- Chris Jericho recently appeared on the UK’s Ministry of Slam radio show and revealed that WWE almost used him as the host of the current season of Tough Enough. Jericho said:
“At one point I was in talks to host the show, but then Dancing With The Stars came up so it just wasn’t going to work out. Steve’s doing a great job – he’s made it his show at this point. But it could have been Chris Jericho hosting the show and it would have had a bit of a different slant. I don’t think I could have been as tough on those guys as Steve is. He’s like a drill sergeant. It’s fun to watch them squirm.”
