No, your eyes were not mistaking you: That really was political guru James Carville hawking Miracle Whip in a television commercial.
The spot part of the company's "We're Not For Everyone" campaign features Carville and others expressing either their love or hate for the spread. The commercials debuted this week.
Amy Sedaris is a fan. Jersey Shore star Pauly D is not. As for Carville? He's in the pro-Miracle Whip category.
"If you've got these fancy, dancy mustards and stuff like that, that's kind of an elite thing," says Carville. "Miracle Whip is America."
It's funny that Carville appears in an ad featuring dueling sides of a debate, since the outspoken Democratic political strategis is married to Republican strategist Mary Matalin.

Putting Bat Boy’s daddy in anything advertising FOOD seems like a remarkably poor choice.
LOL! Donald Trump - presidential?!?!
“Miracle Whip is America.”
This from someone who openly seeks to destroy everything that is “traditionally American”.
For years I thought I hated mayo. Then, when I was 18, I was at a party where they had brought in subs from LaSpada’s in LBTS, FL. One bite and I was hooked. I wanted to know what the white stuff was, since it couldn’t be mayo. Of course, it was.
Seems in my family, growing up, Miracle Whip WAS mayo. Now mayo is one of the four food groups in my diet and I know to loathe Miracle Whip.
I can’t prove it, and while I would rather believe they actually married for love, I believe it’s a marriage of convenience for both of them because it makes them very unusual as political strategists/commentators and keeps attention on them. I have always had a feeling this was a way to keep at least one spotlight on them.
I don’t say it for fun or that I wish it, I just think it’s not natural to love a spouse that ardently opposes you on all major political (and thus, many moral) issues.
“buh dis’ ain’t dah same Miracle Whip dat mah ol’ boy Bill Clinton wuz tellin’ me ‘bout. Dat one comes wit ah leather bustier!”
Only slightly better than Miracle Drip.
Yes, Duke’s, please. Or home-made mayonnaise. But certainly not that Yankified glop full of God-alone-knows-what types of chemicals. If we Southerners are going to consume foodstuffs containing grease, we by-God want to have decent Christian grease! ;-)
I’ve never tried that one. There are regional brands of many fine foods all across America that are way better than many national brands.
Duke’s was introduced to me by a North Carolina friend. But being a damned Yankee, I still stick to Hellman’s.
I highly recommend Mayhaw Jelly!
Correct. No self respecting Southerner would use anything but Duke’s or Hellman’s REAL mayonnaise!
I have hated Miracle Whip since the 1960’s. I hate it more now.
We love Duke’s
Will have to give those a try! You rock!
But, but, I love Miracle Whip. I don’t care if Carville is endorsing it, I just can’t give it up. Mayonnaise just doesn’t do it for me on certain things.
“I love Miracle Whip. I dont care if Carville is endorsing it”
Sorry, but I can’t get past the fact that they’d have some POS like him endorse anything. He belongs in prison. He’s a lying, nasty piece of scum. And think of the well over 50% of the consumers that will be turned off by his just looking at his face and hearing that voice. Just a plain stupid move on their part.
Hellmann’s is good.
I’ll buy offbrand no name before I buy Miracle Whip. I won’t let a penny of mine go to the hate filled ranted devil looking, satan behaving, lying Carville.
