Very nice! Loved Mariska with the handcuffs (really now, who doesn't?) and Ice-T's WTF? face. Brava NBC!
Oh Mariska, my love for you just continues to grow.

Loved it! Was grinning like an idiot the whole time. Too bad Trump had to ruin it for a sec....
I absolutely adored it! Amy Poehler made me smile. And Kristen Wiig and the SNL gang were all so great! And Mariska... Just, yes. :)
Well, it's certainly a major improvement over the last time NBC used a Broadway song to self-promote.

Loved it as well. Was this on prior to the Super Bowl as I never saw it till now.
Aww Madbrian, I loved when they used that song, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
Here is the like to the before mentioned "Drew Carrey, Brotherhood of Man
Oh Drew!

and another reason to be sad there is no more chuck... would have loved zachary levi to be in it... but that was lovely!
Ice-T's WTF? face
Honestly my favorite part. "I am too cool for this singing business."
And gotta love Richard Belzer being goofy. He's been playing serious for so long it's easy to forget he started in stand up.

Haha, I also enjoyed Belzer's goofy dancing. As well as Sexy Mariska w/the handcuffs! (rawwwr) Loved the whole thing, but the SVU & SNL portions stole my heart!

I was actually really surprised with Amy Pohler. Not really being a tremendous fan of hers, I was very surprised to see she can carry a tune, and well!

I feel like that was kind of the point, Gaveston. It was an all-singing, all-dancing admission that NBC knows it's one of the weakest networks, and that its best shows get cancelled or pushed into bad time slots. DISGUISED as an endorsement of the network itself!
That's the biting-the-hand humor that NBC comedy specializes in.

Yay tamra2, another Chuck fan. Yet another reason to be sad is right. Still an awesome commercial.

"I'm loving the Chuck love in this thread..."
Me too!

I think it's funny how no one at Jack Donaghy's party is drinking alcohol... and he himself appears to be drinking water in a rocks glass.
Absolutely brilliant! As it was ending I was thinking, "What no Fallon?" Then he was the punch-line! Perfect!

On a related note- Mariska wants to do Broadway. Don't know about her singing voice other than the 2 seconds in the commercial. But I'd love to see her on stage, singing or not.
Yes please.

I was secretly hoping that when I clicked on this thread, it would have turned into a CHUCK love conversation. Glad to know I'm not the only one on here that was sad to see it omitted from this commercial!
