old classmates.
I love moments like this and wish they would happen more often. The only thing that would’ve made their encounter perfect is if Travolta had said, “Up your nose with a rubber hose!” Such a classic line.
Someone at Capitol One had a great idea. They said let’s get John Travolta to dress up as Santa Claus to promote their Quick Silver credit card. But not just any Saint Nick, one who has the Disco Fever.
So they dressed the actor up in a red leather suit, and Kris Kringle has never been more groovy!
And now I want to see the movie Christmas Eve Fever! Who else would boogie on down to the movie theater to see that?
Before John Travolta had a lot of money in Gotti, he needed some from Mutual of New York. He looks the same now as he did when he was 19 in that 1974 commercial.
Remember when Scrubs had a musical episode, and they sang Everything Comes Down to Poo? Well, Donald Faison and Zach Braff are still singing together, but they just added a new singman to their duet. That person is John Travolta, and together the three of them are singing the praises of T-Mobile’s home internet.
And now, I want a Scrubs sequel with John Travolta. Who else would watch?
