Back by popular demand, the ManningCast featuring former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning is an American alternative live television broadcast of Monday Night Football. The first episode aired in 2021 after ESPN and Omaaha Productions signed a deal for three seasons.
The popular broadcast has been an absolute hit producing many viral moments on the internet. Before the 2023 NFL season even begins, the ManningCast teases a third host.
In a hilarious video released on Tuesday of spoof audition tapes, the Manning brothers conducted interviews for the next upcoming season. The video featured some of the biggest athletes and celebrities including Kirk Cousins, Tom Brady, Mike Tyson, and more.
Check out the video below.

The ManningCast Looking For Third Host
In typical Manning fashion, the auditions for a third host were absolutely hilarious. As the ManningCast prepared for its third season, there were many guest stars and cameos in the commercial.
Both Eli and Peyton were interviewing head coaches like Sean McVay, Sean Payton, Mike McDaniel, and more. There were even more cameos made by stars like DJ Khaled, Mike Tyson, Reese Witherspoon, Livy Dunne, Lil Wayne, and more.
The video ends with the Manning brothers not finding a suitable candidate. But, when Eli asks if they’ve forgotten anyone, Peyton finishes by crossing out the final name off the list — longtime rival and seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady, who is still in the waiting room.
In the end, Brady is snubbed for an interview and jokingly debates a third comeback to the NFL.
