Following the success of his “Paintin’ Manning” commercial earlier this year, Peyton Manning has returned with a new Nationwide commercial just in time for the NFL’s Thanksgiving slate of games.
In the new ad, he’s “Debatin’ Manning,” facing off against a tough opponent on the debate stage.
“The commercials are always fun, but they’re so much more – they’re also a way to help people understand what ‘On Your Side’ really means,” Manning said in a statement. “The Nationwide team is there for their customers to help them with their financial and insurance needs. I know how important it is to have teammates that you can count on to have your back, and Nationwide sharing that mentality is important to me.”

The new ad made its debut during NBC’s coverage of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It will continue to air during the NFL games scheduled for Thursday. Nationwide has also released a 15-second “Calculatin’ Manning” commercial.
Manning, 48, retired from the NFL after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos in 2016. Eight years after his retirement from pro football, Manning remains one of the most marketable figures in sports.
