appearances by their favorite characters.
Hulu invites guests to “Check in to Their Obsessions” as they
walk through the iconic Hulu green vessel and are transported to a
world filled with all their Hulu favorites, offering something for
every type of viewer— whether they’re a pop culture aficionado or
reality TV buff, or if their watch list is filled with adult
animation or critically-acclaimed dramas. They will be able to join
the Belchers for a Bob’s Burgers family photo opportunity, and put
themselves in the hot seat of a confessional from their favorite
reality TV shows, as they navigate a variety of immersive
experiences.
ESPN+ offers fans a backstage pass that will give them a
close-up look at some of the most iconic memorabilia in sports,
including the College Football Playoff trophy, the UFC Championship

sports news desk.
