Late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert received some backlash for his Super Bowl commercial which featured him eating chicken wings.
The Emmy-winner was mic’d up as he bit into some wings and chewed, then licked ranch sauce off a football while sitting at his desk.
The ad was meant to promote his CBS show as the Super Bowl aired on CBS Sunday night but the bizarre noises didn’t impress anyone.
“I’m a big fan of Colbert, but this wasn’t even remotely funny. Disgusting all around,” one person said on Twitter.

Another said, “Stephen Colbert eating a hot wing has made me more uncomfortable than I can comprehend. #SuperBowl.”
