In an unforgettable moment that will surely become a highlight of podcast history, FOX News contributor and former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Tyrus was the guest on Janice Dean’s podcast, where he recounted the wild, unexpected journey that led him to become a regular face on television. The story, which is as hilarious as it is heartwarming, centers around an unforgettable moment from 2018 when Greg Gutfeld—host of Gutfeld!—pulled off a prank that would change Tyrus’ life forever.

The legendary troll, which would eventually launch Tyrus into the media spotlight, is a moment that has stayed with the larger-than-life TV personality ever since. In fact, when Tyrus retold the story to Dean during the podcast episode, his infectious laughter and candidness left everyone in stitches. But it wasn’t just about a funny story—it’s about how one prank helped shape Tyrus’ career and prepared him for the unpredictable world of television.

“I’ll never forget it,” Tyrus said, still chuckling at the memory. “Greg set me up with a perfect trolling opportunity. At the time, I had no idea what I was getting into—just a rookie in the media game, barely making a ripple. But Greg… he had this genius idea to pull the ultimate prank on me.”

Janice Dean, who has known Tyrus for years and has often seen his witty and charismatic side on-air, couldn’t help but laugh, admitting, “I was watching that episode in 2018 when you first popped up as a guest on Gutfeld! but I totally blanked on that troll!”

The truth is, she wasn’t alone. Many fans missed the subtle brilliance of that first appearance by Tyrus, who at the time was still a newcomer in the media world, and definitely not the well-established personality he is today. But hearing Tyrus recount the story with his signature humor, it became clear why that moment was so pivotal for his career.

In 2018, Tyrus appeared as a guest on Gutfeld!, not realizing that Greg Gutfeld was about to give him an on-air initiation that would set the course for his future in media. Gutfeld, known for his sharp wit, humor, and no-holds-barred style, was determined to give Tyrus a memorable introduction. He decided to prank him in a way only Gutfeld could—by throwing him into the deep end of the political and media circus without any warning.

As Tyrus recounts, the entire segment was a blur of quick-witted jokes, sharp political commentary, and the kind of fast-paced banter that Gutfeld thrives on. It was an overwhelming introduction to live TV, but somehow, Tyrus handled it with grace. Instead of freezing under pressure, he delivered lines that were just as quick and snappy as the ones Gutfeld had thrown his way.

“And that’s when I realized,” Tyrus said, his voice filled with laughter. “This is how it’s done. I didn’t know what I was walking into, but Greg’s style—his humor, his sharpness—he was testing me, and I had to step up and show that I could roll with the punches.”

What started as a prank quickly turned into an initiation that helped Tyrus earn his place on television. Gutfeld’s “trolling” wasn’t meant to undermine him but to push him to be quick, clever, and ready for anything that live TV could throw at him. And it worked. Tyrus not only passed the test, but he went on to become a regular contributor on Gutfeld! and a much-loved personality on the Fox News network.

Fans who had first seen Tyrus as the larger-than-life, charismatic figure in the wrestling ring were now witnessing his transformation into a media star. Tyrus credits Gutfeld’s unorthodox methods as a big reason why he’s been able to thrive in the television industry. “Greg’s humor is what prepared me for everything. The way he handles people and situations—it’s a true lesson in mastering TV’s unpredictability,” Tyrus explained. “What I learned from him, I’ve carried with me on every appearance since.”

The bond between Tyrus and Greg Gutfeld grew stronger over time, evolving into one of television’s most enjoyable and entertaining partnerships. Their friendship, built on mutual respect and a shared sense of humor, has resonated with Gutfeld! viewers who adore their banter and camaraderie.

Janice Dean, still laughing as Tyrus recounted the hilarious story, reflected on how the experience of that first appearance shaped him. “It wasn’t just a funny moment. It was a defining moment for Tyrus,” she said. “It’s why we see him today with such confidence on-air, tackling every challenge with humor and honesty.”

For Tyrus, the road from professional wrestler to television personality wasn’t an easy one, but with the right guidance and the support of someone like Greg Gutfeld, he was able to make the transition seamlessly. And although he’s now a mainstay on Gutfeld! and other Fox News segments, Tyrus never forgets the moment that launched his media career.

“Gutfeld! is the greatest show on earth. Greg’s razor-sharp wit and bold style were the foundation for everything I’ve done since,” Tyrus concluded. “I owe so much to that first moment.”

As fans continue to cheer for Tyrus, it’s clear that this story of a legendary prank turned into a career-changing moment will remain one of the most memorable tales in television history. And for Tyrus, the future is bright, with plenty more laughs, insights, and unexpected moments awaiting him in the world of TV.
