The Steelers’ Zach Banner plays against the Miami Dolphins on Monday, Oct. 28, 2019 at Heinz Field.

Nobody does an interview show like Zach Banner.

No. 72 in your programs and No. 1 in the hearts of many Pittsburgh Steelers fans, the offensive lineman took to city streets in a video to ask tough questions and give out Terrible Towels.

The video, dubbed “Banner on the Street,” saw Banner clad in a Steelers Christmas sweater and Christmas lights walking around Market Square.

Questions ranged from “who founded the Steelers?” to Christmas-themed queries like “what’s the best Christmas movie?” to which Banner asserted was “Die Hard.”

Banner has become somewhat of a cult hero to Steelers fan throughout the season. The 6-foot-8, 360 pound lineman continues to get a rousing ovation when “No. 72 is eligible” is announced at Heinz Field when the team goes to the jumbo formation.

The Steelers play the New York Jets at 1 p.m. Sunday.
