In the premiere episode of The Eli Manning Show, Eli and his co-host Shaun O'Hara welcome in Michael Strahan, along with Eli's brothers Peyton and Cooper Manning.
The promotional video for "The Eli Manning Show" begins with an introduction: "Hi. I’m Eli Manning, professional talk show host."
It is meant to be cheeky, because, well, who would have pictured him that way when he was winning two Super Bowls as a Giants quarterback, including Manning himself? But here we are.
"I never really thought of myself having my own talk show, of sorts," Manning told Newsday.
