The Miz recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly; you can read a few highlights below:
The Miz comments on his reality TV background hurting him when he first broke into wrestling:
“No one respected you, no one liked you, no one wanted you. You were like the red-headed stepchild. So that’s the way I’ve always felt as a reality star,” he says. “Now, I love being on MTV, I loved being on The Real World, the challenges, and all that stuff, but the way I guess I was perceived [was that] I have no talent.”
The Miz on the goal of Miz And Mrs:
“We don’t want to reinvent the wheel, we just want to make a shiny new wheel that people can look at and go, ‘Wow, this is something special, this is something nice.’What we set out to do was make this show [so that] when you watch it you don’t literally look at it and go, ‘Oh that was fake’ or ‘That was real.’ You watch it like you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, like you watch The Office, like you watch Modern Family. You watch it, you get enthralled by the characters, you follow the stories, and you just enjoy the show. … We made a 30-minute comedy and it’s things that people can relate to and I think that’s what’s gonna set us apart from everybody else.”
Miz and Mrs premieres Tuesday, July 24 at 10 p.m. ET on USA.
