#Super Bowl pre-game show, ‘commercials’

This weekend’s new episode of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Dan Levy, and we’ll be honest: We had no real idea what the cold open would be ahead of time. We’re not in an era where the show needs to lean on politics as they once did, and a Joe Biden impersonation won’t get the same headlines as Donald Trump.

So what did the show decide to lean into this go-around? As it turns out, they actually did something about the Super Bowl right away. The sketch got off to a rough start, as the camera and effects crew switched around some of the names. We understand the interest in leaning on the NFL right from the get-go, but what would the twist be here? There’s nothing about CBS’ pre-game coverage (the subject of the article) that was inherently funny.

Here’s where things got a little interesting: SNL finding a way to spoof other networks’ coverage of the big game. Take, for example, Andy Cohen’s coverage of the game on Bravo.
