Trivia / MJF

• The Cast Showoff: The infamous "Le Dinner Debonair" segment was essentially an excuse to let MJF show off the fact that he was a high-level choir tenor in his youth.
• Corpsing: During his classic promo segment with William Regal, Regal has a line calling out MJF's use of the Dynamite Diamond Ring as a weapon quoted below that nearly cracked MJF up. You can see him look away and stick his tongue into his lower lip to keep himself from smiling in the middle of being run down.
  "I didn't need a ring to knock people out; when I used these — (shows brass knuckles in his pocket) — it's because I just like hitting people with them!"
• He Also Did: In 2001, when he was around five, Friedman appeared on an episode of The Rosie O'Donnell Show, singing "You Are My Sunshine" after his parents submitted a tape of him singing it. After a video of his performance resurfaced in 2019, Friedman (in character) initially denied the appearance before admitting it, stating that Rosie O'Donnell was trying to cling onto her fading star and that he "didn't have the nerve" to tell Britney Spears (who appeared on the same episode) that she "wasn't going to make it as a singer."
• What Could Have Been: He auditioned for Season 6 of WWE Tough Enough, with his audition tape even being uploaded to WWE's YouTube channel. He interestingly gives his last name as "Feinstein" in the promo; he would quickly settle for using his real last name, "Friedman", instead.
