Justin Long and John Hodgman reunite to say there's only one Ozempic

Episode Description

You’ll recall that actors Justin Long and John Hodgman achieved advertising fame in the latter part of the 2000s for their participation in Apple’s long-running Get a Mac campaign.

Now, the pair have reunited for Novo Nordisk’s There’s Only One Ozempic campaign, which debuted Tuesday morning.

In the spots, Long represents Ozempic and its FDA-approved indications, while Hodgman represents “other GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes.”

Novo’s latest consumer-focused brand campaign seeks to differentiate Ozempic from other GLP-1 drugs on the market by underscoring its multiple clinical indications for people living with type 2 diabetes.

As such the pair are featured in a handful of light-hearted ads that take place in front of a water cooler, a whiteboard and on a game show set.

To promote the ad campaign, Long and Hodgman joined managing editor Jack O’Brien for a lively joint interview on this week’s episode of the podcast.
