Despite being born in Manhasset, New York, which is on Long Island, (his father, Ted Irvine, played pro NHL hockey for the New York Rangers in the early 70s, and Chris was born during his tenure with the Rangers while living in Manhasset, which is a prominent north shore Long Island neighborhood), Jericho is a proud Canadian, having been raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He also mentioned that he was pulling for Canada when Canada played the United States in the 2002 Olympic gold medal hockey game. In fact, Vince McMahon felt that by introducing him as "born in Manhasset, New York", American fans would be more likely to get behind him (the same occurred to Chris Benoit when they started introducing him as "now residing in Atlanta, Georgia"). He shares dual citizenship with both Canada and the United States.

Jericho was inducted into the Canadian Wrestling Hall of Fame on September 25, 1997. On July 5, 2004, Jericho was awarded The Order of the Buffalo Hunt in a ceremony held in Manitoba for his achievements in wrestling and his continual commitment to working with underprivileged children. The award has previously been given to Pope John Paul II, Chicago mayor Richard Daley, Desmond Tutu, and Mother Teresa.

Chris attended his good friend Eddie Guerrero`s funeral along with Chris Benoit and other wrestling personalities. The day after Guerrero`s death, Jericho was interviewed on WWE`s official website where Jericho said that Eddie was like a brother to him and talked about the time they shared together along with Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko.

Besides being a professional wrestler, Jericho has a degree in journalism and is the frontman of the heavy metal group Fozzy, and appeared on the Iron Maiden tribute CD Numbers from the Beast, where he provided the vocals for The Evil That Men Do.
