Arnold Schwarzenegger was seen feeding his donkey on the Manningcast during the Chargers-Jets game on Monday Night Football, as fans went wild on social media.
Perhaps the most interesting bit of the famous brothers’ commentary over the NFL game happened while the former bodybuilder and California governor was a special guest on their ESPN broadcast.
Both, Peyton and Manning, saw the highlight as an opportunity to make fun of each other while ‘Schwarzy’ was too busy enjoying time with Lulu, his burro.
‘Arnold, I assume your donkey’s name is Peyton. Is that accurate?’ Eli asked, without necessarily knowing the animal’s name.
‘That’s exactly right. How did you know? It’s Peyton No. 2,’ replied Schwarzenegger, who appeared on the show for the promotion of his novel, ‘Be Useful Seven Tools For Life.’
Later on, before another commercial break, the ‘Governator’ was seen feeding his donkey, to everybody’s amusement, whether that’s online or on-air.
‘That donkey looks like you eating, Peyton,’ Eli quipped.
‘I could say the same about you,’ then said the Broncos legend.
Schwarzenegger is in no shortage of farm animals at his California home – a six-acre estate in Brentwood, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, First For Women reported in August.
Besides Lulu, the actor owns a pig named Schnelly, a mini pony called Whiskey, and four puppies: Cherry, Noodle, Dutch and Schnitzel.

‘I’m very fortunate that I can afford animals like that, or have the space for animals like that, or have the time now because of the coronavirus where I can stay home most of the time,’ Schwarzenegger told Fox 5 Atlanta back in 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Fans were stunned by his on-air appearance on Monday, along with his donkey’s. A user on X tweeted: ‘This is so random?’ along with a loudly crying face emoji.
‘Why is it in his house,’ pointed out another. ‘I’d rather watch this than Broncos-Bills next week,’ said another.
‘Just when you thought Arnie couldn’t get any cooler,’ a fan commented.
