Danny from ‘Claim to Fame’ and Jelly Roll. Disney/Erica Hernandez; Ayisha Collins/FilmMagic Claim to Fame season 3 contestant Danny (whose real name is Nael Zayas ) is Marc Anthony ’s nephew, but some of his competitors suspected he might be related to Jelly Roll . “It’s flattering.
And it’s funny because Jelly Roll just had a collaboration with WWE, so it made it look even more [fitting],” Danny, who posed as the relative of a celebrity wrestler on the reality series, exclusively told Us Weekly after his Wednesday, August 14, elimination. “I thought it was actually hilarious because that’s exactly what I was trying to go for. I was trying to go for a Dusty Rhodes type with the mullet.
I was trying to really throw people off with the attitude I was bringing. I even changed my voice a little bit.” Danny stayed calm when asked whether he’s related to a country singer during a July episode where contestants had to answer questions while a polygraph machine measured their breathing and heart rates.
“Don’t pay attention to the heart monitor, I’m just fat,” he quipped. Danny’s fellow contestant Shane explained the reasoning behind the country singer question in a confessional. “My immediate go-to is Jelly Roll,” he said, noting that there was a jar of grape jelly on the clue wall.
Danny’s competitors never got a chance to test their Jelly Roll theory because he was eliminated after incorrectly guessing that Mackenzie is related to Blake Shelton.
