And no, Guy Fieri is not a chef.

    Loved that rant! I completely agree, each time we forgive dumb things because they went viral we all become a tiny bit stupider ourselves.

    Well, yes, but the greatest irony is to host it on Deadspin, home of knucklewalking armchair quarterbacks who think they’re fucking Tom Brady.

    I didn’t dare to criticize a football site, people can be quite sensitive when you pick on their religion ;)

    I didn’t know who Guy Fieri was until I heard about the scathing review on Twitter. The guy looks like a walking parody already, so it’s hard to imagine how much further SNL could have taken it (can’t access the video clip in Spain).

    Couldn’t read any of the football stuff.

    Guy Fieri is just what he appears to be: a bro-tastic glutton. He’s actually not a bad host; he constantly makes interjections like, “And you grill it first so it gives that nice flavor when you put it in the broth, right?” etc that many hosts don’t do. He’s just irritating because he has such lowbrow taste and the food network puts on like eight of his shows in a row. Believe me, one is sufficient.
