The Manning brothers are back.
LIVE: Follow Seahawks vs. Giants updates from 'Monday Night Football'
After a two-week break, the pair of former NFL star quarterbacks are set to host the second "Manningcast" of the 2023 season, as Peyton and Eli bring an alternate broadcast of Seahawks vs. Giants on Monday night.
ESPN debuted "Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli" as an alternate broadcast in 2021. It quickly became a cult phenomenon, earning mentions on "Saturday Night Live" and spawning a series of non-traditional broadcasts from ESPN and its competitors.
The Manningcast returning for the Week 4 matchup is likely no coincidence, as Eli's Giants are on prime time going against the Seahawks. The younger Manning was a staple for Big Blue for over a decade, winning two Super Bowls as the Giants' starting quarterback.
Meanwhile, Peyton certainly has his history with the Seahawks. While the elder Manning has two Super Bowl rings of his own, Seattle put a beatdown on Manning's Denver team during Super Bowl 48, as the Seahawks waltzed to a 43-8 win over the Broncos.

Here's a look at who will appear during the Week 4 episode of the Manningcast.
Manningcast guests for Week 4
- Will Ferrell, actor, comedian, producer
- Shaun O'Hara, former NFL center
Will Ferrell
From Buddy the Elf to Ricky Bobby to Ron Burgundy, Ferrell is one of the most popular actors and comedians around. Considering his humorous mannerisms, he should bring tons of entertainment to the Manningcast.
Ferrell is now a devoted Seahawks fan, although it didn't start that way when he was growing up. The actor was born in Irvine, Calif., and attended USC, which just so happens to be where Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll spent many years as head coach. It was during Carroll's time with the Trojans that Ferrell began following the coach, and when Carroll took over as the top dog in Seattle, Ferrell's fanhood shifted to the Seahawks.
Shaun O'Hara
O'Hara may not be a household name for NFL fans, but the Giants' faithful should be well aware of who he is. The three-time Pro Bowl center spent 11 years in the league, with seven of those seasons as a Giant.
O'Hara was a member of the New York team that defeated Tom Brady and New England in Super Bowl 42, ruining the Patriots' perfect season. With New York, he was a team co-captain in 2007 and a member of the team's leadership council. Currently, O'Hara works as a color analyst for NFL Network and ESPN Radio, as well as a regular fill-in host for "Good Morning Football."
