But two of yesterday's most talked about commercials that aired during the Championship Game both featured someone who'd been laying low in terms of screen time for the past few years, Marshall Bruce Mathers III, aka Slim Shady, aka Eminem.

In the Grammy promo, his career is chronicled as part of the Recording Academy's 'Music Is Life Is Music' campaign.
