Over a year ago, Young shot a commercial for a local cable company (the audition material described the character as a "Donald Faison type"). Seasons passed and it seemed like it would never air.

This fall, though, it aired constantly. Young became the "I Still Have a Dish" Guy. Strangers recognized him. One night we were at a bar with a bunch of improvisers and the commercial ran five times. We cheered each time. "Young!! It's Young's commercial!"

I haven't seen it in about a month now. I think it's window of on-air time has passed. It was fun while it lasted.

A longer version of Young's cable commercial can be found here:

Young also did a starch commercial that only runs in the South. I don't know if it still airs or not, but there's video on the website:
