Peyton Manning is excited to announce he's "returning to the game" in an exclusive teaser trailer for his next project. However, the former NFL star isn't talking about football.
"I'm returning to the game – of trivia," says Peyton, who along with his brother Cooper Manning, will host the second season of NBC's Capital One College Bowl. The exciting series hosts 16 teams from various colleges and universities across the country as they compete in the ultimate battle of the brains.
In the competition's biggest season yet, more schools than ever before will compete in a five-round tournament, putting their knowledge to the test for a chance to win the coveted Capital One College Bowl trophy and a life-changing amount of scholarship money for their team.
NBC promises bigger rivalries, exciting celebrity guest shout-outs, and thrilling competition. This season will also feature marching bands, mascots, and a live audience to bring the energy this season. The second season begins September 9 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Last NFL season, football fans watched Manning make the jump from retired player to NFL broadcaster as he co-hosted Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli — more affectionately known as "Manning Cast" — with his younger brother, former Giants quarterback Eli Manning, on ESPN2 and ESPN+.

The Manning Cast became an unexpected hit for the sports network, with the brothers breaking down games with their first-hand knowledge and experience.
Along with the commentary from the former Super Bowl champs (which has also included Eli shaking his hips like Shakira and flipping the bird, uncensored), they also invited top stars from the worlds of sports, entertainment and politics to join them live—including Tom Brady, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Snoop Dogg and Condoleezza Rice.
The brothers are under contract with ESPN for the 2022-2023 season.
