British-American actress, Lily Collins was once amused by the former NFL player, Peyton Manning’s Emily in Paris season 2 skit that he performed at the Saturday Night Live show, in 2022.
Collins, who played the role of Emily Cooper, even found Manning’s skit to be extremely hilarious. She quickly went on to share an Instagram post of the former football star's surprise appearance on the show.
The video clip showed how at one point, Manning put on Emily's signature red beret to emulate her distinctive fashion sense. The actress thus captioned the clip; “Peyton Manning in a beret is everything I didn’t know I needed. Still dying over the @emilyinparis-inspired Weekend Update on @nbcsnl last night….”

It is important to highlight that Peyton Manning was a part of the show with American comedian and writer, Colin Jost. The quarterback was initially asked to discuss the exciting football weekend from the divisional round of the playoffs, but he talked on a completely different topic.
The now 48-year-old revealed that he had one hour before the game began so he watched the first episode of Collins' series and got so hooked to it that he ended up binge-watching the entire season in one go.
