Wonder how much those 2 ad slots are going for lol

More expensive than a Super Bowl commercial?

Good question. Now I wonder who's advertising in those slots (not that I'll watch the ads lol).

You over estimate the US public. Viewer numbers will probably by abysmal, and the vast majority of voters will only be seeing bias confirming short clips.
