Peyton Manning continues to uphold his reputation as one of the most comedically reliable in all of professional sports.

He’s been a surprisingly good host on SNL and, just this past week, offered up a very solid opening monologue for this year’s ESPYS. There are some good burns as well as few slightly meta threads throughout that we’d guess that almost all pro athletes couldn’t get through in the tightly crafted 10 minutes.

See for yourself here.

Joel McHale To Host The Next ESPYs

We’re guessing that McHale will feel a little more comfortable doing roast jokes of professional athletes than having to do roast jokes about journalists and politicians, then follow President Obama in front of some of the world’s most powerful people.

The ESPYs are returning in July and they have gotten Joel McHale to come aboard for host the night’s festivities. You’ll get to see it broadcast live on ABC, which will undoubtedly will make for some memorable moments, both planned and unplanned.

The ESPYs have only had Samuel L. Jackson return as host, but we’ll all see if McHale pulls off a hosting job that will have him back on July 15th.
