“I knew when I met her she was something special.”
“But do you recognize the girl in the middle?
said Rannells after the hosts ran the ad, which was for a bank in Omaha.

“Have you ever reconnected around that beautiful commercial you put together?”
But sadly that was a joke.
Rannells then dove into an amusing anecdote about an encounter with his former commercial costar at aGolden Globesceremony.

“The one time I was asked to the Golden Globes, she was there.
And you know it’s, like, the Hunger Games of celebrities,” recalled Rannells.
“It’s like, everyone is there.
He continued, “And I was like, ‘Amy, it’s me!
We did a commercial together in Omaha in 1996!’
I just started shouting at her.”
The two were able to connect.
“She was very nice,” said Rannells.
“And then, weirdly, I saw her many times after that.
She was always very sweet.
And you know what?
I’m going to say it: I knew when I met her she was something special.”
Both stars have come a long way since that humble little bank commercial.
