The Los Angeles Rams already delivered a shakeup to their NFL preseason television booth, with Jourdan Rodrigue and Rob Havenstein taking over the color commentator duties previously held by Mina Kimes and Maurice Jones-Drew. And now, the Rams are stepping up their creativity with the analyst contributions.
Stu Jackson, a beat writer for the team’s official website, reported on Friday night that actress Brenda Song will make her debut as a color analyst alongside Rodrigue, Havenstein, and play-by-play announcer J.B. Long for the Rams’ preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on Saturday.
I’m being told that @BrendaSong will make her color analyst debut tomorrow.
The actress will join @JourdanRodrigue, Rob Havenstein, and @JB_Long in the @CBSLosAngeles booth during the third quarter of Rams vs. Saints.

Song is an avid fan of the Rams and the Los Angeles sports scene, and she attends many sporting events with her partner, Macaulay Culkin.
Last year, Song starred as a “Rams new anchor” in one of the top 2025 NFL schedule release videos.
BRENDA. KNOWS. BALL.

The Rams-Saints game at SoFi Stadium will begin at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. local time) on Saturday. Strong will join the CBS Los Angeles broadcast in the third quarter, and her commentary should make for entertaining television.
