Marshawn Lynch randomly appears on Evine Live to sell Skittles

Marshawn Lynch loves his Skittles, and somehow ended up doing a five-minute segment on cable TV's Evine Live to sell them.

Yep, at a little after 11 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, Lynch was on the air hawking candy like this was some normal occurrence for one of the NFL's biggest stars. He did a five-minute segment on Evine Live, a shopping show, with host Allison Waggoner to sell the candy he has a well-documented affinity for.

This looks like the parody of all parodies the model wearing the Skittles necklace, Waggoner presenting Lynch a Skittles ring like she was asking him to marry her, Waggoner explaining that it would take 12 packs of Skittles end-to-end to be as tall as Lynch — but apparently this is as legitimate as segments selling candy on a home shopping show can get, I guess.

Lynch is funny through the whole thing (that's really why it's a shame the guy doesn't talk to the media, he has a ton of personality to share, but to each his own I suppose), and in the end you're not quite sure if you actually just watched what you think you watched.

If this leads to Lynch popping up randomly on various other cable television shows, I'm all for it.
