This really happened.
Eli Manning and Peyton Manning’s ManningCast has produced several viral moments since its debut, but Monday’s broadcast of the Chargers-Jets game featured a truly bizarre sight.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former California governor and actor, appeared with the Manning brothers and brought out a donkey live on the air. The donkey then devoured some unspecified meat, leaving Peyton and Eli completely baffled.

Of course, Eli Manning took the moment as an opportunity to make fun of Peyton Manning’s eating habits, saying the donkey “looks like you eating” as the broadcast went to break.
Here’s the hilarious video.

Some astute fans tied the clip back to a 2021 moment on the ManningCast when Peyton Manning was caught on camera eating a piece of chicken during a commercial break, which Eli Manning certainly had plenty of fun with.
It’s these types of moments that make the show entertaining, well beyond the high-level football analysis the Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks can provide. Fans loved it.
Peyton too mesmerized to talk ???????????? https://t.co/l25YOoRDIJ

“Terminator feeding a donkey during the Jets game” wasn’t on my Monday Night Football bingo card, but it may have been the most entertaining thing about what was otherwise a sleeper between the Chargers and Jets.
