Catch all the laughs, expert football analysis, and guest stories as the ManningCast kicks off its five-week run with this exciting guest list for the Week 5 showdown!
The ManningCast has become a must-watch for NFL fans. It offers an alternate, entertaining take on Monday Night Football. Hosted by two of the most iconic quarterbacks in NFL history, the program airs on ESPN2 and ESPN+ and has fans hooked with its mix of game analysis, humor, and high-profile guests.
Peyton’s Omaha Productions produces the show, which debuted in 2021 and has featured various A-list guests from sports and entertainment. In 2022, it won a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Series.
The show has increased significantly due to ESPN’s strategic decision to enhance its NFL coverage. The NFL quarterback duo signed a three-season deal with Omaha Productions for 10 games each year, and its first episode covered a thrilling game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens three years ago.
The show has a reputation for attracting a star-studded lineup of guests. The Manning brothers have leveraged their deep football legacy, building on the success of their previous projects like “Peyton’s Places.”
Given its huge success in the initial years, ESPN extended its partnership with Omaha Productions until 2034.
