The Modified Super Bowl ad Featuring Carl Weathers will Honor his Memory
FanDuel is making changes to its Super Bowl ad featuring Carl Weathers, ensuring it respects his legacy after his unexpected passing, following discussions with his family.
FanDuel has announced adjustments to its highly anticipated Super Bowl LVIII 2024 commercial to pay tribute to Carl Weathers (1948 - 2024) after his recent death. This decision was made in collaboration with Weathers’ family.
