Sister Jean Appears in Super Bowl Ad

Loyola men’s basketball team chaplain Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt, BVM, who became an international celebrity during the 2018 NCAA Tournament, made an appearance in a commercial during Super Bowl LIII Sunday night.

The ad, which was for YouTube TV, was titled “Watch Like a Fan” and featured clips from major TV shows and fan reactions to sporting events. Sister Jean’s cameo came 0:20 into the commercial.

Former Loyola center Carson Shanks, who graduated after last year’s run, appeared in the commercial hugging the 99-year-old nun after an NCAA Tournament victory and took to Twitter to showcase his reaction to the ad.
