George Lopez had a strong tradition of interviewing wrestling stars on his show, and at one point featured an abomination called "WWE Superstar Karaoke Week". These segments ranged from the terrible (R-Truth taking a stab at 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite") to the truly, truly terrible (David Otunga earning himself a night on the couch by mangling Jennifer Hudson's "And I'm Telling You"), but wrestling and karaoke also collided on Lopez' show with less embarrassing results.

This segment features the collision of two of the greatest wrestling characters of all time: Last Angry Man Chris Jericho and WCW Champion David Arquette. Astonishingly, they manage to pull off the fabled double turn, with Jericho breifly channeling his babyface rockstar persona and Arquette becoming a super heel in an autographed Randy Savage jumpsuit (!).

Oh, and then they do a Bonnie Tyler cover.

Immortal Dialogue: "I'm in the record books!"
