He's also celebrating the launch of his new Jimmy John's sandwich, 'The #9,' just like his football number. Drew Brees talks Hall of Fame ballot, Saints QB battle and third annual Pickle Fest On Friday, he joined kids from the Boys & Girls Club at the Jimmy John's that he owns on Poydras Street. The Saints legend and the kids made 'The #9,' a custom version of the Italian Night Club, exactly the way Drew orders it, with peppers and hold the cheese. 'People ask about pre-game traditions and we would cater Jimmy John's to the Saints facility every Saturday after our meetings and walkthroughs. Everyone would come in and grab Jimmy John's and go into the locker room and the guys would be sitting eating Jimmy John's near their lockers, so that's kind of a unique element that a lot of people probably don't know,' Brees said. At Friday's event, the Jimmy John's Foundation presented a $250,000 to the Brees Foundation and a $150,000 grant to the Boys & Girls Posts Parent, student face charges after BB gun allegedly brought on Loranger school property Drew Brees makes sandwiches with kids at Jimmy John's in New Orleans Mexico deploys US-trained police unit to Arizona border State trooper fires weapon following New Orleans chase: LSP Human case of West Nile virus detected in Orleans Parish Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Jordan, Egg McMuffin & More Score Nods 'RHOM' Season 7 Midseason Trailer: Kiki Breaks Down Over "Death Threats," Adriana & Julia Friendship Fallout & Marysol Accused Of Being A Manipulator Former SNL co-star Aidy Bryant took the stage at The Orpheum Theater to present Thompson with the accolade. 'Give the Black man the black one,' Thompson joked as he took the stage, referring to the color of his trophy. Thompson's clip package included scenes from his days at Nickelodeon's All That and Kenan & Kel, as well as his time on the NBC late-night sketch show. 'Thank you very much, wow! This is amazing! Yes, it is I, thespian Kenan Thompson. You know me from my work, including but not limited to the words, 'Tweedle-dee-doo,' 'What?!', 'Shut up!', 'No! My Gucci shoes!', and ''Ooh-wee, what's up with that?'' He continued, 'It really is a dream come true for me to win a Las Culturistas Culture Award. Thank you to Aidy 'Sweet Baby' Bryant. Aidy was on SNL for 10 years. And that is only 190 years less than me. I have been on your TV forever. I'm going to be in your hearts for even longer, I hope.' To present Janney with her award, Kristen Wiig took the stage as herself, versus a character she may or may not have played earlier in the show, who was said to be the Riddler's secretary. 'I don't think anything better will ever happen to me in my life. That was extraordinary. May I just say that after 30 years, I am finally excited to receive an award … that is worthy of accepting while not wearing any pants,' Janney said while accepting her award. 'Bowen and Matt, thank you so much for having me tonight. You don't really sit around thinking about your impact on culture. But thanks to you and this very sparkly award — this is f**king gorgeous! I could wear it as a hat — I want to thank Kristen [Wiig] for being here. Working with her on Palm Royale, you all know – she's magic and I love her very much of being here tonight.' She continued, 'I've had an incredibly lucky life and I've had the opportunity of working with so many amazing people and one parakeet — but seriously, I've always said that acting is a team sport, and working in an ensemble with a community of artists brings me more joy than anything I ever could have imagined. And to have my work become part of the cultural zeitgeist and recognized by the Las Culturistas community, it's incredibly humbling and probably my favorite award show I've ever attended.' Now let's all remember how Jamie Lee Curtis greeted Allison Janney on the red carpet of the award show in the video below. Following its broadcast on Bravo, Las Culturistas Culture Awards is also available to stream on Peacock.
