Prior to Super Bowl XLV on Feburary 6, FOX plans to roll out a red carpet outside Cowboys Stadium where Michael Strahan and Maria Menounos will interview celebrities and various athletes as the enter the event.

FOX did this back in 2008, although that time they used American Idol host Ryan Seacrest to host the red carpet. This led to the inevitable HARF HARF gay jokes from athletes, like this zinger from Terry Bradshaw:
