Marks Fifth Year in a Row That a Super Bowl-Winning Quarterback Has Appeared on the CBS Late Night Broadcast Following the Big Game

Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback of Super Bowl XLIII champions the Pittsburgh Steelers, talks about his team's exciting victory Sunday when he visits the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Monday, Feb. 2.

The Steelers led 20-to-7 through the fourth quarter, only to see the Arizona Cardinals stage a remarkable comeback and take the lead 23-to-20 with only 2:37 minutes remaining in the game. But Roethlisberger responded, throwing the ball to Santonio Holmes, who made a thrilling catch in the corner of the end zone with only 35 seconds on the clock, lifting the Steelers 27-to-23 over the Cardinals and giving them their second Super Bowl win in four seasons. The Steelers are now the only team in NFL history to win six Super Bowl titles.

This will be Roethlisberger's third visit to the LATE SHOW. He last visited the broadcast on Feb. 2, 2006, after he and the Steelers won Super Bowl XL. Also, this marks the fifth year in a row that a Super Bowl-winning quarterback has appeared on the CBS late night broadcast following the big game.

Pittsburgh Steelers and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes will hit the couch at NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (Monday - Friday, 11:35 p.m. - 12:37 a.m. ET on NBC) to discuss his game-winning touchdown catch on Thursday, February 5.

In one of the most thrilling finishes to a Super Bowl, Holmes lifted the Steelers to their sixth NFL title win last Sunday. With only 35 seconds left on the clock, Holmes snagged a 6-yard touchdown catch deep in the right corner of the end zone finalizing the 27-23 Steelers victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
