Indianapolis Colts legend, Peyton Manning, stole the show with his appearance on Saturday Night Live.

This past weekend was Championship Sunday in the NFL. Four teams would compete to name the AFC and NFC champions and to see which two teams would play in the Super Bowl.

Ahead of the matchups on Sunday, “Saturday Night Live” decided to bring in one of the greatest football minds of all time to break the action down, Peyton Manning.

The Hall of Fame quarterback, who spent 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, was on the program to answer a few football questions, but he had different plans.

Instead of breaking down the playoff games, Manning used his football knowledge to give a thorough breakdown of the Netflix series “Emily in Paris”.

Manning confessed that he missed the action of the historic Divisional Round because he was busy binge-watching “Emily in Paris”.

He then likened the situation of his rival, Tom Brady, to Emily’s circumstances, the main character of the show. Manning was equipped to give the show a full breakdown on the telestrator with the help of X’s and O’s.

Offering his takes on the relationships, advice, and fashion of the show, Manning sounded like the many streamers who immerse themselves into their favorite series.

This hilarious segment took over the weekend and many marveled and laughed, and Manning’s amazing performance. This is just the latest example of entertainment Manning has offered during his post-playing career.

Peyton’s natural on-camera presence is one of the things that makes the ManningCast of Monday Night Football, with Eli Manning, such a hit. Fans would tune in weekly to see the Manning’s break down football and produce some natural comedy.

With Peyton Manning’s glowing endorsement of “Emily in Paris”, he may drive a surge in viewers for that program as well.
