MK Asante ’04 is behind Monday Night Football anthem

At least 20 million viewers watched ESPN’s Monday Night Football 2024-25 season opener in September—and millions more continue to tune in weekly throughout the NFL season. Before kickoff, hype builds with an official MNF video, scripted by award-winning author and filmmaker MK Asante. The highly visible spot, which also played last season, features a mashup of “In the Air Tonight” vocals by Chris Stapleton, a performance by Snoop Dogg, and drumming by Cindy Blackman Santana.
