MacGyver's back! Sorta...
 

From Richard Dean Anderson's official site, rdanderson.com:

At the end of December, he shot a commercial for MasterCard. It is part of their "Priceless" campaign, and a send-up of MacGyver. In it, he slides down a wire, drives a semi through a fence, and blows up a building, then is found in a convenience store purchasing replacements for all the things he used to make his escape "priceless." He describes it as "quite cute - and fun." Both a 30-second version and a 60-second version were created, and although the anticipated airdate is some time in March, there has been some talk of the possibility that the commercial may be considered for airing during the Super Bowl. His description of the commercial was reminiscent of the commercials he made 15 years ago for Vitalon Foods of Taiwan. He remembered shooting those, in fact Jim Menard (director of photography on Stargate) had been the photographer for one of them. He said that he had never seen the finished commercials, and he was delighted to learn that fans from Taiwan had discovered them and shared them with the website where he would also be able to see them.

National advertisers try to leverage the hype in some way or another. Some, like MasterCard International, provide plenty of information to the media in advance. The credit card company released a detailed description of its new
"Priceless" spot featuring actor Richard Dean Anderson reprising his signature role as "MacGyver." The 30-second spot is slated for the fourth quarter.
