“In this new series, Peyton Manning asks 100 experts in various categories to rank each contender using statistics, innovation, and legacy as criteria,” the official synopsis states. “From Henry Ford, Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos to Evel Knievel, Harry Houdini and Johnny Knoxville, this series puts ten G.O.A.T.s head-to-head in different categories in each episode, including toys, inventions, daredevils, sports cars, sports stadiums, candy, titans of industry and dynamic duos. Starting from number ten and leading up to the number one spot, viewers will learn incredible facts as well as the history behind each topic followed by a vigorous debate.”

Manning is the host and executive producer of the show. It is produced by Six West Media Group in association with Manning’s production company Ohama Productions. “We can’t think of a better partner to help us bring this new series to life than Peyton — a real-life G.O.A.T. in his own right,” Eli Lehrer, executive vice president and head of programming for The History Channel, said in a statement. “Viewers can expect a fun, fast-paced hour of television as one of the greatest in sports history leads them through some of the most fascinating G.O.A.T’s.”
