Oh, Ann, you beautiful tropical fish! As Leslie Knope says, she's "smart as a whip" and she's "cool under the pressure," and it seems like the same holds true in this new commercial. Yep, the new face of Expedia is Rashida Jones, the actress who played Ann Perkins on "Parks and Recreation." You might also know her as Joya Barris from "#BlackAF," the titular star of "Angie Tribeca," and Karen Filippelli from "The Office."
The celebrity has had a long career in Hollywood, appearing in all kinds of comedies, both on TV and the big screen. When it comes to movies, she starred opposite Andy Samberg as Celeste in the romantic comedy "Celeste & Jesse Forever." She also played Mark Zuckerberg's lawyer, Marylin Delpy, in "The Social Network."
In her latest turn in the ad, Jones is there for you whenever you need a helping hand. "You look a little lost," she tells the hopeful traveler, before effortlessly solving any issue that comes their way. We're ready to hop on a flight and make her our new adventure buddy — but, for now, we'll settle for rewatching her in our favorite shows.
