Marlee Matlin is calling out CBS after the network didn’t feature the American Sign Language (ASL) performers during the live Super Bowl LVIII broadcast.
Deaf artists Shaheem Sanchez, Anjel Piñero and Daniel Durant were introduced during the game before their performances. Sanchez performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing” with Andra Day, Piñero was introduced to perform alongside Post Malone “America, The Beautiful” and Durant interpreted the National Anthem alongside Reba McEntire.
“I am absolutely SHOCKED at CBS for introducing the Deaf performers at today’s pregame #SuperBowl and then not showing even one second (or more) of their performance… as has been tradition for the last 30 years. WHY!?” Matlin posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
I am absolutely SHOCKED at @CBS for introducing the Deaf performers at today’s pregame #SuperBowl and then not showing even one second (or more) of their performance… as has been tradition for the last 30 years. WHY!?
Ahead of the Super Bowl, Matlin had posted on X a link to a CBS Sports page where the ASL performers would be featured.
Matlin had previously interacted with Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO questioned “the point of sign language in a video if you have subtitled.”
“As someone who uses both ASL and English, I can tell you they are grammatically and culturally different. So if someone who is Deaf and uses ASL exclusively, then a signer on screen provides access,” Matlin replied.
Respectfully, yes. As someone who uses both ASL and English, I can tell you they are grammatically and culturally different. So if someone who is Deaf and uses ASL exclusively, then a signer on screen provides access. https://t.co/ki8CayQV14

Whitney Houston.Every time I hear someone on “American Idol” or “The Voice” attempt the impossible by singing one of her songs.Every time I hear “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” in a bar or club and watch generations of women and men — both gay and straight — shimmy and sing at the top of their lungs.And every Grammys since I was there in Los Angeles that weekend when she shockingly passed — at age 48 — the day before music’s biggest night on Feb. 11, 2012.But perhaps I miss Houston the most every single time that someone steps up to the mic to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Deaf artists Anjel Piñero, Shaheem Sanchez and Daniel Durant were set to perform ASL during this year’s Super Bowl — but viewers watching the CBS telecast may not have actually seen them on air. That’s according to Oscar winner and Deaf actor Marlee Matlin, who expressed her frustration with the network on social media. “I am absolutely SHOCKED at CBS for introducing the Deaf performers at today’s pregame #SuperBowl and then not showing even one second (or more) of their performance… as has been tradition for the last 30 years.
waaaaaaave?Reba McEntire’s rendition of the national anthem clocked in at 95 seconds (1:35) Sunday night at the 2024 Super Bowl.That was a middle-of-the-pack length, historically. Renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner” here have ranged from as little as 62 seconds to more than two and a half minutes.The 68-year-old country music and TV star told Apple Music that, in the lead-up, she typically practiced for the big night in the morning while showering.“I’ve been singing the national anthem in the shower [and] when we get in the car,” she said, referring to boyfriend Rex Linn.“He’ll say, ‘OK, sing it one more time.’ I said, ‘I think I know the words real good right now, so I’m all right.’”The longest-ever Super Bowl “Star Spangled Banner” came in 2013, when “Girl on Fire” singer Alicia Keys performed a version at the piano that lasted 156 seconds (2:36). And the quickest — short and sweet — was sung by “Sweet Caroline” crooner Neil Diamond.
