NBC's Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth may be on the call for Super Bowl 60, but a pair of celebrities will reportedly be the ones doing the pregame intros.
Just like last year when Jon Hamm and Bradley Cooper introduced their respective teams ahead of Super Bowl LIX between the Chiefs and Eagles, another set of A-list stars will be the ones pumping up the crowd when the Patriots and Seahawks take the field.
And they, like everyone else, can't wait until this weekend's 6:30 PM ET kickoff at Levi's Stadium.

Chris Pratt, Jon Bon Jovi to introduce Super Bowl 60 teams
Per TMZ Sports, Jon Bon Jovi and Chris Pratt are slated to welcome their favorite teams to the field in Santa Clara, CA.
JBJ is a longtime Pats fan after following Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick to New England after their days coaching the Giants, and he's been a staple of Patriots Nation ever since. Meanwhile, Pratt grew up in the suburbs of Seattle and has been a member of the 12th Man for as long as he can remember.
The Super Bowl always attracts some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment and this year should be no different. Now it's just a matter of who will get the last laugh in Sunday's SB XLIX rematch.
Bad Bunny to headline Super Bowl halftime show
Of course, this year's halftime entertainment will be handled by none other than Puerto Rican-born rapper and singer Bad Bunny — one of the most popular musicians in the world.
Unfortunately with that has come a lot of political fallout due to the recent ICE crackdown (and outright xenophobia as well). And that has commissioner Roger Goodell walking a fine line when it comes to any potential messaging during Bad Bunny's performance.
“Listen, Bad Bunny is — and I think that was demonstrated [at the Grammys] last night — one of the great artists in the world, and that’s one of the reasons we chose him,” Goodell said at his news conference Monday.
“But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on, and that this platform is used to unite people, and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents, and to be able to use this moment to do that" the commissioner explained. "And I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that, and I think he’ll have a great performance.”
It should be an exciting night all-around for both sports and music fans. But only one side will be happy when clocks hit zero in The Bay.
