NBC Sports called on female Chiefs fan–no not that Chiefs fan–to help open Sunday Night Football this week.
Heidi Gardner of Saturday Night Live appears (after Carrie Underwood’s Waiting All Day for Saturday Night) to explain why rooting for Kansas City is so much fun.
Being a Chiefs fan can be “entirely unpredictable . . . or completely foreseeable. Unbelievably spectacular . . . or just the same thing over and over again,” Garnder says.
“I’m talking about winning,” she says. ““Maybe everyone else gets tired of us. But then, do something about it.”
Gardner also throws a little shade on the Chiefs’ opponent, the San Diego Chargers, talking about weird things coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert have done.
SNF is usually the highest rated primetime program on TV and NBC has been dressing it up by using big names to tease the upcoming matchup. Among those appearing so far this season are Celine Dion, Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Keaton.
