WWE.com interview

0 Comments

Swagger talks to WWE.com about a prank he and Zeb Colter pull on their friends as part of the site’s Greatest Pranks series.

Going around now, me and Zeb call it “Paparazzi.” I’ll set someone up and I’ll turn their back to Zeb, come up from behind and scare them. And the whole time there’s a videotape, but they don’t know it. And a couple seconds later we’ll send them a video and when they’re watching, we’ll come up and scare them again. We’ve gotten like six people with it already. Tom Phillips will jump at anything. Renee Young. We really target announcers, it seems like. Rosa Mendes will jump all the time. The pie in the sky would be if I can turn it around and get Zeb at his own game.

Booker talks to WWE.com about a prank once pulled by Brian Knobbs as part of the site’s Superstar’s greatest pranks series.

I remember we were on tour in Germany and Knobbs had been pranking everybody on the plane flying over. We were friends, I didn’t think he would get me. I also always dressed really nice, and that day I had a nice jacket on with a sweater vest and a shirt with some nice slacks. Anyway, I fell asleep, and when I woke up I had two pieces of cheese inside of my vest that he had stuffed in there, and they had made big round spots on my shirt. You can’t get that out. I realized all of my fingernails were painted red and I had whipped cream stacked up on top of my head like yay high. The road agent was sitting right behind me on the plane. I look behind at him and I go, “Man, you need to take care of this. This needs to stop” He looks at me, shows me all of his fingers, and all of his fingers were painted red also.

Hines discusses his life and career, including latest project Tappin’ Thru Life, in this interview for PBS.

And in my show, my show really has evolved into a love letter to my mother. Because it was my mother that really nurtured Gregory and I, and she had the vision. She had the vision for her sons. I say that in my show. At the show, I sing a song – and my father went along for the ride now. He did, but she had the vision. I sing, “You’re Just Too Marvelous” to her picture.

Carter talks to Grantland.com about her failed negotiations with AJ Styles.

I hate that we lost AJ. Are you listening? I hate it. I felt like we gave him a great offer. I really did. I felt like we gave him a great offer and I think he made a mistake.

Timothy Olyphant interview

Olyphant returns as a guest on Conan wearing a tennis shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. He talks about his upcoming movie, This is Where I Leave You and his technique to not feeling intimidated acting around big celebrities.

This is my trick. They don’t teach this in Kung Fu. I came up with this on my own. You just come up with the least intimidating — whatever they got on their resume. And you just hold that and then it seems like such a big deal when you’re working opposite them. Bateman is amazing and all of these things but if I just say oh, yeah, from Mr. Belvedere. Yeah. I really enjoyed that show.

Pedrad appears on Conan as a guest and talks about her famous Kim Kardashian impression on Saturday Night Live, her unaired Aziz Ansari impression skit and her strong childhood crush on O’Brien.

I had a debilitating crush on you in high school. I was unreasonable, though. I was very young, but I had this very intense romantic feelings for you. I had like a “vision board” in my bedroom. You know what that is? It’s like pictures of things you like and/or want, and mine was Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Claire Danes, Destiny’s Child and then you.

I started working with them before the London Olympics and they helped me with some really high tech sports performance analysis and provided support beyond what I could have imagined.

Jamison discusses her dance career and being artistic director for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in this interview for PBS.

The idea that dance can move people not just here in this country, but as we are cultural ambassadors for our country, the idea is that you’re there in a theater in a live performance where your eyes can do and go where they want to go. And where they go is usually to the heart and soul of that dancer.

NOLA.com interview

Swagger talks to NOLA.com about turning into a hero character and Wrestlemania 30.

It was definitely one of my favorite WrestleManias. I’ve been a part of six. It was a different type of atmosphere there, and it was a very special moment, at least for me. I know a couple of other superstars really enjoyed it as well, and not just Bourbon Street. Going back there, I’m very excited.
