Brenda Song Loves the Los Angeles Rams So Much She Ended Up in a Broadcast Booth at SoFi Stadium
The veteran star is such a diehard Los Angeles Rams fan that the team not only invited Song (and longtime partner Macaulay Culkin ) to a preseason matchup with the New Orleans Saints, they welcomed her into a broadcast booth to offer color commentary on CBS L.A. Song happened to be on the air during the third quarter for one of the game’s most thrilling moments when Alex Cook returned an interception 100 yards to the end zone as the Rams dropped an exclamation point on the Saints with a 34-0 victory.

It was a coup for Song, who is as passionate about defense as she is about rattling off the names and stats of some of her favorite players. Even those close to her are surprised by how knowledgeable and passionate she is about the hometown team. “For our opening game last season against the Colts, I actually brought Dave Stassen and Scott MacArthur, our showrunner and one of the stars of Running Point, and they said they saw a different side of me from the opening kick-off,'” Song told The Hollywood Reporter immediately after Saturday’s game. “They said, ‘You were a different person. You didn’t speak to us. You were on the edge of your seat from the first play.’ I said, ‘Yes because every play matters. Every inch matters. There’s no other game like it.’ That’s why I love it so much.”
