10 Wrestlers Who Did Bizarre TV Shows

1. MJF: The Rosie O'Donnell Show

Maxwell Jacob Friedman proved he had the sweetest voice in all of professional wrestling when he and Chris Jericho dueted in October 2020. Le Dinner Debonair saw the duo woo each other cabaret style, to a version of Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.'s Me and My Shadow, earning a spot on the New York Times' Best Performances of 2020 list in the process.

Seven months later, they're about to murder each other inside Blood and Guts. So it goes.

MJF flexing his mighty vocal talents on national television isn't anything new though. At just five years old, Max appeared on The Rosie O'Donnell Show to deliver a touching rendition of Your Are My Sunshine after submitting a tape of him singing the song. The interview preceding the performance saw the young Friedman claiming he wanted to become a singer and a wrestler when he grew up, so consider those boxes ticked.

Still, as majestic as the performance was (you should definitely watch it if you haven't already), MJF singing You Are My Sunshine has since become easy pickings for any wrestler The Salt of the Earth finds himself feuding with these days.

And poor Chris Van Vliet.
