It’s a full weekend at NBC for Saturday Night Live star Heidi Gardner, the latest celeb to appear in a Sunday Night Football promo.
The Kansas City native hyped up the Chiefs ahead of their hometown game against the Los Angeles Chargers while jamming out to Natasha Bedingfield’s ‘Unwritten’ in the network’s opening spot for Sunday’s event.
“Life is really what you make of it, like well, being a Chiefs fan,” she said after putting on vinyl of ‘Unwritten’ by the Grammy nominee.
“You can think of it as entirely unpredictable or completely foreseeable,” Gardner continued. “Unbelievably spectacular or just the same thing over and over and over again. I’m talking about winning.”
The promo featured clips of the Chiefs’ back-to-back wins at Super Bowl LVII and LVIII.
Gardner, who joined the cast of SNL in 2017, added as clips of the Chargers played, “Maybe everyone else gets tired of us. But then maybe do something about it. Don’t just say weird stuff or do weird things, or suddenly decide you have, like, swagger or something. Just play the game.
“I know, it looks easier than it is. And honestly, we like it that way. It seems to confuse everybody, which really can be a lot of fun,” said Gardner. “The Chiefs and the Chargers on Sunday night in Kansas City.”
Gardner’s Sunday Night Football appearance comes after Celine Dion, Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Keaton graced previous game openings this season.
