INDIANAPOLIS -- Add another activity to Peyton Manning's retirement plans: Comedy Central Roasts.

Manning will join comedians Jeff Ross, Rob Riggle, Jimmy Carr and others in the Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe on Labor Day.

Lowe is a vocal supporter of the Broncos and Manning on Twitter, and posted about his disappointment when he heard of Manning's retirement.

Aside from receiving well-deserved accolades – and a trip to the White House – Manning has kept busy so far. He joined country singer Dierks Bentley for a fishing trip, and is seen making game day cupcakes in a new ad for Papa John's.

The roast won't be Manning's first run at comedy – he took the helm of Saturday Night Live as host of the March 24, 2007, episode.
