Above Average’s ‘7 Minutes In Heaven’ Returns To The Web With Guest John Cena

Above Average is bringing back one of its original series after a three-year hiatus. The comedy video network from Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video has re-launched the web series 7 Minutes in Heaven, and the celebrity talk show’s first guest is WWE star John Cena.

In the newest episode of 7 Minutes in Heaven, host Mike O’Brien invites Cena to hang out with him in his cramped closet to talk about the wrestler’s life and career (but not, surprisingly, about his popular internet meme). The two men address Cena’s failure at his limo driving job in his younger days, as well as the smell of fellow wrestler Big Show. Then, as is tradition in 7 Minutes in Heaven, O’Brien takes inspiration from the titular teen party game and goes in for a kiss, which Cena reciprocates with a more European version.

Above Average originally launched 7 Minutes in Heaven back in 2011 with episodes running about four-and-a-half minutes long, despite the series’ title. In the first season, O’Brien interviewed comedian Kristen Wiig, actor Elijah Wood, and Bravo’s Andy Cohen before trying to land a good kiss with each guest. 7 Minutes in Heaven, which is produced by Saturday Night Live associate producer Erin Doyle, ran for two years before halting production in May 2013.

O’Brien’s next guest for the newest season of 7 Minutes in Heaven will be comedian Will Ferrell. The returning three-episode web series will be available on AboveAverage.com and the brand’s accompanying YouTube channel in the next few weeks.
