On the Superbowl pregame show on NBC just now, they did a big song and dance production number with all the NBC actors from various shows. In the middle of it, briefly, there were two gorgeous women, one brunette and one blonde, by themselves in front of a red curtain. They were just before the cast of Law and Order got involved.

Can some kind soul please tell me who they were and what show they are on? Thank you.

I think they were [Katharine McPhee](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_McPhee) & [Megan Hilty](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megan_Hilty) stars of the new show [Smash](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smash_%28TV_series%29). Starts next week.

Is this the [ad](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoMlskfpsRM)?

Yup, that’s the ad, and I think you must be right about the names. I will definitely watch that show. Thanks.
