===Parodies and commercials=== Actors from ''The Sopranos'' have reprised their roles, or at the very least parodied their roles, in various other media. [[Tony Sirico]] and [[Steve Schirripa]] appear in two separate Muppet-related Christmas specials, ''[[A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa]]'' and ''[[Elmo's Christmas Countdown]]'', parodying their roles on ''The Sopranos''. Sirico also appeared in a series of commercials for [[Denny's]] in-character as [[Paulie Gualtieri]], a nod to the restaurant chain's mention in "[[Pine Barrens (The Sopranos)|Pine Barrens]]".<ref>{{cite web |last=VanHooker |first=Brian |title=Tony Sirico's Commercial Acting, Ranked from 'Plausibly Sane' to 'Totally Fucking Walnuts' |url=https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/tony-sirico-commercials |website=[[MEL Magazine]] |date=October 2, 2021 |access-date=February 14, 2022 |archive-date=February 14, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220214211224/https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/tony-sirico-commercials |url-status=live }}</ref> [[James Gandolfini]] appeared on ''[[Weekend Update]]'' as a "New Jersey Resident" on the October 2, 2004, episode of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' to comment on the recent resignation of New Jersey governor [[Jim McGreevey]]. Gandolfini's character went unnamed, and hosts [[Tina Fey]] and [[Amy Poehler]] insisted at the segment's conclusion that he was "unidentified", but the character was clearly meant to be Tony Soprano.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nemetz |first1=Dave |title=James Gandolfini Never Hosted 'SNL'...

Soprano]] in a [[Chevrolet]] television commercial initially broadcast in 2022 during [[Super Bowl LVI]]. David Chase directed the commercial and treated it as a continuation of ''The Sopranos'' story. At Chase's insistence, former ''Sopranos'' director of photography [[Phil Abraham]] performed the filming.<ref name="chevyad">{{cite web |last1=Steinberg |first1=Brian |title=How Chevrolet Drove 'The Sopranos' and David Chase to Super Bowl LVI |url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/sopranos-super-bowl-commercial-chevrolet-david-chase-1235180365/ |website=Variety |date=February 13, 2022 |access-date=February 16, 2022 |archive-date=February 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220215124529/https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/sopranos-super-bowl-commercial-chevrolet-david-chase-1235180365/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The ad recreates the opening-title sequence of ''The Sopranos'', with Meadow driving a [[Chevrolet Silverado EV|Silverado EV]] (as opposed to Tony's [[Chevrolet Suburban]]) and meeting A.J. at Bahrs Landing, featured in ''[[The Many Saints of Newark]]''. Along the way, she passes some ''Sopranos'' landmarks including [[Satriale's Pork Store|Satriale's]]. Chase wanted the commercial to continue the intrigue surrounding ''The Sopranos'' [[Made in America (The Sopranos)|finale]]: besides the visual allusion to the episode with Meadow's parking, Chase intentionally left open why Meadow and A.J. were at the restaurant and who they could be meeting there.<ref name="chevyad" />
