Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho appeared on the FOX News Channel's "Red Eye" program at 3:00 a.m. this morning to discuss the premiere of his "Redemption Song" reality show, which debuts tonight at 11:00 p.m. EST on Fuse. The show is about eleven washed-up female singers getting another chance at becoming music stars. The description of the show reads: "Sometimes good girls make bad choices. For these 11 women, their bad attitudes, hard-partying ways, and troublemaking pasts have delayed their dreams of success. Now these talented singers are competing to overcome their personal demons, win a recording deal with Fuse/Geffen Records, and achieve music stardom on "Redemption Song." Jericho said the contestants consist of "party girls, strippers, and drug addicts," but this is there chance for them to be more than they are. Jericho said most of them have talent, but have no way to channel it. He said take them out of the bars, off the streets, and give them a chance at redemption. Host Greg Gutfeld asked Jericho whether there's more drug use among this group of contestants than in professional wrestling. "I would think so at this point in time," Jericho said. "We're so strictly tested now. If you have a cold, you can't take Nyquil because you'll be busted. Take all the fun out if it!"
