Kaiser Permanente has Allison Janney as Their Voice
Allison Janney is pretty awesome. She is most recognizable as CJ Cregg on the West Wing who started out as the White House Press Secretary, modelled after Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Meyers, and went on to become the White House Chief of Staff (I think that stretched the bounds of credibility but whatever, it was a good show). However, she has been in many other things from Private Parts, the Howard Stern vanity project, to American Beauty, to Juno, to 10 Things I hate about you, etc and so on. Now, since 2004, she has been doing the voice over for the Kaiser Permanente Thrive campaign.

I agree with sbenz but it is really the total sappiness of the commercials that is bad. Come on, adoring doctors and praising trees. Get real.

but she delivers it with unparalleled grace

Love Allison Janney and the Kaiser “thrive” ads!

Thank you for solving the mystery of the voice for the “thrive” comercial. I thought it was Mariette Hartley. Now who is the voice for Public Storage? The “This stuff’s got to go!” comercial.

Not sorry! Can’t stand her voice or the sappy writing of the spots.

her voice is very irritating and the scripts for the kaiser ads are boring and dumb. thrive, thrive, thrive, boring… they should have used sean connery’s voice or gene hackman. her voice sounds a like mean old bitch boss and sounds condescending. kaiser- wrong move.

I LOVE the Kaiser ads. Stayin Alive is one of my most favorite ones. I think Allison has an outstanding voice for these ads and does a wonderful delivery. The messages sent by Kaiser are something everyone can benefit from and it makes some people stop and think. To Thrive or not to Thrive.
