His name is Windell Middlebrooks, but you probably know him best as the rather amusing focal point of the Miller High Life ad campaign. He will take away your High Life privileges (Noooooooooooooooo!) for being, well, disrespectful to the champagne of beers.

Well, this weekend he is set to take the Twin Cities by storm. He will be appearing at several local bars to talk about, you know, living the high life. On Sunday, he is scheduled to be at the Vikings/Bears game to again chat it up and … get ready … belt out the national anthem.

His IMDB page intrigues us (what exactly is Chocolate News, and can we subscribe to the newsletter?), and we are told he has a Master’s in Fine Arts. Mostly, though, we just think he’s a funny guy who stars in one of the better recent ad campaigns we’ve seen. Maybe he’ll even knock some sense into the Vikings’ playbook. (”Throwing a deep ball on 3rd-and-1? With Adrian Peterson in the backfield? Oh, no, Mr. Childress. You are not living the High Life.”)

Oh, and just for fun: Here’s Windell breaking down last year’s Super Bowl commercials.
