Which TV show did Eli Manning host in 2012?

Eli Manning hosted Saturday Night Live in 2012.

The New York Giants quarterback hosted the NBC sketch-comedy program on May 5, 2012, near the end of the show’s 37th season. Rihanna served as the musical guest. Manning appeared in sketches that played with his public image as a quieter, more reserved athlete, giving viewers a comic version of the Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

The appearance came only a few months after Manning led the Giants to victory in Super Bowl XLVI. New York defeated the New England Patriots 21–17 in February 2012, and Manning was named Super Bowl MVP after throwing the winning touchdown pass to Mario Manningham.

The clue is sometimes confused with Manning’s older brother, Peyton, who also became a major television personality and later hosted Saturday Night Live. Eli’s episode was a single 2012 hosting appearance, whereas his later media work included football programs and documentary-style series. The stored answer identifies the show, not the episode’s musical guest.
