Key Insights

Why did Kenny Mayne choose to make a documentary about Wiffle Ball?

Mayne's documentary on Wiffle Ball stems from a personal experience in 1989 when he and Ken Griffey Jr. played a game. He has held onto the memory and the tape for 35 years, believing he beat Griffey by one mile per hour. The documentary is a journey to discover the truth about that day and his claim.

What was Kenny Mayne's experience like on Dancing with the Stars?

Mayne participated in Dancing with the Stars for the money, not for the dancing. He was one of the worst dancers but not the worst that season. He describes his dancing as subtle and nuanced, things that wouldn't be understood for decades. He was voted off early because he had no following, unlike other contestants like Master P.

How does Kenny Mayne view his own career in sports media?

Mayne sees himself as a jester who watches sports with a wink, cleverly disguising his intelligence. He has carved out a unique lane in sports media by making eccentric content that no one else was making, earning him the label of a 'delightful weirdo'.

What does Kenny Mayne think about the current state of America?

Mayne expresses surprise and disappointment with the current state of America, hoping that the new administration will do less damage than he expects. He avoids making direct statements about it, preferring to focus on escapism like his Wiffle Ball documentary.

What is Kenny Mayne's opinion on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight?

Mayne believes the fight will do bigger numbers than Tom Brady's roast on Netflix due to the wide appeal of both Tyson and Paul. He sees it as a spectacle that caters to those who want to see Paul get punched hard and those curious about Tyson's capabilities at 58. He also notes that Tyson's health issues during training camp add to the uncertainty.
