Peyton Manning Jokes About Retirement on SNL 50th Anniversary

Peyton Manning made a humorous appearance during the 50th anniversary special of 'Saturday Night Live,' where he poked fun at his post-retirement life and the many commercials he has done. Notably, he questioned SNL creator Lorne Michaels about retirement, humorously lamenting, 'It's brutal out here' and joking about a recent commercial for a product he was unfamiliar with. Manning's dry wit and self-deprecating humor shone through as he reflected on the challenges of being retired, stating, 'I hate being retired. You feel like such a loser.' His cameo follows a surprise visit to the University of Tennessee, where he taught a class just days prior. Manning, a Hall of Fame quarterback, has successfully transitioned to a media personality post-NFL, including hosting 'The ManningCast' and making multiple SNL appearances throughout his career. The anniversary show featured numerous celebrity cameos and celebrated the show's rich history with sports figures.
