Even years after their careers ended, the successful brother and sister are still among the best-known faces in the NFL. The sports channel “ESPN” now wants to take advantage of this fact and is giving the Mannings their own TV show.

They are among the most successful players in NFL history: brothers Eli and Peyton Manning.

Both won the Super Bowl twice each, regularly beat Tom Brady to the punch and even years after their careers ended, the two are among the most popular personalities in the NFL. As part of ESPN’s Monday Night Games broadcasts, the Mannings will soon be back on TV on a regular basis. 

Own production company involved

“For the next three seasons, Peyton and Eli Manning will be the faces of the “Monday Night FootballMegaCast” on ‘ESPN2’ and ‘ESPN+,'” NFL Insider and ESPN reporter Adam Schefter announced on Twitter.

The show is to be produced in collaboration with the Mannings’ own production company, “Omaha Productions”. The “MegaCast” is slated to cover ten games per season.

Supplement to the usual broadcast

The new broadcast concept envisages that the Mannings will not become part of the familiar broadcast on Monday evenings, but rather complement it on the sports broadcaster’s side channels. Filming will not take place at the stadium itself, but at a separate, remote location.

The show will be rounded off by regular appearances by celebrity guests. Exact names are not yet known, but the possible guest list will include active and retired NFL greats.

Further information, including the naming of the games, should follow in the course of the preseason.
