Shane Gillis and Danny McBride Are Rival Weathermen in Absurdist, 4-Minute Kalshi Ad (EXCLUSIVE)

Shane Gillis and Danny McBride star as rival weathermen in a four-minute comedy advert for prediction market platform Kalshi. The story follows Gillis’s increasingly desperate attempts to match McBride’s accurate forecasts, before revealing that McBride’s information comes from Kalshi rather than a supernatural oracle.

McBride wrote the advert, which also features Deep Roy as the oracle, and Randy Krallman directed it. An abridged version is due to air during Game 1 of the World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers. The campaign reflects prediction platforms’ efforts to attract attention through celebrity partnerships, following recent adverts featuring Timothée Chalamet for Kalshi and LeBron James and others for rival Polymarket.
