During halftime of Super Bowl XLII on February 3, 2008, Spike TV televised two Major League Eating contests that were recorded in Las Vegas in October 2007.

The undercard field: Erik Denmark, Chris Abatsas, Micah “Wing Kong” Collins, Allen “Shredder” Goldstein, Arturo Rios Jr., Eric “Steakbellie” Livingston and “El Toro” Jimenez.
The second televised competition was ham. The field was
Joey Chestnut, Pat Bertoletti, Tim “Eater X” Janus, Tim “Gravy” Brown, Rich LeFevre, Hall Hunt, Juliet Lee (RIP) and Juris Shibayama. Takeru Kobayashi withdrew due to jawthritis; he appears as a spectator at 5:55.
