The 15 best moments from the Simpsons Funday Football broadcast

The Simpsons Funday Football broadcast was a great time.

Monday night’s Simpsons Funday Football broadcast went off without a hitch.

The incredibly fun Simpsons-themed ESPN broadcast of the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys game gave fans some incredibly memorable moments throughout the evening.

As Homer Simpson’s Cowboys and Bart Simpson’s Bengals battled each other on the Springfield gridiron, the broadcast featured some hilarious sequences that would even make the Comic Book Guy impressed.

Even if you never want to see a Simpsons-themed NFL game again, you have to admit this was pretty enjoyable in spurts at the least.

Let’s recap 15 of those moments that we’ll be talking about all week.

Mina Kimes, Dan Orlovsky and Drew Carter did a great job with the game broadcast.

Dancing with the Stars crowned Joey Graziadei as its latest champion

Dancing with the Stars has crowned its latest champion.

The latest season of Dancing with the Stars has crowned a new champion.

The reality dancing competition’s 33rd season ended with The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei taking home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy over the other four finalists. 

Team USA Olympians Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik, former NFL receiver Danny Amendola and television star Chandler Kinney participated in Tuesday night’s finale but didn’t take home the top prize.

It was Graziadei who was victorious. Best known for starring on the ABC reality dating show, Graziadei will now hold one of the biggest reigning prizes in televised reality competition.

He was partnered with professional dancer Jenna Johnson during the season.

The 34th season of Dancing with the Stars, marking the show’s 20th anniversary, should air sometime in 2025.

Danny Amendola danced to ‘I’m Just Ken’ during the Dancing with the Stars finale

Danny Amendola is Kenough.

Former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola tapped into his inner “Ken-ergy” for his Dancing with the Stars finale freestyle routine.

Amendola paid homage to Ryan Gosling’s Oscar-nominated turn as Ken in 2023’s Barbie by dancing to “I’m Just Ken.”

The whole number earned raves from the show’s judges for its entertainment value, and the costumes and production design from Amendola’s dance felt ripped straight out of Barbieland. It was pretty fantastic.

Amendola also danced along to a rendition of Deadpool & Wolverine‘s “Bye Bye Bye” opening scene earlier in the season, giving his run on the show a couple of cinematic moments for fans to remember.

Dwight Howard was eliminated from the latest Dancing with the Stars after an impressive run

Dwight Howard’s time on Dancing with the Stars ended on Tuesday night.

Former NBA star Dwight Howard’s Dancing with the Stars journey came to an end on Tuesday night.

Howard and his dance partner Daniella Karagach made it to the competition’s quarterfinals, one celebrating past dance routines in the show’s history for its 500th episode, but couldn’t advance to next week’s semifinal round.

Three other athletes, former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola and recent Team USA Olympians Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik, all advanced to the show’s semifinals.

Howard, the former Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets standout, won an NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. He most recently played for the Taoyuan Taiwan Beer Leopards from 2022-2023.

Wheel of Fortune contestant Will gave the greatest wrong answer ever

Alright, this might be the greatest wrong answer in Wheel of Fortune history.

Plenty of Wheel of Fortune contestants have gotten puzzles wrong (remember the NSFW answer?) on the long-running game show, but this one might take the cake.

During Monday night’s episode, contestant Will got his chance to solve a puzzle on the board for a phrase.

The real answer was “Give yourself a round of applause,” but Will found something even more wonderful in the puzzle.

His answer was, “Treat yourself a round of sausage.”

Of course, Will got the “wrong” buzzer as fellow contestant Kitina solved it an answer later. New show host Ryan Seacrest looked a bit bewildered by Will’s answer at first, but he eventually caved to how hilarious it was.

“Although, Will, I kind of like yours better,” Seacrest told Will, who at least looked pleased with himself for giving such an epic solution to the puzzle. “That sounds better than just clapping right now.”

Will didn’t solve the puzzle, but he won America’s laughter in the process.

The final season of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things is finally coming out next year, and we now know the names of the last eight episodes.

Severance’s new season 2 trailer shows off a terrifying twist to the office

Something is definitely amiss in the office in Severance season 2.

Fans of Apple TV+ hit show Severance won’t have too much longer to wait until the highly-anticipated season two hits the streaming service.

On Wednesday, Apple TV+ released the official teaser trailer for Severance season two — which is set to release on January 17, 2025 — and it shows off a terrifying change to Lumon Industries. At the end of season one, Adam Scott’s Mark Scout learned the fate of his wife before things went south and the Lumon Industries’ employees freedom was tragically snatched away from them.

And now, it seems like things are really amiss at the office, as at the end of this new trailer, Mark is shown to have three new coworkers, replacing the trio of Dylan, Helly and Irving — played by Zach Cherry, Britt Lower and John Turturro, respectively.

We can’t wait to see how this all resolves when season two drops in just a few months!

Danny Amendola paid tribute to Mike Leach with a touching routine on Dancing with the Stars

This is such a cool gesture from Danny Amendola to his late college coach.

Paying homage to his late college coach, former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola was a big winner on Tuesday night’s latest Dancing with the Stars.

Amendola and his dance partner, Witney Carson, performed a routine in honor of former college football coach Mike Leach.

Amendola played for Leach at Texas Tech, and it’s evident he wanted to make his former coach proud with this well-received dance routine.

“He told us to dream, that we could pay through hard work and dedication,” Amendola said on the broadcast about Leach. “Being a coach is a very selfless job, and I miss him dearly… This one’s for him.”

To make it even cooler, Amendola stayed in the competition for another week with this touching tribute.

Anna Delvey gave a blunt response to what she took away from Dancing with the Stars after being eliminated

Alright then!

Anna Delvey, a convicted con artist and the subject of Netflix’s Inventing Anna, didn’t sound all that sentimental about her time ending on Dancing with the Stars on Monday night.

After Delvey was one of the first two eliminated from this latest season of the hit ABC celebrity dancing show, she was asked by co-host Julianne Hough what she took away from being part of the reality competition.

Delvey’s answer was pretty, shall we say, direct. “Nothing,” she replied.

Dang, that’s tough. Apparently, she didn’t take anything away from competing on Dancing with the Stars.

As far as answers go, that’s about as brutally honest as it can possibly get.
