Manning brothers release show schedule with Broadway-style performance
ESPN and Omaha Productions’ “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” announced Tuesday its full schedule for the upcoming NFL season in style.
Two-time Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning and two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning will return for the fourth consecutive season of their hit telecast, kicking off with the Jets facing the 49ers on Sept. 9 and featuring a much-anticipated Harbaugh brothers showdown between the Ravens and Chargers on Nov. 25.
The brothers revealed the 11-episode schedule with a star-studded, elaborate 10 minute video announcement entitled “ManningCast: The Musical,” which included several cameo appearances from sports stars and celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Kimmel, Andy Reid, Jason Kelce and Kevin Hart.
The promo showcased the Manning brothers in several Broadway-style performances, jokingly declaring their ambitions to win a Tony Award for their theatrical efforts.
Former Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick will join the brothers as their featured guest for the first half of the game on all 11 episodes. Additional sports and pop culture guests will accompany the Mannings for the second half of each game.
