Even JJ Watt grilled Peyton Manning’s ‘pretty big’ forehead on the ManningCast
If you will be on Peyton and Eli Manning’s ManningCastyou have to make fun of your ex’s forehead, like legendary NFL rusher JJ Watt learned.
During his broadcast appearance during a playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans, Watt hit Manning in the forehead. He was reacting to Manning’s proposed rule change that would have prohibited defensive linemen from punting the ball.
“I mean, guys, my hands are pretty big, just like your forehead, Peyton; they’re not hard to miss,” Watt said, roasting Manning. “So when you see them, just throw them around.”
He continued saying, “I mean, I don’t understand the problem here. It can’t be that hard – you’re so skilled,” with a sly smile on his face.
Of course, Manning’s forehead is the subject of many jokes, especially from his younger brother Eli on the ManningCast. Their dad, Archie, “grounded” him on live television during an October 2024 broadcast appearance.
Did Peyton and Eli Manning do the ManningCast last night during the Steelers-Texans game?
There was a ManningCast during ESPN’s Monday night telecast of the Steelers-Texans playoff game. Watt and former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger were guests on the show.
The Wild Card round marked the end of the ManningCast for the 2025 NFL season. They played 11 games during the season, including a playoff game, and were once again joined by a long roster of A-listers.
Some of their 2025 guests include Bill Murray, Saquon Barkley, Glenn Powell, Jared Goff, Charles Barkley, Shane Gillis, George W. Bush, Jerry Rice, Luke Combs, Michael Keaton and Laney Wilson.
The ManningCast has been running for five seasons. It started during the 2021 season, and they continued it for the next four seasons.
