-	There have been many commentators in the history of ''Heat''. Industry veterans and ''Raw'' broadcasters [[Jim Ross]] and [[Jerry Lawler]] have done commentary on the show. The show was also the launchpad for [[Shane McMahon]]'s on-camera career in WWE, originally placed in the role of a commentator for the program. In October 2000, the show was hosted by [[Rebecca Budig]] and MTV VJ/Rapper [[DJ Skribble]] when it moved from USA Network to MTV.
-
-	Often wrestlers would take the role of color commentators on the show with [[Al Snow]], [[Tommy Dreamer]], [[Raven (wrestler)|Raven]], and [[D'Lo Brown]] all holding this position mostly as a replacement for an announcer who was unavailable. During the show's run on MTV, [[WWE Diva|Diva]] Lita also served as a commentator following her major neck injury.
-
-	Before the WWE-produced [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] reunion pay-per-view [[ECW One Night Stand (2005)|One Night Stand 2005]] took place, a special ''Extreme Heat'' episode was broadcast and hosted by [[Jonathan Coachman]] and [[Michael Cole (wrestling)|Michael Cole]].
-
-	During one episode when Jonathan Coachman was unavailable, former ECW announcer (and then-lead ''Raw'' announcer) [[Joey Styles]] took part in the show. Styles then quit in [[Kayfabe|storyline]], however, on the following Monday's' ''Raw'', meaning Grisham ran the show alone.
-
-	Shortly before being canceled, in March 2008 [[Todd Grisham]] and [[Josh Mathews]] were doing commentary during a match on ''Heat'' between [[Gene Snitsky|Snitsky]] and [[Sean Morley|Val Venis]] when Matthews mentioned that a "former" WWE wrestler by the name of [[Kane (wrestler)|Issac Yankem DDS]] would match up well against Snitsky. Grisham then made a comment that Yankem resembles [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]] and suggesting that they might be brothers, thus breaking [[kayfabe]] by outing Glenn Jacobs as the man who portrayed Yankem before his more famous gimmick as the younger brother to [[The Undertaker]]. Although the commentary was edited out before being uploaded to WWE.com for the United States market, WWE still sent the original, unedited version overseas before it was noticed by company executives. Grisham was reprimanded for the incident.
