Peyton & Cooper Manning Bring Family Fun to ‘Capital One College Bowl’
Preview
Few NFL players mastered the late-game pressure quite like Peyton Manning. Now, the Hall of Famer is quarterbacking this all-new version of the classic quiz show, the Capital One College Bowl.
The setup: Trios of students from 12 top colleges and universities face off for big scholarship money (the pot is now $1 million), spurred on by video messages from famed alumni. (Michigan’s booster? Manning’s longtime rival, Tom Brady!)
In the sidekick role, older brother Cooper cracks wise; at one point, he intercepts an Olympics question by naming his favorite would-be event of the Games: hot dog eating.

“They have this great dynamic,” executive producer David Friedman says. “It almost feels like the brothers are hosting the show from the family basement.”
