Nate Burleson CBS Nickelodeon Super Bowl coverage

CBS' Nate Burleson set for busy Super Bowl week with multiple roles including pregame analyst, Nickelodeon game commentator, and morning show co-host.

CBS' Nate Burleson is set to be a major presence at this year's Super Bowl, with multiple roles on various broadcasts and shows. Not only will he be an analyst on the Super Bowl pregame show, but he will also be commentating on Nickelodeon's game broadcast. In addition to these responsibilities, he will also be co-hosting Nickelodeon's weekly "NFL Slimetime" show, adding to what is already a busy week for him.

Transitioning from an 11-year playing career to television, Burleson has been with CBS since 2017 and has been a co-host on "CBS Mornings" since September 2021. However, the time difference poses a new challenge for him, as the morning show starts at 4 a.m. Pacific time, requiring him to wake up even earlier than usual.

Despite the demands of his schedule, Burleson is committed to getting enough sleep and staying focused on his responsibilities. He recognizes that this Super Bowl week will be physically and intellectually demanding but is up for the challenge. He is particularly excited about the Nickelodeon game broadcast, which will be the first alternate broadcast of a Super Bowl, featuring enhanced graphics and advanced augmented reality to immerse viewers in a unique experience.

While Burleson was hoping to see his former team, the Detroit Lions, in the Super Bowl, he is nonetheless excited about the matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. He sees both teams as having compelling storylines and is particularly impressed with the performance of quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes.

Overall, Burleson's diverse roles and commitments during Super Bowl week highlight his versatility and dedication as a broadcaster, and he is looking forward to delivering an engaging and unique viewing experience for audiences.
