NBC announced New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will be following in his big brother’s footsteps by hosting the May 5th episode of Saturday Night Live. Joining him for the May 5th appearance as musical guest star is Rihanna who will be making her big screen feature film debut in Universal’s sci-fi action film, Battleship.
 
Unlike Peyton Manning, Eli’s not exactly known for his charming, outgoing personality. It’ll be interesting to see how Eli’s ratings compare to Peyton’s SNL gig (I’m betting not many TV sets in San Diego will be tuned to SNL on May 5th).
