Peyton Manning is one of the best athletes to ever live, but he’s no impressionist. That much became clear when he announced Arnold Schwarzenegger as the next guest on the ManningCast during a skit where he did his best impression of the iconic actor. Schwarzenegger was not impressed.
The skit features Manning on a phone call as he tries to pitch an intro for his mysterious guest that involves him showing up to Eli Manning’s basement kneeling and naked—a nod to the classic film The Terminator where Schwarzenegger first broke into the industry for his portrayal of a killer robot.
Once revealed, Schwarzenegger refuses the request but still says he’ll show up for the ManningCast.

Manning then tries to pitch Schwarzenegger on saying his iconic, “I’ll be back,” line when they go to a commercial. Again, the former California governor declines. Schwarzenegger will be on the show Monday night when the Chargers face the Jets, but it doesn’t sound like he wants to hear any more impressions.
“No, no, no, that’s not how I say it,” he said. “If you want to imitate me, then do it the right way. My name is Peyton Manning, and I’m the worst impressionist!”
