Peyton and Eli Manning won't have a host when they do their Monday Night Football simulcast for ESPN2

Front Office Sports

"ESPN initially intended to have a regular 'host' between the Mannings, but over weeks of rehearsals and phone calls, Peyton Manning’s Omaha Production’s and ESPN concluded the best approach would be the Mannings themselves commenting on the games," reports Front Office Sports' Michael McCarthy. "The wise-cracking brothers have both hosted Saturday Night Live. They’ve 'shined' so much during rehearsals the decision to keep the spotlight on them was an easy one." ALSO: The Manning brothers are expected to do their simulcast from different locations.
