Joe Manganiello’s Funny Story About Hulk Hogan Trying to Pronounce His Name

On The Late Late Show With James Corden, special guest Joe Manganiello shared the story about how he and Hulk Hogan became friends. Manganiello may not have the easiest last name to pronounce, but after three attempts to learn the proper pronunciation, Hogan butchered it on live television — in front of tens of thousands of people and countless viewers. Manganiello expressed how embarrassed he felt initially. But then miraculously, Hogan redeemed himself. The former world champion wrestler interrupted the reporter who was interviewing him and said, “I don’t care what anyone calls him — from now on he’s Joe Mania.”

The Late Late Show with James Corden airs weeknights at 12:37 am.
