Peyton Manning’s part of a new game show on ABC, but not as a host like he was for College Bowl on NBC last year.
Manning’s serving as one of the executive producers for The Final Straw this year with Janelle James handling the show’s hosting duties.
But does the former quarterback have a disguised role?
Manning’s entertainment company, Omaha Productions, posted a video on Instagram over the weekend that showed a panda on the game show followed by “Panda Manning” sitting down at his desk and removing the head on his costume.
So is it really him?
Probably not. The panda shown on the game show appears much shorter than Manning, who was listed at 6-5 during his playing days. The video’s probably just a spoof aiming to create buzz for the show (mission accomplished).
Manning retired from the NFL following the 2015 season after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos. He’s now a candidate to join the team’s new ownership group, either as a minority investor or as an advisor.
