The Super Bowl That Went Sideways for Nick Wright
The Philadelphia Eagles soared to victory in Super Bowl LIX, but over at FS1’s First Things First, the party was all about the Kansas City Chiefs—thanks to Nick Wright’s unwavering confidence.
Despite the Chiefs’ crushing 40-22 loss, Wright’s pre-planned celebration for a Chiefs win turned into a hilarious roast session, courtesy of his co-hosts Kevin Wildes and Chris Broussard.
Confetti, balloons, breakdancers, and even a marching band made an appearance, turning the show into a must-watch comedy special.
The Confetti Shower of Shame
Nick Wright had been riding hard for the Chiefs all season, convinced that Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes would lead the team to a historic “three-peat.” But when the Eagles dominated the Super Bowl, Wright’s confidence came crashing down.
To kick off the show, Wildes and Broussard decided to make the most of the green and white confetti they had on hand—originally meant for a Chiefs victory. Instead, it became a shower of shame for Wright, who sat there covered in the remnants of his shattered dreams.
The Marching Band Interruption
As Wright tried to explain when he first doubted the Chiefs’ chances, saying, “At 10-0, I felt fine,” he was abruptly cut off by a marching band.
The band, booked in anticipation of a Chiefs win, hilariously interrupted his train of thought, much to the delight of Wildes and Broussard. The timing was perfect, and the absurdity of the situation had everyone in stitches.
Balloons Fall, But Wright Stands Tall
Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any more ridiculous, red and gold balloons began to fall from the ceiling as Wright tried to analyze Mahomes’ second interception. Despite the chaos, Wright remained composed, admitting he had to “go for a walk” during halftime when the score was 24-0.
He returned with “renewed hope,” but the balloons kept coming, symbolizing the deflated dreams of Chiefs fans everywhere.
Breakdancers Enter the Fray
Chris Broussard took the pranks to the next level by comparing the Chiefs’ performance to breakdancers. “I never in my life thought I would say that these Chiefs looked like breakdancers,” Broussard quipped, cueing a trio of dancers who took the stage to add another layer of absurdity to the show. The breakdancers’ performance was a hit, but it only added to Wright’s misery.
The Singers Deliver an “F” for the Chiefs
Broussard gave the breakdancers an “A” for their performance but handed the Chiefs an “F” for their Super Bowl showing. To drive the point home, a musical trio clad in red tuxedo jackets and holding a giant “F” sign took the stage.
They serenaded Wright with a custom diss track aimed at the Chiefs, leaving him no choice but to sit there and take it.
Trumpeters Herald the End of Wright’s Dreams
Wildes had planned to crown Patrick Mahomes as “NFL royalty” if the Chiefs had won. Instead, trumpeters appeared to mockingly herald the end of Wright’s hopes. The dramatic music added a touch of irony to the already chaotic scene, making it clear that Wright’s predictions had backfired spectacularly.
Banners, Greg Jennings, and Total Chaos
The grand finale saw Wright unveiling the banners he had prepared for a Chiefs victory. As he pulled off the covers, the marching band returned, this time led by former NFL wideout and current FOX Sports analyst Greg Jennings. Jennings, draped in an Eagles flag, brought the house down as confetti rained once again. The chaos was complete, and Wright was left to face the music—literally.
A Celebration Gone Wrong
What was supposed to be a celebration of the Chiefs’ third consecutive Super Bowl win turned into a roast session for Nick Wright. Confetti, balloons, breakdancers, and a marching band turned the First Things First set into a comedy goldmine.
While Wright may have been the butt of the joke, the episode was a win for viewers who got to see one of the most entertaining post-Super Bowl shows in recent memory.
