He had very few lines but they had some of the most natural delivery I've ever seen on this show. Makes me wonder if part of it has to do with his love of true crime.
The best part of the sketch is when Eli bends forwards towards the mic. That pause and actions makes the sketch amazing. They could have easily not done that but that kind of small details is why snl is the greatest.
Shout out to the folks in the jury who managed to sit through that whole thing looking sober and thoughtful like they were really concerned about getting the right verdict
Sitting forward, putting his mouth right up to the mic, and taking a very brief pause before speaking every time - that’s what makes this work. Good job, Eli!
When you realize that all they really needed was the pic of the banana, which was taken at home, it makes it funnier bc all this extra embarrassment was unnecessary

Eli did amazing! My first few couple of times watching this skit, I didn't even know he's not an actual comedian. He's so natural at this! I also amazed by Abby as the Prosecutor for being able to keep a straight face the whole time 😂
Hey Rexy1776. Just thought I'd add my two cents that I took your statement to be a perfectly innocent comment about something you found funny. And I don't get why so many people are giving you shit about it. So, just wanted to offer some support. People on the internet can be dicks for no reason sometimes.
i thought he did a fine job and was quite funny playing it so straight, totally fit the character. once or twice he smiled just a bit, but otherwise unbreakable.
Wayne J leading them to two improbable super bowls when they had an airtight defense and the! failing to do shit with one of the best receivers in the game.
100% agreed. Up until now I used to think he was a member of the cast because he seems like a natural to me. Only now I googled him and it turns out he's a sportsman.
From high school in the 90s kewl was our cool word. It's the patois version of cool actually but it seemed to have come a far way. I still use it in text messaging. It is pronounced the same way as cool tho...
This one time, a guy I had hooked up with once over 3 years prior sent a group message on facebook to me and over 20 other women. It was something like, "hey, what are you up to tonight 😉?" The thing is, he didn't realize that I, and everyone else he sent it to, could see that he had messaged all of us at once. 😂 Everyone on his hook up list learned just how wide a net he casts, and that he was probably hitting up a lot of women every time he messaged them previously. 😭 For the record, he was actually pretty cute and nice when I knew him back in 2013, so I'm not trying to shit on him, it's just hilarious that he got caught messaging that many women at once. I actually had the heart to tell him what had happened, but he pretended not to know anything about any group message, and insisted that it must have been some facebook glitch 😂 Man, I hope he doesn't see this comment, because I don't want him to feel bad. We've all done embarrassing things before, it's just that his embarrassing moment is too funny not to share. 😂😋
you liked him enough you let him off the hook, and if you liked him more he'd be back on the hook again. He must have been gorgeous. I think 20 is pretty high. i wouldn't trust him.
@Book SnakeA) pretty sure more than one person was laughing. More than one person = people. So yeah. Job done. If it's not funny to you than don't hang around. They had fun. I had fun. So did others. B) Keeping a straight face isn't a prerequisite for a job in comedy.
Haha! This is fantastic. Who knew Eli Manning was so good at acting? I always think Peyton's ads are pretty funny, but Eli does a better job than many of the SNL regular cast members at staying in character and actually acting. This was an unexpected gem of a skit.
Eli did such a great job. He keeps a straight face under the hilarious circumstances. It's incredible. This is an all-time SNL sketch involving a professional athlete.
The key to keeping a straight face under the hilarious circumstances, is to focus on the money. Think of how many things you'll be able to buy with the money you received for doing the skit.
This really is a great skit. Well written and performed. Eli did a fantastic job re-enacting himself : ). They probably got a hold of his phone when he used the restroom the first time, then wrote this …. We all know a guy who is like this, in reality…
Luqman Hakim it's up to use trials aren't public acceptable people in the room so wouldn't be that bear saying and they're not allowed to talk about the trial once it's over anyways
He was given the easiest thing ever and he failed at that too, like they broke his lines up so much cuz they know he can't act cuz he's an athlete, he's not good at this.
Oriolez what am i going to do with a bunch of young virgins or old hoes....should be living alone running through tourists.. doctors.. teachers nurses.. as of 10 yeaes ago.. not assholes eho fuck ur life up
I work in criminal defense and I have to say... some of the nuances that they placed in here are pretty accurate! The bit is hilarious but the details really put this over the top. 10/10.
After watching this sketch a few times I've realized but there's probably a trial out there where the defendant really did have a defense like this and honestly I get a lot out of that

Eli Manning's incredibly straight responses to the questions made this skit very funny.
He's dealt with the NY media in the most popular city and has handled it like a pro's pro. Of course Eli can keep a straight face
Lmfaoooo I swear

I think he played that role well because he wasn't acting, that's really his actual kinda akward personality
