THE PRE-GAME

The Pre-Game is a branded panel/talk show sponsored by Miller Lite. Directed by myself and hosted by comedian Cy Amundson we created a branded series targeted at millenial males. With guests such as Grammy winner Brian McKnight, Pro-Bowler Shawne Merriman, wrestler Chavo Guerrero Jr, and a host of others, we delivered 16 episodes of a hilarious, Telly Award winning series to the client and drove brand awareness to Miller Lite.

 This episode features Mike Mitchell of sketch comedy group "The Birthday Boys" and comedian Blake Wexler. Listen to the guys talk through all of the ups and downs of spending Thanksgiving with your family before picking the Chicago Bears-Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game with the food toss challenge. (It gets a little messy.)
This episode features 16-time Grammy nominee Brian McKnight and comedian Heather McDonald breaking down the worse NFL fan outfits and pick winners for Thursday's matchup between the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. Then Brian revisits his biggest hit, "Back At One"- only this time he sings realistic lyrics for today's relationships. And it's hilarious.
This episode features former NFL Pro Bowler Shawne Merriman and comedian Dan St. Germain making fun of today's most popular athletes in their most embarrassing outfits, the Athlete or Kanye Tweet Quiz and Cy taking down Shawne in an epic wrestling match. (Sort of.)
