Variety reported Monday (July 7) that Craig‘s retirement seems to be part of an advertising campaign for AT&T.
Craig has previously appeared in AT&T commercials and billboards around Los Angeles announcing his retirement appear to be in AT&T’s signature color scheme.
In a video shared the day after Craig‘s initial retirement announcement, he spoke about starting a business. He says, “Hey guys, big shout out to all my small business owners. Hey, you guys got any advice for me while I’m trying to get my business afloat? I hit a few bumps in the road and I sure would appreciate you guys’ tips.”
Although neither the company nor the comedian have yet announced their partnership, it seems to be pointing toward a marketing campaign by AT&T aimed at small business owners.
