The 10 Best WWE Superstar Appearances in TV Shows 

Goldbergs
There's a long history of wrestlers appearing on TV shows--and some recent cases, too.

#1 The Rock on Saturday Night Live

Rock SNL
The Rock's first time hosting SNL was a big success.

The Rock has become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and has now guest-hosted Saturday Night Live multiple times. In 2000, though, he got his first shot at the gig, and was cast not based on his work as an actor, but firmly because of his place as WWE’s top star.

Just two weeks ahead of challenging Triple H for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 2000, The Great One dazzled viewers in that first SNL appearance.

That he got booked at all was a testament to WWE’s popularity peaking at that point in time, and Rock’s gift for gab convincing the show to take a chance on him.

The fact that The People’s Champion thrived in the role was a terrific look for WWE, and arguably a springboard for Rock’s acting career that would take off in earnest over the years to follow.
