Recognizing his microphone skills, Roberts was given his own talk segment called "The Snake Pit", which debuted on the first episode of "WWF Wrestling Challenge" in late 1986. "The Snake Pit" was patterned after "Piper's Pit", wherein Roberts would conduct interviews with wrestlers or managers to help push wrestlers and get feuds over with the crowd. The segment was eventually moved to "WWF Superstars of Wrestling" (to replace "Piper's Pit" after Roddy Piper's retirement following WrestleMania III) until the final segment aired in July 1987.
