Josh Allen, Jon Stewart, Michael Strahan & Michael Irvin join Monday Night Football with Peyton & Eli in Week 8

If we’ve learned anything about Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli Manning so far, it’s that jokes between legendary siblings and their guests can be just as entertaining as what’s happening on the pitch.
That’s why – without disrespecting the New York Giants (2-5) or the Kansas City Chiefs (3-4) – we’re grateful to see the duo return with another star-studded cast for the fifth installment of. the ManningCast.
On Peyton and Eli’s second Monday return after a three-week hiatus, they welcome Jon Stewart, Michael Strahan, Josh Allen and Michael Irvin.
The Week 8 Manningcast is ready! ??

While we’re pretty confident Peyton won’t be wearing an Ole Miss jersey during any part of the Week 8 ManningCast, Eli bursting another impression of Shakira doesn’t seem entirely out of the question. … If ever a night required it, it would be when his G-Men are playing.
What revelations will come from Stewart, Strahan, Allen and Irvin? How long will it be before Eli mentions the size of Peyton’s forehead or draws attention to his pit spots?
We’ve got you covered with all of ManningCast Monday’s moments and takeaways:
Pain on Peyton interceptions
Hall of Fame QB know the fight all too well and, as a result, were visibly distraught for Patrick Mahomes when the Chiefs star threw a pick in the first quarter.
We’re going to go on and assume his expression was the same when Daniel Jones pitched a comeback pick on the next series.

Quads and Eli for the victory
You might not have known comedian Jon Stewart was playing college football at William & Mary. More importantly, you probably didn’t know that its quads once rivaled Saquon Barkley’s.

You probably weren’t aware of why Stewart has a special place in his heart for Eli Manning either. When asked the big Giants fan who his all-time favorite New York player is, Stewart explained that it must have been Eli because the former quarterback gave the G-Men a Super Bowl during his son’s lifetime.
“You are the only one who has brought him joy in his 17 years on this earth as a sports team,” Stewart told Eli.

Is it making dust here?
Important poster and misfortunes of the giants
When Michael Strahan joined the show, Eli was quick to reminisce about the good old days of winning the Super Bowl with his former teammate. He also quickly searched for an answer to a burning question on a poster that resides in Strahan’s house.

It’s hard not to see it, but it’s not a ’90s album cover.
After disclosing what could have been for their group, Strahan and the Manning brothers returned their attention to the game.
While Eli was understandably careful not to criticize the Giants, Strahan made no attempt to hide his frustration with the franchise’s current situation.

A little disappointed, we never saw “The Peyton Manning Experience” open for Destiny’s Child.
