Super Bowl fans call out Jon Hamm for sounding worse for wear while announcing KC Chiefs: 'The voice crack!'

Jon Hamm's announcing of the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 earned the ire of NFL fans on social media on Sunday. 

The Mad Men actor, 53, introduced the Chiefs, and TV viewers took to X/Twitter to criticize Hamm for what they said was a cracking voice.

'That voice crack,' one user commented with a laughing emoji, while another said, 'Slight crack in the voice for authenticity.'

The St. Louis, Missouri-born actor sought to inspire his favorite NFL team to win the Lombardi Trophy for a record third year in a row. 

One user commented, 'Jon hamm?! Hand them the L already.' 

Hamm was clad in a Kansas City Chiefs jersey as he hyped the reigning Super Bowl winners in an NFL first of using celebrities to announce the teams, with Bradley Cooper announcing the Philadelphia Eagles. 

One user commented on the leading men playing a role in the proceedings: 'bradley cooper and jon hamm??? this game is for the girls #SuperBowl.' 

Another user added, 'Jon Hamm Squeaked so Bradley Cooper could Squawk! #SuperBowl.'

One fan noted of the Emmy-winning actor, 'Jon Hamm has to be pissed about that voice crack,' while another said, 'Jon Hamm voice squeak gives me so much hope in life.'

One fan joked that the league should strive to get the A-list actors even more involved in the game: 'The Chiefs and Eagles should be required to put in Jon Hamm and Bradley Cooper for one snap just to see what happens.'

There was a heavily pro-Eagles crowd inside the Superdome to watch Philadelphia try to dethrone the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs.

The Chiefs were booed loudly during pregame introductions, and the crowed revved up when Bradley Cooper appeared with a mic to introduce Philadelphia.

It had been evident all week that Eagles fans had come in droves, while perhaps a bit of Super Bowl fatigue had set in among Kansas City fans, who thought the big game was a once-in-a-lifetime trip but has now happened three straight years.

It´s a good bet that a lot of otherwise neutral fans were rooting for the Eagles, too. The Chiefs have become the juggernaut that everybody loves to hate.

Hamm was one in a number of celebs involved in Sunday's event: New Orleans legend Harry Connick Jr. welcomed the crowd, and the worldwide television audience, to the Super Bowl. With live marching bands, dancing and song, Connick led a Mardi Gras-themed welcome.

'How y´all feeling, baby? Let´s celebrate some New Orleans music and culture at Super Bowl 59,' Connick said as the performance was beginning.

Lady Gaga sang Hold My Hand, her 2022 tribute to resilience, in a pre-recorded performance on Bourbon Street that was aired in the run-up to kickoff.

Before the song, a solemn group that included Tom Brady, Michael Strahan and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell walked up the street together to honor the victims of recent tragedies including the Jan. 1 New Orleans truck attack and recent Los Angeles wildfires.

Brady praised 'the American spirit of courage, generosity and unity.'

Gaga wore all white and sat at a piano in the middle of the street in the performance that was taped at 4 a.m. on Thursday.

Ledisi was backed by a choir of local high school students as she sang 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' - the song widely regarded as the Black national anthem.

The R&B singer stood spot-lit on a pedestal clad all in angelic white, with the students all in gold robes behind her as she delivered a soaring rendition of the song. It opened a series of pregame performances that will include the U.S. national anthem sung by Jon Batiste.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs heard loud boos as they ran on the field for warmups. The early-arriving crowd was overwhelmingly filled with Eagles fans. 

Though Philadelphians are known for their boorish behavior, the Eagles are fan favorites against the Chiefs. A few Saints fans were heard screaming 'Go Birds!' and one Jets fan joined Eagles fans in singing 'Fly! Eagles! Fly!' on the stadium concourse.

Taylor Swift arrived at the Super Bowl to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs.

The pop superstar was spotted in her suite at the Superdome, wearing a simple white ensemble, about an hour before kickoff.

Swift and Kelce have been the sports-and-entertainment power couple since early last season, when the four-time All-Pro tight end invited the 14-time Grammy winner to watch him play in a matchup with the Bears.

Swift made an around-the-world trip from her concert in Tokyo to Las Vegas last year to watch the Chiefs beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
