According to The Huffington Post, the Hillary Clinton campaign released this video demonstrating the support of Jack Nicholson:

UPDATE: Over at his The Chutry Experiment, Chuck Tryon explores the semiotics of this advertisement, noting that many of Nicholson’s characters are rebellious anti-establishment types, and muses on the collision between these associations and the Clinton campaign. Meanwhile, The Caucus blog at the New York Times discusses this video as well and, as a poster in the comments thread below concludes, doubts that it came from the campaign itself.

    I can’t find any evidence that Clinton’s campaign released the ad. It seems clear that Jack has endorsed Clinton and made the ad, but notice that Hillary never claims “authorship” of it by saying that she approves the ad.

    I’m not saying they didn’t make it, but there’s at least the possibility of plausible deniability. Still, it’s not exactly a ringing endorsement.
