Former Disney Channel actress Brenda Song is making her debut as a color analyst during the preseason game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints on Saturday.

She will be part of the CBS Los Angeles booth during the third quarter of the game.

Song, who is married to former child actor Macaulay Culkin, is currently part of the Netflix comedy series “Running Point”. She plays Ali Lee, who is the Chief of Staff for the Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise.

How Did Song Land The Job?

Song went on the “Mythical Kitchen” podcast in 2025 and shocked fans when she ranted about Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula. She gave Shula advice on how to improve the Rams’ defense.

“Let me tell you, Chris Shula, I like you a lot. I like what you’ve done with our front four,” Song said on the podcast. “But my issue is: We don’t have a run-stopper. We don’t use our middle linebackers in the middle. We can’t stop the run.”

Song continued to show off her football knowledge on the podcast, which helped her land the color analyst job with CBS Los Angeles. In addition to her football knowledge, Song is a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers fan.
