Super Bowl 2022 commercials: Leslie Jones is going to make Tommy Lee Jones cry in a Toyota pickup
Is the midsize sedan heading into the sunset?
Toyota is "Jonesing" for the Super Bowl.
The automaker has released three teasers for a star-studded spot it's running called "The Joneses" during the game.
The first shows actor Tommy Lee Jones stopping at an intersection in the middle of the desert in a Toyota Tundra pickup. He watches another pull up alongside him and says "game on" as he revs the engine.
The second reveals "Saturday Night Live's" Leslie Jones in the other truck, who says, "I'm about to make a grown man cry" as singer Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" starts to play.
The final 15-second video has the two trucks racing off-road and trying to keep up with a third driven by actress Rashida Jones.
