SUPER BOWL HANGOVER: Dungy shoots ‘Disney World’ spot; Dave & Oprah’s secret love promo; TV ratings.
*Somewhere in the throng of madness immediately following the end of Super Bowl XLI, head coach Tony Dungy and running back Dominic Rhodes of the victorious Indianapolis Colts found each other and shot a commercial for Disney World. Right after the Colts' 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears at Miami's Dolphin Stadium, the pair looked into Disney’s cameras and shouted the famous line, “We’re going to Disney World!” Dungy became the first African American head coach to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy as Super Bowl champion, while Rhodes rushed for a game-leading 113 yards and a second quarter touchdown that put the Colts ahead for good.
*It only lasted 10 seconds, but it was by far one of the most memorable moments during the array of commercials that premiered Sunday night during the Super Bowl. The clip featured David Letterman in a promo for his “Late Show” program. (Watch promo below.) Dressed in the Colts uniform of his native Indianapolis, he was shown watching the game and stating with a mouthful of snack food, “You want the Bears and I want the Colts, but we both win because we're in love.” The camera pulls back to reveal Oprah Winfrey snuggled in his arms, wearing the orange and blue Bears jersey of the city where her daytime talk show is taped. Winfrey then turns to him and says, "Honey, don't talk with your mouth full," with Letterman responding, "Oh, sorry." The spot was secretly taped Wednesday, Jan. 24 at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, and marks the first time Letterman and Winfrey have appeared together since her visit to the Late Show on Dec. 1, 2005. That interview, following months of buildup from Letterman, was the fourth most watched episode of the “Late Show” ever.
*The Nielsen numbers are in and Sunday’s game was the second most-watch Super Bowl in history, drawing an estimated 93.2 million viewers. Only the 1996 Super Bowl between Dallas and Pittsburgh, which had 94.1 million viewers, had a bigger audience, according to Nielsen Media Research. The majority of Sunday’s Super Bowl viewers switched away to avoid “Criminal Minds,” which occupied the plush spot following the game. The CBS drama co-starring Shemar Moore was seen by 26.2 million viewers, which is its biggest audience to date, but it pales in comparison to the 38.1 million people who stuck around to watch “Grey’s Anatomy” after ABC's telecast of the big game last year.
