In 2011, actor Jonah Hill was set to be one of the celebrity guest hosts on WWE RAW but his appearance ended up being canceled. During his podcast, Mick Foley explained what happened…

“He’s not a wrestling fan. There was a reason why Jonah Hill was advertised as the guest GM and it never aired. The guys hated working with him. There were some like Hugh Jackman … The Muppets, they loved it. Almost everyone was a good experience. Jonah Hill was one that didn’t even make the air because he apparently just didn’t want to be there and it showed. I think somebody saw him mouthing to his agent, ‘Get me out of here.’” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)

“Road Dogg” Brian James also commented on Hill during a podcast in September of 2022…

“I’ll give you an example of a real crappy interaction with a celebrity: Jonah Hill. Jonah Hill, yes, came to promote something at Madison Square Garden and they ended up getting hot at him. I think it was ‘Monday Night Raw’ and Jonah Hill was supposed to be there to promote something. I don’t know if there was creative differences, I just know a lot of people talked bad about him after [his appearance on the show] didn’t happen.” (quote courtesy of Sportskeeda.com)
