Paul Wight Reflects on His SNL Improv Experience
Paul Wight, known for his wrestling persona as The Big Show, reminisced about his guest appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he had the chance to showcase his comedic skills. This opportunity arose during a segment with notable figures like The Rock, Mick Foley, Triple H, and Vince McMahon.
In an interview, Wight recounted how McMahon encouraged him to embrace his humor, leading to an improvised moment where he hid a chair behind his back. This experience marked a turning point for Wight, as he discovered the joy of performing in front of a live audience.
Wight humorously noted that his newfound passion for comedy became a source of annoyance for McMahon, who eventually found himself trying to escape Wight's persistent attempts to engage him in comedic exchanges.
