It's odd that the Packers face the Steelers in the Super Bowl on Reagan's 100th birthday. Reagan was president in the '80s. A better matchup would've been 49ers vs. Raiders who also happen to be from his state of California.
This was the first Super Bowl I watched, and I remember this interview as a part of the coverage. My recollection was that the interview was shown at halftime not in the pre-game.
Anyway, Reagan's 100th birthday falls on Super Bowl Sunday. Interestingly, he died on the same day Smarty Jones failed to win horse racing's Triple Crown. As someone who was once a sportscaster and an actor who took on the role of a Notre Dame player, he would not have those occasions any other way!

You know, I disagreed with just about every one of his policies, but you're right. He was a very likeable person and very witty.
