Peyton Manning Makes Surprise Appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' to Obsess Over 'Emily in Paris' - Watch!

Peyton Manning is stopping by “Weekend Update”!

“Oh, my God, Colin, this show has everything: adventure, sensuality, culture, a fresh take on feminism — finally,” Peyton said of Emily in Paris. “Not to mention, a culinary tapestry so rich, I can only describe it as food porn.”

Colin then asked Peyton if he believes the Tom retirement rumors are true, but Peyton preferred to talk about Emily in Paris instead.

“Yeah, I’m not sure it’s true,” Peyton responded. “I think it’s probably just speculation, but if it were me, I probably would retire, too, if it gave me more time to watch Emily in Paris. And I really think for Tom right now, it’s just a tough decision between balancing his career and relationships — sort of like Emily.”

Peyton then went on to talk about all of Emily’s love interests on the show.

“She’s got to go through her progressions and kick down Alfie in the flat,” Peyton said, with a football playbook in the background. “Sure, it feels like a broken play, and she says just dumping it off, but emotionally, she’s making forward progress.”

He continued, “You know what’s not sitting on the sidelines? The fashion! Striped parachute pants, plaid newsboy hat, fur-trimmed cardigan and fingerless driving gloves.”

Peyton concluded gushing about Emily in Paris by saying, “But if I’ve learned anything from Emily, it’s to follow my passions and always be true to myself.”
