Chris Jericho Says He Might Not Attend His WWE Hall of Fame Induction

The Mary Washington Colonial Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) gave The Muppet Show their Television Award of Merit in 1978. It was the first non-historical series to be honored with the award (Captain Kangaroo and Mister Rogers Neighborhood would win in subsequent years). Hosts were originally supposed to be given a Muppet version of themselves at the end of their appearance on the show, but the would-be tradition only lasted for the first two episodes. Only actress and singer Connie Stevens and Juliet Prowse were given their Muppet counterparts. The gifts were scrapped due to the unique Muppets being too expensive to create.

Most early local TV episodes like Sam and Friends were broadcast live, and recording them would involve using a kinescope (a specialized camera that recorded a show directly from a black and white monitor as it aired live). Some existing episodes were recorded because Henson wanted to try new puppetry techniques or review a specific performance. Nick does commentary for Black Label Pro and can be found promoting pro wrestling events for Chicago fans with Viva La Rasslin as well as Duffy’s Bar & Grille in Chicago. WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho is currently scheduled to go on tour with his band Fozzy after WrestleMania 33 and will be gone for the month of May.

The extravagant opening number to The Muppet Show featured the cast of Muppets singing and dancing, culminating in each character standing in five distinctive and lighted arches on stage. Muppets began appearing in sketches on Saturday Night Live’s debut season in 1975, most notably a recurring skit called “The Land of Gorch” which dealt with decidedly adult topics like alcohol abuse, adultery, and drugs. Only hired SNL writers, not Henson employees, were allowed to write the sketches, while puppeteers like Henson, Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz performed them each week.

The site also has all sorts of special incentives to pick up the new disc as well. “Fozzy Across America” finds the group playing three shows in three different time zones on Oct. 14 before the clock turns over a new day. The first show comes at 9AM ET in Fort Myers, Fla. at The Ranch with the band playing for fans and doing a post-show VIP Meet & Greet. From there, they’ll jet off to El Paso, Texas for a 3PM MT performance at the Star City Studios. The final performance of the day will find Fozzy touching down in the Pacific Time Zone at Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Cafe for a show at 11PM PT.

Back to the Future’s original ending has a major plot hole, and Netflix’s new time travel movie has now made the narrative inconsistency even worse. Elgin’s new discovery in the root cellar in From season 3, episode 7 hints that the show may finally solve a mystery related to Jade from season 1.

Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival 2024 Lineup and Info

Jericho is currently being advertised to return to wrestling again for WWE at live events starting in June. As later confirmed by Chris Jericho himself, the former multi-time WWE world champion auditioned for the role of Rondo in 2005 sequel The Devil’s Rejects. Part of The Unholy Two, Rondo and his partner Billy Ray Snapper are a duo of bounty hunters willing to do anything to accomplish their mission. They’re hired by Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe) to track down The Firefly Family.

On October 5, 2022, I had the pleasure of interviewing Chris Jericho again, this time via Zoom and embedded below. Beyond Terrifier 2, we talked about Jericho’s future plans with Fozzy, whether he has plans for another book, his Long Island roots, and what his favorite album by David Lee Roth is. More on Jericho and Terrifier 2 can be found online by clicking here, here, here and here.

Despite the vaudeville shtick, the show was not filmed in front of a full live studio audience. Since the guests wouldn’t make a repeat appearance, they could make their one and only shot count. Guests were allowed to make special requests to the writers to appear in a scene with their favorite Muppet. The vaudeville house where the Muppets supposedly put on each performance is identified as “The Muppet Theatre” (notice the “re” spelling of theater given its London location) as seen in posters and backstage signs throughout the series.

Terrifier 2 had its North American premiere at this year’s Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas and also stars Felissa Rose, David Howard Thornton, Griffin Santopietro and Lauren LaVera. Shudder has announced today that AEW “Le Champion” and Fozzy singer Chris Jericho will co-host the upcoming season premiere episode of The Last Drive-In ChatGPT with Joe Bob Briggs, streaming Friday, April 24 at 9PM ET. Rita Moreno hosted the first episode (and would win an Emmy Award for her appearance), while some celebrities were allowed to be co-hosts. Singers Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge co-hosted in 1978 and singers Roy Rogers and Dale Evans co-hosted in May 1979.

John Cena Kids’ Choice Awards #15

Unfortunately, Jericho didn’t get the part, due to, in apparently Zombie’s words being “too pretty” to play the character. While he’s currently embracing a grizzled veteran look, Jericho has always looked very youthful in the face, and that was still especially the case back in the mid-2000s. In the new film Terrifier 2 — which features Chris Jericho — Art The Clown returns to the timid town of Miles County after being resurrected by a sinister entity. Art The Clown ultimately opts to target a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.

On Sunday, August 25, All Elite Wrestling will return to London, England for their second annual All In pay-per-view. Before the action unfolds at Wembley Stadium, though, FTW Champion Chris Jericho and special guests will treat fans to a night of live music. Chris Jericho is currently away from WWE action and is doing his own thing elsewhere. Along with touring with his band Fozzy, Jericho is hosting a show on Travel Channel and hosting a rock and wrestling cruise.

Ella watched and attended numerous wrestling events growing up, captivated by the likes of Jeff Hardy, Mickie James, and Shawn Michaels. On The Last Drive-In, Joe Bob Briggs, the world’s foremost drive-in movie critic, presents an eclectic horror movie double feature, interrupting the films to expound upon their merits, histories and significance to genre cinema. Episodes of The Last Drive-In first stream on the Shudder TV live feed in the U.S. and Canada before being made available on demand.

How ‘Saw’ ( Gave Fans a New Horror Icon in Jigsaw

Each row was filmed individually, with puppeteers sporting one Muppet per hand, making it roughly seven puppeteers per row. Footage of each pass was then stuck together to make it look like a single performance. Nick has also trained and performed at the Improv Olympic, Annoyance, ComedySportz and Second City improv theaters in Chicago, IL. Chris Jericho may be a man of many talents, but there is one thing he admits he’s not so great at, that being cooking. Campbell played guitar with Motorhead from 1984 until the death of the band’s leader Lemmy in 2015. His band Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons features three of his sons — Todd (guitar), Dane (drums) and Tyla (bass) — and singer Neil Starr.

For this occasion, Fozzy will be joined by a pair of special guests, Flash Garments and AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland. This date will serve as Flash Garments and Strickland’s first show as a rap duo in the United Kingdom. Nick joined WrestleZone in 2015 and has since worked hard to bring pro wrestling fans a variety of exclusive news insights, podcasts, videos and more.

Few professional wrestlers — if any — have been innovative to the extent of All Elite Wrestling’s inaugural World Champion Chris Jericho. In support of his new book No Is A Four Letter Word, Jericho has been making the rounds on television, radio, print, web and podcast outlets. That media blitz is not likely to end anytime soon, given that Jericho’s band Fozzy is about to release a new album.

Jim Henson originally created the Muppets for a 1955 segment called Sam and Friends, a five-minute show that aired twice a day on NBC affiliate WRC-TV in Washington D.C. The lineup is rounded out by tribute bands Shoot to Thrill and Blizzard of Ozzy, Canadian singer-songwriter Dave Spivak Project and hard-rock dancers the Cherry Bombs. I had the pleasure of speaking with Chris Jericho by phone on June 2, 2020 about Kuarantine, KISS, performing with former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, his musical roots beyond The Beatles, his Fozzy bandmates and plenty more. The full interview is embedded for your listening pleasure, while part of the interview has been exclusively transcribed for Sportskeeda. Bryan Cranston’s 2016 overlooked true crime drama film The Infiltrator features an elaborate ensemble cast based on dozens of real-life characters. This upcoming appearance will mark back-to-back years of Fozzy performing during AEW All In weekend.

From fronting his own rock band in “Fozzy”, to hosting his own annual fan cruise, even hosting a game show and becoming a well noted podcaster, Jericho started his adventure going up and down the highways of Alberta. He’s primarily known as a pro wrestler, and according to an Instagram post by Jericho, he’s at least a 37-time champion. He’s a six-time WWF/WWE world champion (via the WWE website) and also a multi-title holder with WCW and ECW. At present, he’s one of the biggest stars signed to AEW and is the company’s first-ever world champion.

Other hosts included eclectic stars like Johnny Cash, Julie Andrews, Peter Sellers, Harry Belafonte, Bob Hope, Liza Minnelli, Vincent Price, Ethel Merman, Diana Ross, Debbie Harry, and Alice Cooper. “We owe everything to Benny,” Kermit says, “including three months back rent! ” This is the only time that the theater isn’t referred to simply as “The Muppet Theatre.” The cruise will also feature international wrestling superstar Kenny Omega (one of Jericho’s recent in-ring opponents) and matches between wrestlers from the Ring of Honor and Impact Wrestling promotions. I was asked if I would do a mold of my hand so that they could make it into an award … I was very honored,” says Iommi. “I was asked to put my arm into this big bucket full of this colored gel, all was going fine until it set and then I found that I couldn’t get my arm back out!

But it has also seen him be very active with quarantine-based projects, like appearing most Saturdays on the Saturday Night Special via Facebook Live. He’s planning a “Rock N’ Wrestling Rager” cruise, touring with his band Fozzy, hosting his Talk is Jericho podcast, and also making the occasional appearance at WWE Live events. The proverbial “List of Jericho” is getting longer each day, but the former Undisputed Champion is still finding a way to balance his hectic schedule. He has a successful podcast he has been hosting for years, he can act, and he is one of the most versatile performers in the ring the business has ever seen.

More on Chris Jericho is online at , while Kuarantine is on Instagram at /kuarantine_official, the Jericho Cruise can be followed via , and Talk Is Jericho is available through all major podcast outlets. In other news, you can look for Fozzy’s Chris Jericho hosting the inaugural Loudwire Music Awards concert and ceremony in Los Angeles at the Novo on Oct. 24. The evening will also reveal all the winners from this year’s Loudwire Music Awards voting. You can currently vote for your favorite acts through the deadline of Oct. 2 at this location.

For several years, you’ve voted for the Loudwire Music Awards online, but come this fall, you’ll be able to actually see the awards experience come to life with the inaugural Loudwire Music Awards ceremony and concert. Check out the full article if you’d like to hear more about his new album, Judas, his paranormal proclivities, and the possibility of him being the leader of both Canada and the United States. Jericho didn’t go into much detail on any of the wrestling related questions so it’s tough to tell if he was being serious or not. Just last month he stated that he considers himself and Vince McMahon friends.

Henson modeled part of the whip-smart sketch framework on the show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, a comedy variety series that aired from 1967 to 1973. Henson and his Muppet Show collaborators even poached a regular Laugh-In sketch called “The Cocktail Party,” for their show called “At the Dance.” In both, different colorful characters met at a party to exchange one-liners. Broadcasting methods in the UK caused shorter commercial breaks, which forced Henson and company to film an extra two minutes for each UK episode. Each extra sketch was normally positioned after a middle break, and regularly featured musical numbers or other basic setups without the participation of that week’s guest star. The Muppets eventually made regular appearances on Today beginning in 1961, and would also appear on late-night shows like The Ed Sullivan Show and The Dick Cavett Show, and variety series like The Jimmy Dean Show, as well as on Sesame Street. As for the award portion of the ceremony, rock and metal fans will be able to vote in several categories, including Album and Song of the Year, beginning on Aug. 15.

He’s also got a successful side gig going as the lead vocalist for Fozzy and has the distinction of having written his own entrance song. He knows how it feels to walk to the ring at an AEW show while thousands of fans serenade him by singing along to “Judas”(via YouTube). In addition to his dual career as a wrestling rock star, Jericho has also extended his talents to hosting a game show and appearing on “Dancing With the Stars.” A few days ago, Jericho announced Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea. A four-night, five-day happening leaving out of Miami, the cruise will do the unthinkable in combining music, pro wrestling, comedy, podcasting and what one would expect from a vacation at sea. As announced by AEW, Fozzy — the heavy metal band voiced by Jericho — will be hosting a concert at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Friday, August 23.

Interestingly, Jericho actually missed out on a potential two-film role, as Trejo briefly played Rondo again in 2019’s 3 From Hell. The Great Gonzo is best known for his weird and wacky stunts, but he started out as a completely different Muppet altogether. Henson allegedly had an unhinged character in mind, and simply chose the actual Gonzo puppet from a previous special called “The Great Santa Claus Switch,” where the puppet was a character called Snarl, the Cigar Box Frackle. To stay with the live act premise of the show, a laugh track was included early on.

And last but not least, Jericho is wrestling Kenny Omega in New Japan Pro Wrestling in January. The new season of The Last Drive-In is part of April’s “Halfway to Halloween” Month on Shudder. Other highlights this month include the new series Cursed Films, a new season of Australian slasher Wolf Creek, and a special collection of the first eight Friday the 13th fozzy hosting movies. According to a 1991 Muppets children’s book called The Phantom of the Muppet Theater, the theater was built by a stage actor named John Stone in 1802. The character only made a few appearances on the show, but a running gag with Kermit had the frog going along with whatever demands were being made in Grosse’s name due to his fear of the theater’s owner.

Jericho also made waves in recent years by jumping to the new All Elite Wrestling (AEW) promotion, eventually reigning as their first world heavyweight champion. Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea combines the different kinds of entertainment events for which Jericho is known. The music component is particularly relevant; Jericho has fronted Fozzy since 1999, and the band has released seven albums.

Few professional wrestlers — if any — have been innovative to the extent of All Elite Wrestling’s inaugural World Champion (and current Ring Of Honor World Champion) Chris Jericho. Jericho made his in-ring debut over 30 years ago in 1990, ultimately capturing major titles in multiple promotions around the world. But that is far from all Jericho has accomplished on a mainstream leve, as he has also found success as an actor, best-selling author, world-touring musician, prolific podcaster and a television host. Combining all of those passions and job titles, Jericho is also the namesake of the Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea, which sails again for a fourth edition in February 2023.

What actually happened was Goldberg defeated Owens because of Jericho’s distraction for the Universal Championship at Fastlane about a month before WrestleMania. Essentially, Owens would have kept the title through to WrestleMania, lose to Jericho and then Jericho would’ve lost to Lesnar at Payback. For the first time in the show’s history, the event will be broadcast live in its entirety via Xbox LIVE, as well as via the Xbox and Revolver Facebook pages.

Jericho has also extended his fame beyond wrestling, fronting the successful metal band Fozzy, and hosting the hit Talk is Jericho podcast, which draws an audience outside of just wrestling fans. He’s also appeared in a few acting roles over the years, danced with the stars, hosted events, and currently narrates the popular wrestling documentary series Dark Side of the Ring. Jericho is basically an industry unto himself at this point, juggling lots of different gigs at basically all times. The wrestling will also feature stars from Ring Of Honor with Jim Ross as host.

• Jericho has also extended his fame beyond wrestling, fronting the successful metal band Fozzy, and hosting the hit Talk is Jericho podcast, which draws an audience outside of just wrestling fans.

Anyway, after a considerable amount of pulling and twisting it eventually came out and the cast looked amazing, so much detail, I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished award. ” See a behind-the-scenes video of the creation of the “Hand of Doom” trophy below. The rock and metal spectacular will take place Tuesday, Oct. 24, at the Novo Theater in the L.A. The preliminary lineup will be revealed Wednesday, July 19, with tickets and VIP packages going on sale at 10AM PT that same day. Meanwhile, the band is also offering fans a chance to buy a seat on their private jet that will be traveling from show to show on the “Fozzy Across America” run. Head over to their PledgeMusic campaign for the new album to find out how you can secure your spot onboard.

Last year, the group again played at the O2 Forum Kentish Town before delivering a live rendition of their popular “Judas” song on the Wembley Stadium stage at All In. Fans can allow their voices to be heard by voting for their favorite artists in a variety of categories, such as Best Guitarist, Best Drummer, Riff Lord and Most Metal Athlete. “My act and the Muppets are both sophisticated and adult, but children love them, too, because we give children a chance to use their imaginations,” Bergen said of his experience on The Muppet Show.

The podcasts includes several Jericho Network staples, including Talk Is Jericho, Konnan and Raven. You can foun additiona information about ai customer service and artificial intelligence and NLP. Other wrestling legends announced as participants include Mick Foley, Diamond Dallas Page, Raven, Disco Inferno, and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. For almost 33 years, Chris Jericho has worked his way into becoming a household name. Most famously known for his professional wrestling exploits, Jericho has taken on numerous ventures in his career.

He is also an avid horror fan, so it is kind of cool to see him get a shot at headlining a horror film. I love seeing people who are horror fans get to realize their dream, much like the Foo Fighters did last year. Hopefully, this is more like that film and not like Gene Simmons in Trick or Treat from the 80s. Before Danny Trejo was cast as Rondo in The Devil’s Rejects, former WWE and current AEW star Chris Jericho wanted the role, but didn’t get it. Any fan of professional wrestling will be familiar with Jericho, who made a name for himself stateside first in ECW, then WCW, before becoming a hall of fame caliber performer during his time in WWE.

He also hosts the Talk Is Jericho podcast, in which he comments on pop culture and entertainment topics. While the nominees have not been announced yet, we are honored to confirm that Tony Iommi will be on hand to receive the Courage Award. The legendary Black Sabbath guitarist and architect of heavy metal has fought a triumphant battle against lymphoma over the past few years, recording Sabbath’s critically acclaimed ChatGPT App album, 13, and embarking on their final tour along the way. Starting next year, the Courage Award will be named the “Iommi” and presented to future courageous artists. Iommi will also have a lasting effect on future Loudwire Music Awards in another way as the guitarist had his hand placed in a mold to help create the “Hand of Doom” trophy that will be presented to all Loudwire Music Awards winners and honorees.

Chris Jericho, coming off a bit role in the horror hit Terrifier 2, has landed the lead role in another horror film titled Dark Match. It will also star Ayisha Issa (Transplant), Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead), Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries), Michael Eklund (Wynonna Earp), and Jonathan Cherry (Goon). It will focus on a small-time promotion who takes a gig putting on a show for a backwoods town, only to realize that the community is run by a cult leader. Ella Jay is a writer, podcaster, interviewer, and host in the wrestling space.
