Megan Thee Stallion performs onstage during weekend two, day one of the Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park on October 08, 2021 in Austin, Texas.
Rick Kern/WireImageThe Hot Girl coach and a light switch connoisseur teamed up for a jungle-themed Super Bowl commercial for their favorite brand of chips, while a pop star enlisted her country icon godmother to help cell phone users with poor service get in touch with a better network. But which commercial from the 2022 Super Bowl is your favorite?
Megan Thee Stallion and Charlie Puth appeared in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos’ Super Bowl commercial this year, but not in their normal forms. The television spot sees the Hot Girl coach playing herself and a CGI bird hanging out in an alligator’s mouth, while Puth voices a beatboxing fox as Salt N’ Pepa’s “Push It” plays in the background, interrupting a wildlife photographer’s attempt at getting the perfect shot.
Miley Cyrus, with the help of Dolly Parton, wrote a faux-charity single as a PSA to those with bad cellular connectivity to make the switch over to T-Mobile. “America’s got a serious problem, so I’m gonna get it off my chest — 5G phones trapped on limited 5G networks,” Parton says, with Cyrus singing “Do It for the Phones” with the help of a backing choir.
Meanwhile, Kanye West had a starring role in the McDonald’s Super Bowl spot, appearing at the restaurant chain’s drive-through in a massive tank-sized vehicle, asking the attendant at the window, “Can I get uhhhhhh …” before completing his order.
Other Super Bowl commercial featuring musicians include Snoop Dogg appearing alongside Martha Stewart, Lizzo, Kenny G, Will Smith and more, but which ad is your favorite? Vote below!

Live from London, it is Saturday Night Live.
The legendary sketch comedy institution officially launched its UK edition on March 21 with Saturday Night Live UK, featuring former SNL cast member Tina Fey as host and British indie rock group Wet Leg as the episode’s musical guest.
This global expansion of Lorne Michaels’ famous NBC program began with Fey’s opening monologue, which included unexpected cameos from Michael Cera and UK television personality Graham Norton.
“It’s an absolute honour and kind of historic,” Fey told the crowd. “Guys, I am the youngest person to ever host SNL UK!”
During the broadcast, Wet Leg delivered performances of two songs taken from their second album Moisturizer, which opened at Number 6 on Billboard’s Top Rock and Alternative Albums chart and also climbed to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart in the United Kingdom.
The band first appeared performing the record’s fourth single “Mangetout,” a Grammy nominated song that also earned a place on Billboard’s list of the 20 best UK and Ireland songs of 2025. Later in the show they returned to play the album’s lead single “Catch These Fists.”
After their appearance on SNL UK, Wet Leg will travel back to the United States for a series of major festival dates including Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. Their US tour is scheduled to begin April 15 at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California.
Upcoming episodes of SNL UK have also been confirmed. Wolf Alice will serve as musical guest on the March 28 episode hosted by Jamie Dornan, while Kasabian will perform on the April 2 show with Riz Ahmed as host.
The show is broadcast on Sky in the United Kingdom and is available to stream on Peacock in the United States. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first episode attracted more than 220,000 viewers on Sky. It was released in the US on March 22 via Peacock.
