According to BANG Showbiz and The Hamilton Spectator, Dolph Ziggler and Renee Young have pitched an idea to WWE Network officials which would see the network add a late night chat show. The following are quotes from Dolph Ziggler from The Hamilton report:
“I’m an entertainer. I’ve been writing stand-up material for 20 years. Any time I get a day off, which is maybe 40/50 days a year, I find a way to go do stand-up or tell some jokes online, or go to an open mic at a coffee shop because I want to be the best I can possibly as an entertainer.
Someone who I really like working with at the WWE is Renee Young. We’ve actually pitched a couple different ideas for the Network to possibly have a late night talk show … It would be great to be something along the lines of a Comedy Central show meets a late night talk show. Just something where we can have fun and use our improvisation skills and our training, and have a blast. I think we could start a great, entertaining show.
The two of us have dabbled in stand up; we’ve dabbled in entertainment, in movies. We’re just hard working people that constantly want to entertain, that bring a different facet, and show these different views of that we’re not just guys who run around the ring, fall down and bump into each other. She’s someone who is really great and I’m a big fan of hers. We get on well.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
