Here are the cameos in You're Cordially Invited, ranked:
4) Nick Jonas as Pastor Luther
You're Cordially Invited shows Nick Jonas in the role of Pastor Luther, who officiates Neve and Dixon's wedding. Pastor Luther becomes a source of humor because he insists on singing the Creed songs. He also becomes the center of attention in the film, leading to some chuckles on his own. Overall, he uses his comedic and singing skills for his memorable appearance in this project.
3) Wyatt Russell as The Host of The Masked Dancer
Wyatt Russell appears briefly in You're Cordially Invited as a reality TV show host. His appearance is not as long as some other cameos, but he still leaves a mark with his passionate rendition of Islands in the Stream in a montage.
Russell's character hosts a show titled The Masked Dancer, which might be a reference to Fox's The Masked Singer. If you want to see more from this actor, you're in luck! He will be appearing in MCU's upcoming Thunderbolts*.
2) Bobby Moynihan as Himself
Bobby Moynihan, widely known for his extensive work on NBC's Saturday Night Live, appears in You're Cordially Invited as a rendition of himself. In this version, he is a host for a game show titled Is It Dead?, which falls under Reese Witherspoon's character's supervision. Moynihan's comedic chops make his scenes laugh-out-loud funny as he asks the contestants whether an animal is dead or alive. It is a hilarious set-up that seems straight out of the SNL's writers' room.
1) Peyton Manning as Himself
Peyton Manning's appearance in You're Cordially Invited might be a big surprise for many viewers, considering the reputation that precedes this former American football quarterback. However, the same reputation helps the film establish its quirkiness. Manning plays a version of himself, who approaches Reese Witherspoon's big-time television-producer character with a show pitch. She can't focus on that pitch since she is caught up with planning her sister's wedding.
Manning keeps getting ignored similarly. His overall lack of interest in the wedding adds to the film's occasionally wry humor. At the film's end, he also appears singing Islands in the Stream.
