While the Patriots legend plans his unfortunately minor foray into comedy with an upcoming Netflix roast in his honor, Manning is set to one-up his once rival in the field of funny by executive producing an upcoming NBC workplace comedy named What Are the Odds?, a series set at a Las Vegas sports book. The show will be made under the banner of Manning’s entertainment company, Omaha Productions, which also produces Manningcast, a series wherein Peyton and his brother Eli provide casually hilarious commentary during Monday Night Football.

No specifics have been released regarding casting choices for What Are the Odds?, but long-time fans of athletes who can legitimately make us laugh are holding out hope that Manning himself will appear on-screen, given his impressive resume for being actually funny and not just “jock reads nerd writer’s jokes off a teleprompter” funny.
