John C. Reilly Preaches Pure Mayhem in Jack White's "Archbishop Harold Holmes"

Just Like It Ever Was

Jack White and John C. Reilly's "Archbishop Harold Holmes" Video is a Holy Spectacle

Jack White has unleashed a fantastic new video for "Archbishop Harold Holmes," a standout song from his critically acclaimed 2024 album, No Name. The song was initially made available to fans as a 7-inch single on White's own Third Man Records, featuring the studio version on Side A and a live recording from The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, MI, on Side B. The video, a testament to White's deep-rooted friendships and willingness to cede creative control, sees long-time pal and actor John C. Reilly fully embody the titular, electrifying evangelical preacher. Reilly, who originally pitched the concept to White after being captivated by the track's chain-letter-inspired lyrics, commands the screen with a disturbingly frantic energy, casting blue lightning bolts from his hands and the altar as he lip-syncs the sermon. Directed by Gilbert Trejo, the clip features a charismatic ensemble including Sami Perez, Staz Lindes, Misha Lindes, and Arrow de Wilde, solidifying the track's burgeoning status as an alternative radio hit with a visual flair as compelling as White's signature blues-rock intensity.
