Hamm is a native of St. Louis, Missouri. He attended Mizzou during the 1990’s and later moved to Los Angeles in 1995 to pursue an acting career.
The Chiefs are looking to win their 3rd consecutive Super Bowl on Sunday night in New Orleans. They previously beat this Eagles team in Super Bowl 57 and then defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 last year. For Patrick Mahomes, this would be the 4th Super Bowl ring of his career if he’s able to win it.
The Eagles, meanwhile, vying for their 1st Super Bowl title since 2017. This would be their 2nd-ever Super Bowl title if they’re able to pull off the upset against Kansas City. It’s also a revenge spot for Philadelphia after the team lost to Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl 2 years ago.
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
