Guy Fieri Hosting NBC Game Show [Kill Your Televisions]
 |
According to The Wrap, NBC just signed GUY FERRY to host a new(ish) game show called “Perfect 10.” And (and!) he’s even going to be holding auditions after his lame Road Show in Los Angeles tonight. The horror!
Paul Telegdy, NBC’s head of Reality Programming, is quoted as saying “Guy’s enthusiasm is infectious.” (Yeah, I have a feeling that’s not all that’s infectious). “He’s a true gamer at heart and his excitement for this show will inspire both the competitors and viewers at home to join in on the fun.”
Wrong, Paul. His presence will not inspire people to join in on the fun. It will inspire them to watch FOX.
Apparently, Perfect 10 is a blatant rip-off of an older game show called The Cube (video footage of it can be found at YouTube here). Basically, people stand around trying to complete random tasks with household objects, for a chance to win $1 million. But look, unless the “random tasks” include the contestants taking Guy Fieri out clothes shopping at a grown-up’s store, I don’t want to hear about it.
The show is allegedly supposed to air later this season, so hang in there and we’ll bring you more news as soon as it becomes available.
[Thanks for the tip, Dante!]

NO. FRICKING. WAY.
Does this mean that we should load up the bomb shelters and prepare for… the end?
Yep! ARMAGEDDON!
We’ve hit bottom and have started to dig. Cripe.
Now see this is nuts. Unless you watch FN you have no idea who Guy is. I have even asked people at work questions about chefs on FN/ There are some lucky people who have no idea who Paula dean is, Must be nice. I just do not see this catching. People will tune in and say. OMG where did they get this douche bag from. What a freaking idot, he wears glasses on back of his head
He dries his hair out of a car window, too.
“…Unless you watch FN you have no idea who Guy is.”

Excuse me, and I am no defender of the FN, but they are the 90th most visited website! That’s HUGE traffic, and his mug is all over that site (along with VIVA).
hey are you Bob T? LOL
Huge traffic doesn’t mean shit! What ever happened to content? Look how big John and Kate got due to the media sensationalizing their traffic. Seriously, if you think traffic merits accomplishment than go play in it!

Ugh… I can see there will be no escaping this greasy, walking pustule for a good while. Here’s to hoping that his “game show” tanks big time in the ratings whenever it starts up.
Actually I hope he does great on there and leaves FN!!!!!!!!That would be awesome. I do not watch game shows
Seriously — does this mean Heir Tush has cut Guy loose?
NOPE! TICKTURDMAN is in love with !!!!!!!!!
Tushface will get a cut of what Guy makes. I’m sure it’s in Ferry’s contract that anything he does FN get a percentage.
His enthusiasm and constant need to use the noun money as an adjective inspires me to throw my remote at the television. How did this Guy…no pun intended…manage to rise out of the trailer park and make it onto network television??? I’d rather watch a show hosted by the Balloon Boy than anything with this douche bag.
Three words:
Un
Fucking
Believable.
Three more.
Guy Ferry is a douchebag.
Oh wait. That’s five but he’s such a douche it does not matter.
Seems like Guy Fieri is a “hot” property: His immolation would save the nation.
This is why NBC is last in the ratings. Looks doubtful that that will change any time soon.
Guy Smiley would be much much better.
Random thing that irks me about Guy: OK, he didn’t want his last name to sound like “Fairy”, I’ll give him that. But why couldn’t he just stop at “Fee-air-ee”, which is how his chosen spelling looks like it’s pronounced? Why does he pronounce it “Fee-ett-ee?” That move was pretentious and over the top.
he’s rolling his r’s
I know. And it sounds pretentious.
Mikey, yeah. But if you’re like me and CAN’T roll your r’s, you use an American r. Obviously, Fieddi can’t either – He says “midden” instead of mirin.
I gave up on the alveolar trill (sp?) about 40 years ago. Am kinda thinkin’ Guy shoulda done the same.
Use of the word “gamer” fail.
Yet another dose of ‘The Dumbing Down of America’
Who’s taking the over/under bets on whether he has more shows than Emeril did.
I’m praying for under. ;-)
I wonder if this means those Guy Fieri appearances on SNL will stop…or increase exponentially.
oh he’s proud of those and I don’t guess I blame him for that. his p.o.s. roadshow is in town this weekend (tonight?) and the paper had an interview w/ him. he’d also love to host snl, a childhood dream I believe he called it. I’d go to his stoop-it show if I got tix for free. $40? no fucking way.
Game
Gamer
Gamiest
Seriously though, if you take away his eccentric look and boisterous personality, he’s actually not that good on screen.
And luckily for us NBC has decided to share his lack of talent with the rest of the country.
He comes across as kind of a slob. Eats like a pig.
It’s a good thing Comcast is buying NBC or else I’d have to sell my GE stock!
Uh, yeah. Because GE/NBC hiring Fieri is SO much worse than them selling items to IRAN, who has made it clear, they want to remove Israel from the map.
I’m right behind you Dank!
Dank, agreed. Unless Israel removes them first.
Head on over to CNN.COM and under the title of entertainment is an article about food network. There are actually people who like this tool. They like him and the Neeley’s. What is wrong with people. “I’m so in love with Guy and the Neeley’s”, give me a freakin break. Or better yet, they need to get a life.
It’s a ratings game my friends. Most of us watch it like a freakin train wreck. Can’t look away!
That picture of Guy always makes me laugh and shudder at the same time.
You just know it’s going to be awful. Maybe this finally will put to death Ferry’s TV career.
I miss Supermarket Sweep. :(
Does anyone else think that Guy’s looking a little more haggard every time we see his slimy mug? He looks terrible—revolting on so many levels.
NO!!! No, No No.

The guy is unbelievably annoying. If I spent more than 10 minutes around him I’d probably end up punching him in the face.
For those with nothing but negative comments I think you should reevaluate your own life. He’s truly a kind, generous, gifted entertainer – I’ve worked with him in the past – and before you say such hurtful and untrue statements, take a look at yourself and your inexcusible need to tear others down for your own satisfaction. Don’t watch the show if you don’t like him, but to take the time to write some of this stuff is distasteful and pathetic!
It’s a humor site. People make jokes, sometimes you’ll find them funny, sometimes you won’t. One thing that’s ALWAYS true; no one will ever care that you know Guy Fieri and he’s such a super guy that we should be nice!
A better suggestion than trying to get the general public to NOT make fun of a celebrity would be to not read a humor site devoted to the station that celebrity works for. You may find it mean, petty, distasteful, but it’s all meant to be funny, to make people laugh, probably the same idea that this wonderful human being you’re defending has with this shitty show–Oh wait, no. He just wants money.

Well this Guy [no pun ok...] is on a roll! Looks like his career has taken off like Rachel Ray. It seems like, cooking stupid food can get you ahead in life! Who would have thought? There is no excuse for NBC to keep him sporting that spiked bleached haired “Surfer” look though. It is so lame and outdated. Don’t they know, it didn’t work for Drew Carey? Please! Please! Restyle him!!!!! Maybe he could take a few tips from fellow FN show host, Sunny Anderson and throw a few wigs in the mix. Now that’s an idea!
Talk about over enunciating! Ever notice how he pronounces his fake name FI ERRRRRRRRRRI? Its as if he’s trying to amp up his Italian.
Guy fieri sucks as a host.Plain and simple.
