In his latest collaboration with Coors Light, three-time Super Bowl champion and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes includes a longtime member of Chiefs Kingdom for an important role.In Coors Light’s new “Mahomeses” campaign, Mahomes takes on the role of producer to cast a replacement to star in the new commercial. After a casting process that proves replacing a three-time Super Bowl champion isn’t easy, he ultimately taps longtime friend, two-time Emmy Award winner, and die-hard Chiefs fan Eric Stonestreet to step into the spotlight. Stonestreet recently sat down with Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. for an interview discussing his involvement in the campaign.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”Well, it started by getting invited to Patrick’s golf tournament for his foundation, ’15 and the Mahomies’ out in Vegas, and then meeting the Coors Light people. Then we just stayed in touch,” said Stonestreet. “At some point, ‘Hey, we have this idea that we’ve always wanted to do. We think it’s funny, and we’d love it if you did it. They sent me the storyboards, and I was like, ‘Yes, hilarious and really fun, really creative idea.'””Obviously, getting to spend time with Patrick and any time that you get to do that, you want to say yes. I was in town, available, and excited. I’m a fan of the brand,” said Stonestreet. “I try to stick to things that I actually really like, so I’m just not a big liar to everybody. It worked out great, and it starts with the idea and the nugget, which is what gets me interested.”Chiefs fans can get their hands on a limited-edition collectible poster featuring Stonestreet in character, signed by the star actor and Mahomes himself.Patrick Mahomes x Eric Stonestreet”Luckily, I didn’t have to become Patrick Mahomes on the field. I just had to become Patrick Mahomes for him in an ad for Coors Light, which I was happy to do,” said Stonestreet. “So those skills came a little bit more naturally to me than dropping back and scanning the field and trying to hit Rashee Rice over the middle, so I’m thankful for that. I had to emulate Patrick on a set and not on a field.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAvailable exclusively at shop.coorslight.com, just 15 posters will drop on July 16 and another 35 on July 17 at 12 pm ET.
