Georgia Native Mike Jackson Will Fill in for Mr. Clean During His Vacation

After three months of reviewing hundreds of audition tapes, Georgia native Mike Jackson has been selected as #TheNextMrClean and will help fill the legendary Mr.’s white shoes while he takes a much-deserved extended vacation. Jackson’s innovative and creative take on Mr. Clean’s iconic jingle, his strength, bald head and willingness to tackle any mess, solidified him as the winner. In addition to winning $20,000 and a large supply of Magic Erasers, Jackson starred in the production of a 2017 limited edition Mr. Clean calendar.

“It’s definitely a dream come true to become the next Mr. Clean,” said Jackson. “While it’s impossible to replace the iconic Mr., I’m excited for this opportunity to help people tackle the most seemingly impossible messes while he’s away... and have some fun!”

Jackson hails from Atlanta and currently works in sports marketing, managing events and emceeing. He enjoys working out, traveling (he’s been to 48 states) and reading. He collects hotel room keys and loves the watching Science Channel, History Channel, ESPN, and Family Guy.

In addition to the limited edition calendar, Jackson will be joining DeMarcus Ware, outside linebacker for the Denver Broncos, to support Mr. Clean as he makes his Super Bowl ad debut in Houston at the end of the month.

“Mr. Clean has been tough on grease and grime for 60 years and we’re confident that Mike has what it takes,” said Kevin Wenzel, Associate Brand Director, NA Surface Care, P&G. “We had so many great entries in #TheNextMrClean contest and we are very thankful for everyone’s enthusiasm and participation.”

Had a professor in an advertising class like 10+ years ago that said research has shown that black men make the most effective pitchmen in commercials. He never explained why but I always remember it. It might explain why so many black men host game shows right now

I'm not sure this is true there have been studio of stock photos of products and people are less likely to buy if the hand is black.

Yeah I definitely don't doubt this either.

Maybe the difference is Print vs TV. Print = random black person (hand in a stock photo) and TV = "acceptable" negro (smiling, speaking clearly, dressed nicely)
