The Manningcast will return for Week 5, as Peyton and Eli Manning are set to break down plays and chat over Monday's matchup between the Saints and Chiefs.
Joining the Manning brothers this week as guests is another star-studded group, including another member of their famed football family.
Kickoff between New Orleans and Kansas City is set for 8:15 p.m. ET from Arrowhead Stadium, and the game will be available on ESPN and ESPN+ with the usual crew of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters on "Monday Night Football."
ESPN2 will once again carry the alternate broadcast, the third Manningcast of 11 throughout the 2024 season. The last time the Manning brothers were on the broadcast in Week 2, they had Bill Belichick, Miles Teller and Matt Ryan as guests.
Here's what to know about the guest list for the Week 5 Manningcast ahead of Saints vs. Chiefs on "Monday Night Football."

Manningcast guests for Week 5
- Bill Belichick, former Patriots head coach
- Paul Rudd, actor and Chiefs fan
- Archie Manning, Peyton and Eli's father and longtime Saints quarterback
Bill Belichick
Belichick is set to be a recurring guest of the Manningcast this season and already joined Peyton and Eli in Weeks 1 and 2.
The longtime Patriots head coach has been extremely involved in sports media throughout the 2024 season so far but also hasn't said he's fully retired from coaching. For now, his football IQ and experience leading an NFL team are shining on the alternate "Monday Night Football" broadcast.

The six-time Super Bowl champion departed from New England after the 2023 season and will be back on-camera with Peyton and Eli Manning for Saints vs. Chiefs.
Paul Rudd
Rudd, best known for his roles in the TV show "Friends" and as Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is a huge Chiefs fan.

Rudd was at the Chiefs' most recent Super Bowl win in February, and he also recently narrated Kansas City's "America's Game" documentary about the Super Bowl run.
Omaha Productions dropped a brief clip to preview Rudd's appearance on the Manningcast.

Archie Manning
Finally, Peyton and Eli's father, Archie, will join the brothers as their final guest in Week 5.
Not to be confused with their nephew Arch, currently a quarterback at Texas, Archie began the football legacy of the Manning family.
In his NFL career, Archie played for the Saints from 1971 to 1982, which will likely be a big topic of conversation on Monday. He was selected second overall by New Orleans in the 1971 NFL Draft.
Now 75 years old, Archie will join his sons for the Saints-Chiefs matchup on "Monday Night Football."
