The LA Bowl, which had previously been hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, signed a deal with Gronkowski to have the former All-Pro tight end host the game.

Gronkowski took it a step further by announcing he would also be singing the national anthem for the game and dancing during the broadcast.

He is not new to singing in public. Gronkowski appeared on Season 3 of “The Masked Singer.”

While he went solo on “The Masked Singer,” he won’t be crooning alone during the national anthem. He will be backed by the New Directions Veterans Choir during his performance.
