President Biden will not take part in a traditional Super Bowl pre-show interview this year after Fox Corporation called off the sit-down, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says.
. The interview, which often touches on lighter topics suitable for a mass football audience, became a regular occurrence under then-President Barack Obama. Donald Trump also participated in the interview every year other than 2018. NBC was the host network for the game that year.
Fox is airing the 2023 Super Bowl, which takes place this weekend in Phoenix between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. Fox Soul is a streaming network within the company, which is described on its website as “a new live and interactive streaming channel dedicated to the African American viewer. The programs aim to celebrate black culture and deal with real topics that impact the everyday lives of the black community through frank and insightful dialogue with local and national influencers.”
Biden previously sat for Super Bowl interviews in 2021 with CBS's Norah O'Donnell and in 2022 with NBC's Lester Holt.
