Usher is to headline the Super Bowl 2024 half time show.
The news that the singer will play Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024 surprised AM co-host Laura Tupou.
Discussing it with co-host Ryan Bridge on Monday, Bridge said he'd had a somewhat confused reaction from Tupou.
"Big news for the Super Bowl," Bridge told viewers ahead of the news.
"They've had all the big names there - Michael Jackson was there, Beyonce was there.
"Their latest host - none other than Usher.
"I said to Laura this morning, 'Usher's doing it' and you said 'what?' - you didn't quite understand."
"No I was like, what, when did he last release new music?" Tupou said.
She quickly followed that up with: "He is good though, and he's a great entertainer because he's so good at dancing."
