A Classic Rivalry Takes the Stage
Comedian Shane Gillis, a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, couldn’t resist taking a shot at the Dallas Cowboys while on stage at a Super Bowl LIX event in New Orleans. Known for his sharp wit and unapologetic fandom, Gillis made sure to remind the crowd of the Cowboys’ extended championship drought.
A Perfect Opportunity for a Roast
Gillis was performing at the Bud Light Backyard Bowl on Friday night, a pre-Super Bowl event filled with fans, entertainment, and—of course—plenty of beer. As he raised a toast to the Eagles, he saw the perfect opportunity to poke fun at one of their biggest rivals.
“We won’t see the Dallas Cowboys here anytime soon,” Gillis joked, drawing laughter and cheers from the crowd.
For Eagles fans, his comment was more than just a punchline—it was a reminder of how long the Cowboys have gone without reaching the big game. The last time Dallas played in a Super Bowl was in 1996, and their championship drought remains a favorite subject for rival fans.
More Gillis on Super Bowl Sunday
Gillis won’t just be making headlines for his Cowboys joke—he’ll also be appearing in a Bud Light commercial during the Super Bowl. The comedian has been a frequent face in Bud Light ads throughout the season, and fans are eager to see what the brand has in store for the big game.
The Countdown to Super Bowl LIX
As the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to face off, fans are gearing up for an exciting matchup. The game will air live on FOX, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. ET.
And for those tuning in for more than just football, Grammy-winning artist Kendrick Lamar is set to deliver an unforgettable halftime show.
For now, though, Eagles fans are enjoying the pre-game entertainment—especially when it comes at the Cowboys’ expense.
