Our Editor's Take

Talk is Jericho is a podcast like no other. The host is pro wrestling champ Chris Jericho. He tells stories of his own life and interviews other big names from the entertainment industry.

Listeners love the accessible and honest way Jericho speaks. He comes at everything in a blunt way, making a show he says is for the "average Joe."

He recounts his audition for The Jersey Shore, meeting his castmates, and dealing with the overnight superstar fame (and fortune) that accompanied it. He reveals his many rock-bottom moments, and the one that finally made him get sober and clean up his act for good. He also discusses his relationships, then and now, with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, DJ Pauly D, Vinny Guadagnino, and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and some of the big differences in filming Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
