Former Disney Channel star Brenda Song is set to make her debut as a color analyst during a preseason NFL game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints on Saturday. Song will join the CBS Los Angeles broadcast booth for the third quarter of the match. She is married to Macaulay Culkin, her former child actor spouse, and is currently starring in Netflix's comedy series Running Point. In her current role, Song plays Ali Lee, the Chief of Staff for the Los Angeles Waves basketball team.

Notably, Song sparked controversy in 2025 when she appeared on the Mythical Kitchen podcast and criticized Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula. Despite this, Song's football insights on the podcast impressed CBS Los Angeles, leading to her current role. Alongside her football expertise, Song is also a devoted fan of the Los Angeles Lakers.
