A week ago, Kristen Bell and Dax Sheppard did not have a conflict. They could go to the Golden Globes, where Bell was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, night after watching their Detroit Lions earlier in the day. But once the NFL flexed the titanic matchup against the Vikings into primetime, they had a problem straight out of several Home Improvement episodes on their hands. How would they monitor the big game while having other things on their plate?
As it turns out, they did not have to go through the extreme lenghts Tim Taylor might have—hiding behind a plant of going into a restaurant kitchen that had a 19-inch television—just to catch a glimpse of the score. Technology has advanced and therefore Shepard and Bell could simply watch the Lions deliever their resounding statement on a phone. Right there in front of Harrison Ford and whatever A-lister happened to be in their vicinity.
