The ManningCast is back, and it’s bigger and funnier than ever before! Peyton and Eli Manning are returning for a third season of this uproarious alternative live television broadcast of Monday Night Football, and they’re shaking things up. This time, they’re on the hunt for a third host to join their delightful duo. To ignite the excitement, the Mannings orchestrated an audacious “audition” video that brought together a star-studded cast of 35 personalities including the young Olivia Dunne.
It was a spectacle that masterfully bridged the worlds of sports and entertainment, and each personality was highlighted with their unique charisma. However, the real shocker came when the legendary Mike Tyson?threatened to punch NFL icons, while Tom Brady found himself at the receiving end of some roasting. Dunne, the social media sensation and gymnastics star, in an amusing moment, was also left embarrassed.

The charming?Dunne aka “Livvy,” made her debut in the ManningCast auditions. Clad in her classic LSU purple leotard with her hair cascading down, Livvy faced the Manning brothers’ inquisition. Eli Manning curiously inquired, “So what would we know you from?” To which Livvy, with a hint of playful sarcasm, replied, “Have you heard of Tik Tok?” Peyton Manning, attempting to sound well-versed in the digital realm, confidently chimed in with a “Sure.” Livvy, in her cheeky manner, quirkily retorted, “Really?” leaving Peyton disappointed and shaking his head with a heartfelt “No.” The exchange was comical as the host tried to playfully make Dunne feel embarrassed, highlighting the generation gap between Manning and Livvy as Peyton pretended not to know who she was despite her social media following of over 10 million.

Along with Livvy, the ManningCast auditions featured a jaw-dropping array of talent from celebrities from both the sports and entertainment worlds. DJ Khaled hilariously kept saying “Another One” after each question, and Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer whom Livvy even called her bodyguard at the ESPYs, said “I?m just here because you guys have the most punchable faces in the history of punching faces” as he tried to intimidate the brothers. Reese Witherspoon called Eli and Peyton “insurance guys”. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, introduced himself, saying, “Hi Lil Wayne, Weezey Baby, President Carter,” to which Peyton hilariously said, “I?m Peyton, and this is Lil Brother,” pointing at Eli.? One standout moment came when Tom Brady, the iconic quarterback with a penchant for good-natured ribbing, found himself being trolled in the video.

I guess I’ll just come back and play football again.”? The ManningCast has time and again seamlessly blended sports, entertainment, and comedy.
