[1] 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.

[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.

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.

[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.
