Amber Preston
Flo the Progressive Girl, one of advertising's biggest stars, is getting a new co-star - and it just might be a Minnesotan. Amber Preston, a standup comedian, is one of three finalists for a chance to star with Flo (Stephanie Courtney) in a new commerical. The nationwide search concludes Tuesday with auditions with Flo in front of Progressive Insurance representatives. The winner will be announced that same day.
Preston said her edge is that she looks a lot like Flo, especially when she dons red lipstick, and represents "good Midwestern, salt-of-the-earth people." See for yourself in her audition video:
