NFL Network's Ian Rapoport initially reported Cooper and Hamm would handle the live introductions.
Cooper was born near Philadelphia, and he famously channeled his Eagles fandom for the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook, which helped him earn an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. He narrated the Super Bowl hype video the team shared Saturday on social media:
Hamm's love of all things St. Louis sports—the Chiefs are now Missouri's lone NFL team after the St. Louis Rams relocated—is equally well known. The former Mad Men lead channeled Don Draper when he narrated the video to accompany Kansas City's players receiving their Super Bowl rings in June:
Super Bowl LIX is scheduled to get underway at 6:30 p.m. ET, but fans have come to expect that time to be flexible given how long and elaborate the pregame festivities are.
