Saturday Night Live opened things up this week with a Super Bowl parody. The show decided to take aim at CBS’s popular The NFL Today setup this week as the network has hosting duties for the biggest game of the year. James Brown, Boomer Esiason, Phil Simms, Nate Burleson and Coach Bill Cowher all get the strange joking treatment. Kenan couldn’t contain his amusement when Aidy Bryant had to pull double duty as both Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians. Things are off to a rolling start on the program with Phoebe Bridgers aboard as a musical guest. All of the cast members present seemed to get a giant kick out of the large pre-game show setup. Those kinds of desk sets allow multiple members of the ensemble to get in on the jokes. So, hopefully, the show can keep up this energy.
These Super Bowl ads really make you think. pic.twitter.com/GRNuWWjPR1
