Meet the New Toilet Queen Iris Hill
Jane Lynch joined the Procter & Gamble Charmin brand on Dec. 29 as emcee of the culminating event of a two-month nationwide search to find the Charmin Go Nation King or Queen of the Throne.
Alabama’s contest representative, Iris Hill, was crowned the winner and awarded the $50,000 grand prize after proving her throne-worthiness in bathroom trivia knowledge and on point toilet paper, mummy-wrapping skills.
As the Charmin Go Nation Queen, she will preside over the Charmin Restrooms for the last few days of 2010, sharing her Charmin enthusiasm by greeting and welcoming visitors and their families to New York City.
