Super Bowl LX Teaser Reveals Andy Cohen
The preview cuts between Cohen dancing with party guests and the Nerds brand mascot. When his phone rings again, Cohen answers with a playful, “Hey bud! No, it’s always a good time!” He then says, “Oo, sorry, it’s my Taste Bud. You got news?” before the title card flashes: “Get your taste buds ready.” The date of the Super Bowl appears, and Cohen coos, “Oh that’s juicy!” The teaser ends with a tease of the full commercial.
Cohen’s Perspective
Cohen told News Of Los Angeles that working with Nerds was an easy choice because the brand feels “organic” to him. He added, “I only do things that are organic and that makes sense, and I’ve been eating Nerds since I was a little kid.” He described the shoot as a “pinch me” moment in a life full of “pinch me” moments. Cohen joked that the commercial was “nothing to complain about.” He said, “Not only was it a huge production which you’ll see from the spot, but also it was working with a brand that I love, and I got to eat Nerds all day. So I was just having a ball.” He contrasted the shoot with the previous week’s The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion, saying he “walked off because I’ve just kind of had it” and that he brought a different energy to the Nerds shoot.
Family Connection
Cohen, a 57-year-old father to Ben, 6, and Lucy, 3, explained how his kids are excited about the commercial. He said, “[Ben] can’t believe I have a Super Bowl ad and he’s been talking about this for months.” Cohen shared that he hosts a Super Bowl party each year that his son looks forward to. He added, “I was invited to the game, and I was like, there’s no way that I can go to the game and not have this party and be with Ben when we watch the ad.”
