Peyton Manning’s had a busy year, and things won’t slow down this summer.
Manning kicked off 2024 by calling a playoff game on ESPN2 as part of his ManningCast with his brother, Eli. The brothers then coached the Pro Bowl (Eli won again) and Peyton starred in a Super Bowl commercial.
Peyton and Eli later appeared in an ad for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, and Peyton starred in a commercial for the 2024 NFL draft. Peyton then successfully recruited free agent coach Bill Belichick to join his ManningCast lineup in 2024.
The annual Manning Passing Academy also had another successful run this year.
More recently, Peyton stole the show at Tom Brady’s roast, then he surprised his friend and old rival at No. 12’s Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony. Last week, Manning’s newest show, Receiver, made its debut on Netflix.
Next week, Manning will be part of NBC’s coverage of the Opening Ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Manning spoke with WDSU’s Fletcher Mackel about the opportunity earlier this month:
Manning will join Mike Tirico and Kelly Clarkson for live coverage of the opening events at 10:00 a.m. MT on Friday, July 26 on NBC and Peacock. Manning previously starred in a commercial promoting the 2024 Olympics last year. Although he never played in the Games himself, Manning is an iconic sports figure in the USA and a perfect candidate to co-host next week.
