What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Hollywood Reporter says Dancing With the Stars has its Super Bowl Night, where the eleven remaining couples reinterpret halftime shows like Kendrick Lamar's and Bad Bunny's.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo here is the question: is the halftime show the best part of the Super Bowl?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNo. The game is the best part of the Super Bowl, and I say that as a man who has watched exactly one halftime show all the way through.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentExactly one? Hank, I've seen Bad Bunny's set nineteen times, and in my group chat it's the only part anyone remembers.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAs a former pageant girl, I will defend the halftime show to my grave.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI once did a baton routine in a parking garage and it was a career highlight.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA garage.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe acoustics must have been unreal. And that's why I'm changing sides: if Vera is for it, I need to be against it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou switched sides over a baton, Kenji.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is the pettiest thing anyone has done on this couch since Hank refused to learn the word podcast.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFine, I'll say it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIf the dancers need eleven couples to redo one halftime, the original was clearly too much work for one man with a guitar.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentChat, hands up if you'd watch Hank do the Lamar routine. Vera says yes, Hank says no, and I say the toaster is his partner.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe toaster stays unplugged.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt already replicated. That's your second toaster, and now you have a finale partner.
