Peyton and Eli Manning have already hosted the likes of Rob Gronkowski, Russell Wilson and more on the ESPN2 ‘Manningcast.’ Now, Nick Saban is joining their growing list of A-list guests.

The Alabama Crimson Tide head coach will join in to chat with the Manning brothers during the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game on Monday night.

The ‘Manningcast,’ ESPN’s alternate viewing option, shows the game with Eli and Peyton Manning providing fun commentary and conducting interviews, occasionally remarking on the actual game.

With Saban on the horn, there will no doubt be talk about No. 1 Alabama’s offensive showdown coming up versus the Ole Miss Rebels, the alma mater of co-host Eli. Eli Manning was a first-round draft pick out of Oxford, so he’ll probably have some questions for the six-time national championship-winning head coach.

Kickoff for Dallas-Philadelphia is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. You can catch the Alabama-Ole Miss game at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.

Saban joins Eli’s Places

The Alabama head coach’s appearance on ‘Manningcast’ isn’t the first time he’s helping out the Manning family. Saban is also appearing on Eli Manning’s ESPN+ series Eli’s Places:

Saban’s currently recruiting Eli and Peyton Manning’s five-star quarterback nephew Arch Manning, son of the elder Manning brother, Cooper. Maybe a little extra face time with the family couldn’t hurt.

‘Manningcast’ makes a splash in ratings for Week 2

Though the first broadcast of Peyton and Eli Manning’s alternate NFL show received little attention, it got enough to generate buzz and pull in more viewers.

For the week two Lions-Packers game, ESPN2 averaged 1.86 million viewers, a +132% increase from week one.

The guest list for the ‘Manningcast’ includes so far:

  • Charles Barkley
  • Ray Lewis
  • Rob Gronkowski
  • Travis Kelce
  • Russell Wilson
  • Pat McAfee
  • Brett Favre
