00:00It's a Harry Met Sally reunion. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan joined forces for an upcoming
00:09Super Bowl spot for Hellman's, returning to Cat's Deli on New York's Lower East Side
00:14for the first time since their 1989 romantic comedy, When Harry Met Sally, was released.
00:20Crystal and Ryan reprised their respective roles as Harry Burns and Sally Albright to
00:25recreate one of the most famous scenes in comedy history, at the same table where the
00:29original moment was filmed 35 years ago.
00:41The commercial recreates the scene with Ryan really, really enjoying a turkey sandwich
00:45with Hellman's mayo.
00:51As for who could deliver that iconic scene-ending line, the mayo brand turned to a modern-day
00:56rom-com star.
00:59Director Jake Szymanski noted,
01:01Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal both said they hadn't been back inside Cats' since they
01:05shot the scene, so we got to be there for the moment when they both walked on set.
01:09He added,
01:10We just wanted to do it right and make it look right. When you have celebrities like
01:13this who are doing something iconic, you want to try to make something that feels like only
01:17they could have done it.
