Kristen Wiig appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night and did a stellar Peyton Manning impersonation. The SNL alum, known for roles in hilarious films including Bridesmaids and Zoolander 2, nailed the impression.
Wearing a Denver Broncos uniform, Kristen Wiig–as Peyton Manning–was a little off on her details of the big game, but that didn’t mar her performance in the least.

“It was 14-6…in my mind,” she said of the Super Bowl 50 score.
Kristen Wiig also fumbled her way over her critique of the Super Bowl MPV, who was Peyton Manning’s teammate Von Miller.
“He didn’t do anything wrong the whole game,” she said. “I was like, ‘I’m so proud of you, just go out tonight. Have a good time.”

In addition to not acing her football-themed interview, Kristen Wiig also proved she wasn’t much for playing the sport, as she threw a golden football, much to the chagrin of anyone in the audience–or at home, too–who could at least throw a football.
