It was announced on Wednesday that The HISTORY Channel has partnered with Peyton Manning and his company, Omaha Production, on two new series. Manning will host and executive produce the one-hour nonfiction series “History’s Greatest of All-Time with Peyton Manning” and serve as executive producer of the new competition series “The Einstein Challenge.”
Each week during “History’s Greatest of All-Time with Peyton Manning,” the Hall-of-Fame quarterback will count down the greatest of all-time (GOATs) in a single category, from generals to inventors to Presidents. The network has ordered eight, one-hour episodes of the nonfiction series.
“The HISTORY Channel has long been a leader in original programming that informs and entertains audiences,” said Manning. “As a longtime history buff, I couldn’t be more excited for Omaha (Productions) to team up with great historians and producers to create these two shows that celebrate history and uncover stories in a fun way.”
The feeling was mutual.
“We are thrilled to recruit Peyton to our team at The HISTORY Channel,” said Eli Lehrer, executive vice president and head of programming for the network. “To have one of the greatest in sports history educate us about the most fascinating GOATs throughout time, coupled with him producing a smart, witty new show with kids, is unparalleled and we can’t wait to bring these new shows to our audience.”
