In this first promo from NBC, Jason Sudeikis (in a fantastically flimsy facsimile of a Voice chair) tries to draft Eli to his “team,” only to lose out to a better offer. Kenan Thompson costars in the rest of the vignettes, which include a bevy of football puns (not that there’s anything wrong with that!), a brief singing jag and the QB’s attempt to hit Thompson on the numbers.
Watch the clips here, then share your prediction how this Manning will measure up against SNL‘s past athlete hosts.
