She was on House and revealed that she probably doesn't have much of a career beyond those commercials.

I totally signed up for Progressive auto insurance just because that guy gave $3 million to the Marijuana Policy Project. That was honestly the only reason I went with them.

fwiw, the Buffett Foundation has been sponsoring a contraception awareness campaign in Iowa and a few other states ("Avoid the Stork"). So some Geico money is going to decent places, too.

a couple of months ago my brother was telling me an amusing anecdote about his 7th grade math tutor, and after his story was over he casually says, as just an afterthought, "and a couple months after she left the school I recognize her as the lady in those progressive commercials," at which point I flip out and yell "FLO!?!??! Your teacher was Flo???"

what made it classic was that, prior to that twist at the end, the story he told couldn't have been any more of a 6/10, things you tell your brother in traffic kind of anecdote

I dream about Flo every night. I think about her during the day. I can imagine nailing all her holes. I want to cornhole her so hard that her eyes pop out. I also want Flo to sit on my face so I can work tongue magic on her progressive pussy. God, I hope she is a screamer! I want to make Flo eat the Geico lizzard! A good commercial would be Flo pleasuring herself with the Geico lizzard and talking dirty!

I've a friend who like to tease me about being a Flo fan. He made up a little for this by FB'ing me this fantastic article about Stephanie Courtney and her career up to and including Flo:
http://www.cosmopolitan.com/career/news/a38633/get-that-life-stephanie-courtney-flo-progressive/
There have been some roles I didn't get that I really wanted. Originally I auditioned for Joan for Mad Men. They said, "You didn't get that, but will you play a switchboard operator instead?" I said, "Sure!" Then I saw Christina Hendricks in that emerald dress, and I went, Oh, I get it now. I also auditioned for Pam for The Office. I didn't get far in that audition, but I was such a fan of the British Office I was just excited to be there. Both of the ladies who got these parts are so perfect. You have to audition for a thousand "no"s so you can get a "yes."
