Country crooner Morgan Wallen recruited Peyton Manning to make the announcement about the 2024 extension of his “One Night at a Time’ tour, and the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback kind of fumbled.

It was all an act, though, for the Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning claps during a Ring of Honor induction ceremony for Tarik Glenn on Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022, during a game against the Washington Commanders at Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

The announcement video, posted to Wallen’s social media Tuesday, has Manning, who led the Colts to that 2007 Super Bowl win, prepping to record the announcement while wearing a mullet wig and baseball cap, when he gets a video call from the singer.

Manning is instructed to lay off the Wallen cosplay, singing and bad jokes, to which he responds, “If you wanted somebody who doesn’t know how to look cool or can’t sing or tell jokes, you should have called Eli.”

Wallen likes that idea. So cue baby brother Manning, a two-time Super Bowl champ himself, who picks up the announcement duty.

The news dropped Tuesday of the 10-date extension on the tour. Indianapolis and Lucas Oil Stadium is the first stop in 2024.
