Live from New York, it's Peyton Manning

Yes, Peyton will be hosting this weeks "Saturday Night Live". He says "I'm wide open to making as big a fool out of myself as you possibly can... I said I'd do whatever they want me to do."

He has been practicing with the SNL staffers all week -- "I've never laughed harder" -- and finds that team's preparation "very similiar" to the NFL routine. Writers "prepare the game plan" and worked with the cast "to put in the right plays" while he'll "be ready" to call audibles
Saturday -- "as long as nobody hits me in the back after the opening monologue."

SNL invited Manning last fall, but he only agreed after the Super Bowl. "If we'd lost, I can't guarantee I'd be here. I might be in a cave."

    as much as this Pats fan doesn't like Manning on the field, I look forward to seeing him on SNL.

    I will be watching. Peyton has a good sense of humor and a willingness to laugh at himself. I'm sure that will make for some funny skits.

    Remember Joe Montana on SNL when he talked about (ahem..going it solo!) LOL!

    He cant be any worse than the rest of the SNL cast these days.

    I'm afraid to admit it but he actually made me laugh.

    You know what? He's actually pretty good on the show tonight - he's been funnier than many of the "real" guest hosts they have had this season.

    Man, ain't that the truth! SNL is terribly unfunny these days. I've seen much better comedy on YouTube for chrissakes!

    Peyton was excellent - it's a shame that the writers weren't. I hadn't watched SNL in years - these performers absolutely suck. That guy doing the news couldn't even read some of the lines.

    Peyton was really good, better than most of the cast; i agree.
    the commercial for the United way was priceless image

    He was very self-depricating and a good sport. thumbs up for Peyton.

    Watched the show. He was very good. He defintely is very charismatic, and appears to be a guy you could hang out with for beers and laughs at your local pub.

    That was actually a very funny skit - though they ran with the joke a bit too long. Cool to see Peyton having some fun with it...

    United Way skit

    I guess I'm the only one who watched because Carrie Underwood was the singer.

    Only good bit was the United way spoof, I guess because it was taped beforehand and not live. The sketch where he played a college basketball expert, just dumb, why would he care if the other guy is making fun of Peyton Manning. Oh yeah, ha ha, he actually is Peyton Manning. Funny, funny, stuff. image
