McCain, Obama to make 'Monday Night Football' appearances
By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
The forum for what probably will be the last faceoff between Barack Obama and John McCain: the election-eve halftime of Monday Night Football on ESPN.
Chris Berman will tape interviews with each candidate earlier in the day.
"I guess it would be the last time they'll be able to talk to anybody (on TV), except maybe in Hawaii," Berman says.
Berman says he's not sure what he will ask the candidates about — "there might be something that happens over the weekend that could be timely" — but suggests the segment could "somehow be a cross between 60 Minutes and the fastest three minutes on television."
MNF is sometimes the most-watched TV program Monday nights, and is usually the night's most-watched show among male viewers. Monday's game probably will draw significant viewership in two hotly contested states given the teams playing: the Washington Redskins, highly popular in Northern Virginia, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
