Seacrest To "Host" Super Bowl
Apparently, Fox is planning to turn up the entertainment content of the Super Bowl next February 3. The network announced today (Thursday) that Ryan Seacrest, host of American Idol, will emcee the halftime show and conduct interviews with celebrities arriving at the Glendale, AZ site of the game. Neither the network nor Fox has announced other talent for the halftime show. Today's (Thursday) Daily Variety observed that naming a red-carpet host is a first for a Super Bowl. The trade paper suggested that it was aimed at "trying to increase entertainment quotient to bring in non-football fans and increase already massive viewership."
