MORE PARTS FOR PEYTON?
Though Colts quarterback Peyton Manning plans to continue to play football, he could have some other opportunities in the entertainment business.
Lorne Michaels, the producer and creator of Saturday Night Live, is pondering the possibility of making Manning a mid-season addition to the cast after Manning's football season ends in 2008.
"He's a natural," Michaels said, according to the New York Daily Post. "And he'd be a good influence on the rest of the cast. Even after the deaths of John Belushi and Chris Farley, some of those guys still haven't learned that it's not a good idea to constantly snort cocaine. Plus, Manning is a man's man. Some of the guys on our cast are a little bit, well, fruity. Not that there's anything wrong with it."
Manning's March 24 performance as host of the long-running show also has caught the eye of Hollywood, where Mel Brooks is now considering an offer to Manning for a role in the remake of Young Frankenstein.
"When I saw Manning with a skull cap on," said Brooks, "it was Peter Boyle all over again. Manning would be a perfect Frankenstein monster. But we'd have to get him into the gym. He's got the boobs of an eight-year-old boy."
