Whether it’s kayfabe or not, these moments tested the interviewer’s comfort levels.

Conan O’Brien accumulated perhaps the greatest collection of wrestling interviews in talk show history. His verbal jabs with Triple H in the early 2000s made for some hilarious TV, but Conan‘s most uncomfortable interview was undoubtedly with Goldust.

Goldust unapologetically flirted with Conan from the beginning of the interview, asking, “Is that an extra microphone in your pants or are you just happy to see me?” The Bizarre One, who held the Intercontinental Championship at the time, even disrobed and crawled on his hands and knees behind Conan‘s desk. This was shocking television for the 1990s.

Arsenio Hall was a legendary wrestling interviewer in his own right. His electric sit-down with the Ultimate Warrior was must-see television, and Hall‘s reactions to the Warrior‘s outrageousness was peak comedy.

Hall also had a particularly tense interview with Bad News Brown. The segment was filled with verbal threats and intimidation, but Arsenio got the last laugh when he unexpectedly unleashed a real life snake onto the couch Brown was sitting on. There’s no way that last part was planned!
