I thought the voice in both the Special K and AmEx commercials was
extremely annoying, but though I could tell it was the same person in
both, I had no idea it was Lauren Graham. Which is odd, because while
I find her Lorelai character's *personality* very annoying, her *voice*
never bothered me. It just doesn't sound like LG in the commercial.
