Chris Jericho, Laila Ali, “Big Bang Theory” Stars Set For “Drop The Mic” (Update)

Update: The 1iota ticketing website has removed Chris Jericho, Laila Ali, Mayim Bialik and Kunal Nayyar’s names from the listing for today’s “Drop The Mic” taping.

It is unclear why they were removed, but as no replacements have been announced, it is possible TBS simply did not want word of the celebrity participants getting out early.
