When fellow co-host Luke Bryan mentioned that he’s going to wing the show, Peyton fired back with a joke about his work relationship with Eli.
“I do a show with my brother Eli,” Manning said. “I am used to this lack of professionalism.”
Also, in his introduction of Bryan, Peyton launched another hilarious jab at Eli.
“I keep telling him he’s like a brother to me,” Manning said. “He doesn’t understand that’s not a compliment. Give it up for Luke Bryan.”
It was an awesome opportunity for Manning to co-host the show because he’s an avid listener of country music.
“I am such a huge fan of country music, so to have the chance to stand among so many incredibly talented artists is an absolute honor,” Manning said via Sporting News.
