Eli Manning SNL: Giants Star's Tebowing Caps Successful Comedy Debut

Many people didn't know what to expect when it was announced that New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was going to host Saturday Night Live, but his performance turned out to be quite impressive.

While his skit on being a little brother was perhaps his finest moment of the show, the one part of the episode people are talking about is when he "Tebowed" while in a skit involving motion-capturing for the new Madden NFL video game.

The skit also involved actors playing as several other NFL players, including Tim Tebow, Troy Polamalu, Ray Lewis and Victor Cruz.

Below is the video of the entire Tebowing skit.

Aside from the Tebow skit, Manning's best performance of the night came in a skit about the "Little Brothers" charity.

In this skit, Manning helped kids who are bullied by their older brothers and the Giants star actually helps the kids get back at their older siblings.

Here is the video of the Little Brothers skit.

Manning is a mild-mannered, relaxed player on the field, but he really unleashed his funny side on SNL and proved he could be a valuable member of the program.

I would probably give Eli's performance a better grade than his brother Peyton's performance on the show back in 2007.

So much so, that it would be nice if he actually returned sometime in the future.
