Pickler brings humor to big game
One of the Super Bowl media highlights was Kellie Pickler's segment on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
On the Super Bowl's media day, Kellie spent about an hour with each team. "They were big," she says. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh! No wonder they call you the Giants.' "
One of the funniest moments was when Kellie talked Patriot Kelley Washington and Giant Madison Hedgecock into trying on a pair of red high heels in honor of her recent hit. "They were size 14s; they weren't mine," she says. "The Tonight Show had a little goodie bag full of props, so I improvised.
"Most of it was just the first thing that popped into my head," she says. "I don't do very well with lines. I do better when I just say the first thing that pops out of my head."
Almost everyone appreciated her levity. "There was one announcer who was a prude," she says. "The Tonight Show is a fun show and we are just there to make everybody laugh and have a good time, so it's kind of awkward when people can't play along.
"The players have been sitting there all day long and they're being asked the same questions over and over and it becomes monotonous. I thought we needed to lighten it up and have a good time."
It appeared that the players appreciated being interviewed by a funny, beautiful blonde. "I didn't give out my number, but I did get a couple," she says.
