Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli, colloquially known as the Manningcast, is an American alternate live television broadcast of Monday Night Football hosted by brothers Peyton and Eli Manning, both former quarterbacks from the National Football League. It is produced by Peyton's production company Omaha Productions. The broadcasts air on ESPN2 and ESPN+ (select games) in the United States and TSN+ in Canada.[1]

History

[edit]

On July 19, 2021, ESPN announced that Peyton and Eli Manning would host an alternate presentation of Monday Night Football. The deal signed by ESPN and Omaha Productions (which produced the ESPN+ series Peyton's Places) was for three seasons and called for ten games each year. For the 2021 season, it was announced that the presentation would air for the first three weeks of the season (Ravens-Raiders, Lions-Packers and Eagles-Cowboys), with the final seven telecasts announced at a later date.[2]

The first Manningcast aired on September 13, 2021, as an alternate presentation of the Monday Night Football game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens.[3]

On November 13, 2021, ESPN announced that the presentation would also be offered for the network's Monday-night Wild Card Game during the 2021 playoffs.[4] In February 2022, ESPN extended its contract through the 2024 NFL season, with Omaha Productions also slated to collaborate with ESPN on extending the format to other sports properties, such as college football, golf, and UFC events.[5] The series received a Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series at the 43rd Sports Emmy Awards on May 24, 2022.[6]

On April 10, 2024, ESPN further extended its contract with Omaha Productions until 2034.[7] The 2024 season will also see former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick appear on the broadcast during the first half of games.

Curse

[edit]

During the 2021 season, a "curse" akin to the Madden curse began to develop upon players who made guest appearances on the broadcasts, except Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors, with an observed pattern of players' teams losing the next week despite being favored to win.[47]

The "curse" was broken in 2022, as all players that appeared on the Manningcast that season all won their next game. However, in 2023, the "curse" returned as all NFL players who appeared as guests, plus Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson, saw their teams lose the next game. Another basketball player, Caitlin Clark, was not affected by the "curse"; her Iowa team was in the beginning of a 15-game winning streak at the time, with 14 of those wins coming after her appearance.

Adoption by other ESPN properties

[edit]

Building upon the success of the Mannings' broadcasts, ESPN has since produced similar broadcasts for some of its other sports properties, some of which not involving the Mannings, but were still called Manningcasts:[5][48] Some of these

Reception

[edit]

The format, as well as the brothers' chemistry, have received critical acclaim.[58]

The Peyton & Eli broadcasts were parodied in the cold opening of Saturday Night Live's 48th season premiere on October 1, 2022, which portrayed the Mannings (played by host Miles Teller and Andrew Dismukes, respectively) commentating over a sketch themed around the FBI search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, with self-deprecating remarks acknowledging the major changes in cast which took effect that season.[59][60]
