On Nov. 13, the Lions announced that Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, will oversee production, as well as talent selection, of the team’s Thanksgiving halftime show through 2027.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Marshall and Paul, who are two of the most accomplished and respected names in the music industry, not to mention longtime Lions fans,” Detroit Lions President & CEO Rod Wood said, via the team’s official site. “Their reputation in the business will attract top-tier talent and help us solidify this annual performance as one of the most anticipated cultural moments on the NFL calendar.”
