  • Famously the Sony email hacks uncovered an email from him to Jonah Hill about 22 Jump Street setting records at the Box Office. The email read "In your face Ted" and had a series of "ha-ha"s that went down for quite a while. According to Channing, he hit the H and A for a while until he realised he could copy and paste.
  • The male stripping world is not without its hazing. Channing's Paying Your Dues was to have a boy scout costume - and strip to "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh".
    • Apparently his sister came on the first night in an attempt to shame him out of it. This became the sequence in Magic Mike where Brooke sees Adam stripping.
  • Despite being the third wheel in the famous Jonah Hill, Julie Andrews Ship Tease he still provided a couple when on The Graham Norton Show:
    • When Julie Andrews is talking about going topless in S.O.B., Channing remarks "beautiful movie". Jonah says "he's seen it ten times" and Channing collapses with laughter.
    • Julie then compares nude scenes with him, assuring him that coldness in the studio is just as bad for females.
    Julie: Goosebumps don't look particularly good on camera, do they?
    Channing: (Luminescent Blush) I guess not.

    Channing: I can't believe I'm having this conversation.
  • His lip sync battle needs to be seen to be believed. Highlights include:
    • Singing "Let It Go" in full Elsa costume.
    • Coming out dressed as Beyonce, only for the real one to come out and sing along with him. Apparently he had planned to get permission to use a cardboard cut-out as a prop - but the lady herself offered to appear.
    • Worth noting at this point is he's up against his Real Life wife Jenna Dewan Tatum, who deliberately drags him back on her stage to work it all over him as part of her Magic Mike homage.
  • An interview with autistic talk show host Carly Fleischmann is a mixture of this and Heartwarming Moments:
    • Carly announces "soon, he will dump his wife to be with me", prompting him to collapse in hysterical giggles. She only exacerbates them by saying "I've got my lawyers working on your divorce papers now."
    • She asks how many girls took him home at the end of one night in his stripping days.
    "How many at the end of one night?"
    • Out of a choice between drinking contest with Temple Grandon or getting drunk with Obama, he picks Obama.
    "you just feel like he'd be a rad hang"
    • He's instructed to open a box "of his greatest fears". It turns out to be a Creepy Doll, which gets a bit of a scream.
  • A reddit AMA ended up producing gold.
    • His penis is apparently named 'Gilbert'.
    • On how he would survive a zombie apocalypse? Go to Sandra Bullock's house because "she's dope and kicks ass".
    • Someone asks "for a friend" if he goes full frontal in Magic Mike. He responds no, but leaves very little to the imagination "in a very small thong. Your 'friend' should be happy."
    • On who he'd rather fight: a John Stamos-sized Danny Devito or a Danny Devito sized John Stamos. They're both naked.
    "Can't I just fight Danny Devito? I assume we're going to have sex afterwards if we're both naked."
    • If he ever gets lost looking into Matt Bomer's eyes.
    "Absofuckinglutely. No matter if you're a man, woman, cat, hamster, you will get lost in matt bomer's eyes. I don't know what they are made of outside of dreams and rainbows and amazingness but it truly doesn't matter."
    • Asked who would win in a fight between him and Joe Manganiello.
    "The light would probably bounce off his pectoral muscles and blind me."
