Al Madril was a staple of Portland wrestling in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and used his talk show Fiesta Garden to enhance his heel persona. Sometimes masked and sometimes not, Madril would use the platform to insult babyfaces such as Jesse Barr and Brian Adams (a/k/a Crush).

In 1998, WCW was preparing for a feud with Tonight Show host Jay Leno. As a result, Eric Bischoff replicated Leno's Tonight Show exact set and had NBC staff fax him the previous night's monologue so that Bischoff could mock the talk show host with his nWo Nightcap segment.

The most famous and influential wrestling talk show of all time is Piper's Pit, the forum for WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to work his magic on the microphone.
