  • You're excited to be here.

  • But are you excited for the Super Bowl this Sunday?

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • It's like the Super Bowl of football games.

  • That's what it's like.

  • How many 49ers' fans are here?

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • How many Chiefs' fans are here?

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • How many people just like to woo and clap and [INAUDIBLE]..

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • Yeah.

  • It's sad when your team doesn't make it.

  • I'm friends with Drew Brees, as you can see.

  • His jersey is up there.

  • I love Drew Brees.

  • I love the Saints.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • They lost in the playoffs.

  • And then I'm friends also with Aaron Rodgers.

  • And I was rooting for the Packers.

  • They lost in the playoffs.

  • So here's what I'm going to do.

  • I am going to become friends with all the NFL quarterbacks.

  • So I can't lose #relatable right there.

  • Everyone wants their team to win.

  • That's why some people become fans of teams for cities

  • they're not even from.

  • You'll ask them why they're Boston Patriots fans.

  • And they like, oh, my uncle's college roommate

  • knew a guy who spent the summer in Boston.

  • No one ever does that for losing teams.

  • No one ever says, you know, some elaborate story just

  • to root for the Cleveland Browns.

  • They say the Super Bowl is the most watched sporting event.

  • I think it's the least watched sporting event, as well.

  • Because you go to a Super Bowl party,

  • no one's watching the game.

  • Everyone's talking the whole time, eating guacamole dip.

  • And all of a sudden someone's like, shh!

  • The commercials are on.

  • No one wants to miss a second of those.

  • A lot of people say the commercials are actually

  • the most exciting part of the game.

  • And I couldn't agree more, especially because this year I

  • got to make a Super Bowl commercial with my wife.

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

  • #relatable.

  • People also love gambling on the Super Bowl.

  • A lot of them spend--

  • anything.

  • They will bet on anything at all.

  • Like, who will win the coin toss?

  • Or will they pour orange Gatorade on the coach's head?

  • Which is a dumb bet.

  • That's why I put $500 on purple Gatorade.

  • This is like our Super Bowl show.

  • And you can make bets here, too.

  • You can bet how many times Andy is going to be on his phone

  • during the show.

  • Or if Mary's rash will flare up.

  • No.

  • It's hard to see, because it's under the clothes.

  • Or if these two will make out by the end of the show.

  • [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

You're excited to be here.
