Peyton Manning Stars in NBC 2024 Paris Olympics Promo- Man With a Plan!
The former NFL quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos knows a thing or two about being in front of the camera. The two-time Super Bowl champ is just as famous for his passing yards as he is for his iconic SNL skits. Well, the beloved athlete is once more bringing his on screen talents to NBC. Did you get to see it? Yes, Peyton Manning Stars in NBC 2024 Paris Olympics Promo and he’s a man with a plan.
How so? Well, the premise of the advertisement starts with a shot of a giant loaf or baguette if you will; of French bread flying in the sky like it’s a blimp airship. As the camera frame zooms past the Eiffel Tower and in closer you see a doorway in the side of the bread.
With a little more camera zooming and panning we finally see our star… the man, the myth, and only Peyton Manning. Holding onto the open doorway a group of people with different colorful jumpsuits all quickly leap out the bread blimp. They then skydive and come together to form the notorious Olympics logo (five intertwining rings in blue, black, red, yellow and green).
What’s Peyton doing in the meantime during this skydiving show? He makes an announcement. He says, “Welcome to Paris… home of French bread, wine and now the Olympics!”

Now people… we love us some Manning… but even he could not save this commercial lol. He’s always had great comedic timing, hilarious facial expressions and body language; however, the punchline never quite hit like it’s supposed to.
Nevertheless, we still give NBC some credit for bringing in a funny sports legend in effort to gain some athletic street cred. Yet, this baby and milkshake just did not bring the boys to the yard.
The promo ends with Peyton being in a board meeting with NBC execs; and the “big twist” is that in reality he’s pitching to the executives on how to kick off the Paris Olympics. Peyton is charming. He does his best to carry. However, our man’s talents really deserve better writing. Hopefully next time!
Excitement for the Paris Games?
Is Manning making you kind of excited? Good. That is the whole point of NBC’s promo!
