Brenda Song said her Los Angeles Rams fandom led her from the stands to a broadcast booth at SoFi Stadium

Brenda Song, best known for her role in the NBC/Peacock series “Running Point,” said her devotion to the Los Angeles Rams helped put her in a broadcast booth at SoFi Stadium, where she made a television broadcast debut, according to an interview published by The Hollywood Reporter on Aug. 24, 2026.

In the interview, Song described the moment she ended up on the sideline and into the stadium’s media space, speaking with THR after her appearance while she rode in a golf cart. She characterized her connection to football as an active interest, not a casual hobby, and said the experience brought her closer to the game in a new way.

Song also tied her Rams fandom to a specific part of the sport. She told THR that she is drawn to defense, and that her understanding of defensive play is central to how she watches and discusses the team. In the interview, her comments linked that emphasis on defense to why football has become a persistent part of her viewing routine.

Beyond the game itself, Song said the sports connection has had a personal dimension. She told THR that her love for sports, including her interest in the Rams, has played a role in bringing her closer to partner Macaulay Culkin, in part by sharing a framework for conversations and mutual interests that extend beyond entertainment.

While the interview focused on Song’s experience and her perspective as a broadcaster-at-work, it also placed the move into a recognizable media pipeline. A stadium broadcast booth is typically the place where production staff and on-air talent coordinate live coverage, and Song’s appearance there positioned her not only as a fan in attendance, but as someone participating in the broadcast environment.

The Hollywood Reporter did not present additional details in its published summary about the specific Rams-related event she worked, the network or production team for the booth segment, or whether she had prior broadcasting experience beyond this debut. Those details would be necessary to fully characterize the scope of her on-air role.

For audiences, Song’s participation reflects how major sports venues have become part of broader entertainment ecosystems, where film and television stars can intersect with live broadcast production. For media outlets and production teams, it underscores the logistical and scheduling realities of working guest talent into live stadium coverage, including coordination around the booth and timing during game-day programming.

Song’s remarks, as presented by THR, also add to a continuing cultural trend in which celebrities publicly discuss the way specific teams, positions, or elements of play shape their sports identities, and how those identities can feed into personal relationships and everyday conversation.
