Payton and Eli Manning real If you want to believe in Disney's previous performances, you want to develop your acting career.

During Tuesday’s annual introduction to advertising buyers in New York City, Mouse highlighted its sports more than anything else, cruising the Manning Mountains and several other star athletes in front of advertising buyers, and even connecting the content of Disney scripts to what’s going on on court and venues.

The speech opened with a five-minute marching band performance, composed of musicians from Jackson State and Delaware State University, plus a contestable Mickey Mouse as a drummer. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Philadelphia Eagles ran back to Saquon Barkley, followed by a stage at the Javits Center in New York, where Mahomes praised the story of "bold originality, no doubt, no doubt Magic" that made Disney's "final MVP" before the introduction.

Although Iger mentioned Disney’s newly announced theme park in Abu Dhabi and usually shouted the company’s work in entertainment and news, his excitement for sports is the most specific – making him humbly brag about the time he spent with football players and thanks them for bringing Disney to Disney’s highlights to emphasize that Disney is on the most platforms, which is “the most platforms.”

Manning is the next big work of the show. After the hiss of various Disney plans proposed by Eli, Eli said he had only "a note" for the company: "Not enough Mannings." He and Payton then showed all the company's "MVP IP" through the song. With backup dancers and picky trebles, they suggested they took over ABC's "High Potential", "Abbott Elementary" and "Morning America" ​​and Hulu's "Paradise" and "The Only Murder in the Buildings".

It was a well-received person in five minutes, but they earned points in puns: they proposed to replace Kaitlin Olson's "High Potential" Cleaning Lady with "Cleaning Manning" and renamed other shows to "Abbott Eli Manning-Tary", "Good Manning America", "Pey-Manning America", "Pey-Radise", "Pey-Radise", "Pey-Radise" and "Buildings."

As always, a high-profile cast from Disney’s portfolio comes to talk about their show and prompt for videos. Among them are Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short, The Only Murder. Jeremy Allen-White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach of The Bear, Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope and Ryan Murphy’s Ashton Kutcher of the upcoming FX horror series “The Beauty”; and Niecy Nash-Betts of Hulu’s upcoming legal drama (another Murphy Show), Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close and Teyana Taylor, “ All's Fair”, series protagonist Kim Kardashian introduces them in a pre-recorded video.

The script shows that the widest segments are obtained from Disney's major franchise. Following Darth Vader’s creepy introduction, Diego Luna and Hayden Christensen noted that this year marks the 20th anniversary of “The Revenge of the Sith” and commented on the prevalence of Star Wars fans around the world while highlighting the entire Disney+’s final hours including “Andor” Season 2, which is the entire franchise broadcast worldwide.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the subject of the speech’s biggest news - Krysten Ritter will reprise Jessica Jones’ role in “Daredevil: Rebirth” Season 2 – with Ritter and series chief Charlie Cox himself, followed by Sir Ben Kingsley. This led to the most exciting shot of the day, a trailer for "Alien: Earth" proposed by Timothy Olyphant, Sydney Chandler and Babou Ceesay stars.

As an industry leader in home programming, Disney also paired Ginnifer Goodwin with Auli'i Cravalho to shout out the dramatic releases of the upcoming "Zootopia 2" and "Moana 2", while also mentioning the massive Disney+ Disney audiences gained by the original films in both series.

Still, everything is back to sports. Disney's global advertising president Rita Ferro opened her excitement by celebrating the victory of the New York Knicks, and while her focus is on advertising infrastructure in Disney's portfolio, ESPN is the only brand she specifically mentioned. Even in Ryan Seacrest's speech, Ryan Seacrest, known for hosting competitions and holiday shows, sports constituted half of the live event called.

The other parts are led by NBA commentator Stephen A. Smith, who talks about ESPN's new streaming app. Football and basketball analysts Elle Duncan, Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter, who announced the new women’s sports review show “Vibe Check”; University of Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian and ESPN journalist Laura Rutledge talked about ABC and ESPN college football products; ESPN host Joe Buck, former quarterback and current ABC/ESPN host Troy Aikman plus Barkley and Hawks center Jason Kelsce, who focused on professional football.

When Glen Powell appears to be discussing his upcoming Hulu football comedy Chad Powers, he was introduced by Mannings, who produced the series by executives. They returned to the sides of the introduced marching band, this time led by Stupid rather than Mickey.

The most commonly used joke in Disney's speech was Bill Belichik, most notably Buck said that the infamous football coach would soon sing "Endless Love" with his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. (Most mentions Pope Leo XIV ranked second, Martin Short said he was told that every Disney show would have white smoke, and cancelled Disney shows would be renewed and black smoke.)

As it further strengthens sports content and continues to build up several of its script franchises, Disney seems to invest less in the radio and television division than ever before.

There is little mention of ABC in Javits Center, the brand could have dominated Disney's early stages. ABC genius Olson, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Robin Roberts did do short comedy reliefs to refute their Mannings during the musical number. But none of ABC's primetime programming has its own segment, and not even the network's only new show for the 2025-2026 season: "9-1-1: Nashville." Although the show Ryan Murphy created on multiple other platforms has attracted attention throughout the speech, it wasn't until Jimmy Kimmel's closing monologue that he had a new "9-1-1" that he didn't mention it, or was favorable.

“At ABC, we ordered a new show, which is a spin-off of an old show, and it really begs the question: What are we doing here?” said: “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host, who is the only ABC talent to be on stage for more than a minute. "Does we risk our lives for this? I mean, if you went to a restaurant, the waiter said, 'Our special tonight was last year's fish,' Would you eat it? No, you won't. You won't. Our fish isn't fresh. But you know what we have. Tell us what you have on ABC - we're still the only network that can see pop music, squeezed in season 34 of "The Golden Bachelor" and "Dancing with the Stars". At ABC, we know what young people want to see, not us."

Of course, these jokes are safe enough to be made in front of ad buyers, as the rest of the speech focuses on the only radio show that has not lost its audience in the streaming era: Sports: Sports. And, that won't change anytime soon - unless Mannings finds someone who can green light to comedy series.
