Peyton and Eli Manning Really want to develop their acting career, if we believe the initial Disney show.
The Mouse House has highlighted its sports programming more than anything else during its annual presentation to announcements of announcements Tuesday in New York, by moving the Mannings and several other star athletes in front of the buyers of ads and even by connecting the content of Disney scripted to what is happening on the field.
The presentation opened its doors with a fanfare performance which lasted more than five minutes, made up of musicians from Jackson State and Delaware State plus a Mickey Mouse ready for Gameday as a major drum. The quarter of the Chiefs of Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes and the Eagles of Philadelphia, the Ballon Saquon Barkley Ball carrier, then took the scene at the New York Javits Center, with Mahomes praising the Disney narration, daringly original and fierce, before introducing the Iger.
And although Iger is mentioned from the newly announced theme park of Disney to Abu Dhabi and generally shouted the work of the company through entertainment and the news, he was the most precise in his excitement for sports programs – by making a humble winner on the time he spent for footballers and asking them for the highlights of the industry “before stressing that Disney is live in the industry “.
The Mannings were the next big piece of the show. After a sizzling coil from various Disney programs dismissed by Iger, Eli said that he had “only one note” for the company: “not enough Mannings”. He and Peyton then presented the whole “MVP IP” of the company via Song. With rescue dancers and highly bothered notes in Gogo, they suggested that they take care of the higher billing positions in ABC “High Potential”, “Abbott Elementary” and “Good Morning America” as well as “Paradise” and “only ensuring in the building” of Hulu.
At five minutes, the little has exceeded his welcome, but they got points for their word games: they proposed to replace the lady of cleaning “High Potential” by Kaitlin Olson with a “Manning cleaning” and rename the other shows to “Abbott Eli Manning-Tary”, “Good Manning America”, “Pey-Radise” and “Only Manning in Building”.
As usual, groups of high -level distribution members of the entire Disney portfolio came out of their emissions and the images citure. Among them were Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin short of “only murders in the building”; Jeremy Allen-White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach of “The Bear” (with the three mentioning the films supported by Disney in which they also act); Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope and Ashton Kutcher of the next FX horror series by Ryan Murphy “The Beauty”; And Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close and Teyana Taylor of the next legal drama of Hulu (another show by Murphy) “All’s Fair”, with the Leadais of the Kim Kardashian series presenting them in a pre-recorded video.
The scripted shows that obtained the most extensive segments all came from large Disney franchises. Following a frightening intro of Dark Vader, Diego Luna and Hayden Christensen noted that this year is the 20th anniversary of “Revenge of the Sith” and pointed out the omnipresence of Star Wars fans in the world – while stressing that the entire Streams franchise on Disney +, including the “Andor” season 2 Upfront.
The Marvel cinematographic universe has been the subject of the largest news of the presentation – that Krysten Ritter will take up the role of Jessica Jones in “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2 – with Ritter and the Charlie Cox series in person, followed by Sir Ben Kingsley, who spoke of his new McU show “Wonder Man.” This led to the most exciting images of the day, a trailer for “Alien: Earth” presented by the stars Timothy Olyphant, Sydney Chandler and Babou Ceesay.
And as a leader in industry in family programming, Disney has also twinned Ginnifer Goodwin in Auliʻi Cravalho to shout the next theatrical outings of “Zootopia 2” and “Moana 2”, while also mentioning the Disney + massif the show made by original films in these two series.
However, everything returned to sport. Disney’s global advertising president Rita Ferro opened her Spiel by celebrating the New York Knicks victory the day before, and although her goal is an AD infrastructure through the Disney portfolio, ESPN was the only brand it specifically mentioned. Even during a presentation by Ryan Seacrest, better known for organizing competitions and holiday programs, sports constituted half of the live events that were called.
Other segments were led by the NBA commentator Stephen A. Smith, who spoke of the new ESPN streaming application; Football and basketball analysts Elle Duncan, Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter, who announced a new sports comment program led by “Vibe Check” women; Football coach of the University of Texas, Steve Sarkisian and the journalist ESPN, Laura Rutledge, who spoke of the university football offers of ABC and ESPN; And the anchor of ESPN Joe Buck and the former quarter-arre and the current anchor ABC / ESPN Troy Aikman Plus Barkley and the Center of Eagles Jason Kelsce, who focused on professional football.
When Glen Powell seemed to discuss his next Hulu football comedy “Chad Powers”, he was presented by the Mannings, who produced the series. They returned to the stage flanked by the intro fanfare – this time led by GOOFY instead of Mickey.
Throughout Disney’s presentation, the most used joke subject was Bill Belichik, including including Buck saying that the infamous football coach will come out soon to sing “Endless Love” with his much younger girlfriend Jordon Hudson. (Pope Leo XIV arrived in second place for most of the mentions, with Martin Short telling him that there would be white smoke for each Disney program that was renewed and black smoke for cancellations.)
While it increases more on sporting content and continues to develop its several scripted franchises, Disney seems less invested in its television arm broadcast than ever.
ABC, the brand that would have dominated Disney in Disney’s advance in a previous time, was barely mentioned in Javits Center. ABC Talent Olson, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Robin Roberts made brief comic cameos to refute the manses during their musical number, and Roberts reappeared later alongside David Muir to boast the success of “Good Morning America” and ABC News. But none of the prime time programs of ABC obtained its own segment, not even the only new show of the network for the 2025-2026 season: “9-1-1: Nashville”. Despite programs created by Ryan Murphy on several other platforms receiving a projector throughout the presentation, the new “9-1-1” did not come before the closing monologue of Jimmy Kimmel, and he did not mention it by his name-or favorably.
“At ABC, we ordered a new show, and it’s a spin-off of an old show, which really poses the question: what are we doing here?” Said the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Host, who was the only ABC talent to go on stage for more than a minute. “Have we risked our lives to fly in Newark for that?” I mean, if you were going to a restaurant and the server said: “Our special tonight is last year’s fish”, would you eat it? No, you wouldn’t do it. Our fish are not fresh. But you know what we have: Season Grandfothfucking 2 of` The Golden Bachelor. “Say what you want on ABC – We are always the only network where you can see Pop Pop get a squeezer in a whirlpool. At ABC, we know what young people want to see, and it’s not us. »»
Of course, these jokes were sure enough to do in front of the buyers of announcements, since the rest of the presentation focused on the only type of broadcast programming that has not lost viewers in the streaming era: sport. And that will not change anytime soon – unless the Mannings find someone for Greenlight the series of musicals, they seem to dream.
