Aside from his wrestling, Colton is arguably best known as the host of the Art of Wrestling podcast. Begun in 2010, the show features Colton interviewing wrestlers, out of character, about their career.
Colton, along with CM Punk, is mentioned in alternative rapper Kidd Russell's single "I'll Do One". Russell also performed the "Copa Cabana" remix that Colton used as entrance music for his Colt Cabana persona.
In December 2010, Colt appeared as "The Bomb" alongside Glenn "Disco Inferno" Gilbertti's character "Joey Mayhem" collectively known as "The Goon Squad" on a spec TV pilot entitled, Ghost Trek: The Kinsey Report. The pilot won "Best Comedy" at the Fright Night Film Fest on July 24, 2011, but has not been picked up by any network.
In 2011, as Colt Cabana, Colton toured the United States doing standup comedy alongside fellow wrestler Mick Foley. He also performs improv comedy, mostly in the Chicago area, with his comedy troupe "Keyfabe" (a play on the term "kayfabe"). Since June 2011, he and Chicago comedian Marty DeRosa have been writing and starring in Creative Has Nothing For You a YouTube show mocking the relationship between wrestlers and wrestling writers. The show is directed and edited by Chicago filmmaker Michael Sanchez of Life Jazz Films.
Colton also appeared in Morgan Spurlock's documentary Mansome, helping Shawn Daivari shave.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
