The Miz Exclusive Interview: 'Cannonball', Reality TV Roots, WWE Without Crowds & More

How has the feedback been so far to you hosting 'Cannonball'?

Miz: Honestly, the feedback has been better than I ever could have expected. I didn't expect this show to be as popular [as it has been], I didn't expect NBC as well as USA to be behind it. I didn't expect 'Cannonball' to be on NBC, but NBC Universal loved it so much that they wanted more and more of it and I've been wowed by it. It's just a fun show, especially when there's been so much drama and conflict in this world. I think people need a chance to just revamp themselves and just laugh and this show gives you exactly that. We've just been having fun with it.

It's been a great show and all my friends want to be on it now. Not only that but WWE Superstars. Sasha Banks comes up to me every week and says, "So, when am I going to be on 'Cannonball'?" I'm like, look, if we get another season, and judging by the popularity of Cannonball I feel like we will, I think we got to have a WWE version.
