ST. LOUIS (KMOX) — St. Louis native John Goodman recently starred in two commercials by Explore St. Louis highlighting our region’s food and music scenes.

“Don’t ever think you’ve got it rough, because the kids at Cardinal Glennon got in ten times worse and they are handling it better than I ever would. That really impressed me,” Goodman added.

The ads, a part of Explore St. Louis’ ‘In the Know’ TV campaign, celebrate unique lesser-known aspects of the metro area. The series of ads debuted in 2017 with local Emmy-winning actor Sterling K. Brown leading the exploration of St. Louis’ hidden gems.

Following Goodman, Andy Cohen and Jackie Joyner-Kersee are on deck to be featured in upcoming “In the Know” ads.
