After some Republicans criticized the NFL for picking Bad Bunny to headline the 2026 Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, one conservative organization is now looking to have its own All American show.
Turning Point USA, a right-wing political advocacy organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk, announced on Thursday that its holding its own performance during footballs biggest night on Sunday, Feb. 8, that will likely be streamed online.
HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT Its true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All American Halftime Show, the org wrote on social media. Performers and event details coming soon.
While it hasnt been revealed who the artist would be, House Speaker Mike Johnson previously suggested 1980s country singer Lee Greenwood as a good pick for the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

(4,097 posts)Kid Rock enters stage right and delivers a medley of white-trash rap, followed by Lee Greenwood who comes out and croons "Proud to be an American" to an effigy of Anita Bryant before doing a double-shot of Old Grand-Dad with a Schlitz chaser off of Dean Cain's flabby gut.
Stephen Baldwin, Jon Voight and James Woods then dance in from stage left, nude and oiled up and doing the can-can before collapsing with the other performers into a greasy mass of reactionary stench, after which Trump himself comes out playing a very small banjo for an encore of "She'll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain."
Caitlyn Jenner then roller-blades onto the stage and exclaims, "Wow, what a great show! What do you call your act?" after which they all cry in unison: "THE ARISTOCRATS!"

Let's see, Up With People, the New Christy Minstrels, and an Osmond Tribute Group. Yeah, that'll keep everyone glued to their flatscreens.

(11,450 posts)Are they going to persuade/bribe/blackmail the NFL into having two separate performances? Will they be in the same stadium? Sequentially or simultaneously? Or will TP film the "alternative" show in advance and expect whatever network* shows the superbowl to air the recording? And will anyone remember who they or Kirk were in 4 months?
