The Guy Fieri Roadshow Is Even Lamer Than We Originally Thought (w/ Video)
Posted on December 7th 2009 by Jillian Madison

(This post is alternatively titled: “You Would Have To Pay ME To Go To The Guy Fieri Roadshow“)

There’s been a lot of talk on the internet about how awful and boring Guy Fieri’s Roadshows have been. Talk is one thing, but actually seeing the hideousness of it with your own eyes is entirely another.

And so for you, dear FNH readers, we submit this: a video clip of Anne Burrell and Guy Fieri desperately trying to engage the audience with an a capella performance of “Friends In Low Places.”

This doesn’t happen often, but I’m honestly…….. speechless.

At least the video showed Guy and Anne at the same time, which put to bed our suspicions that Anne Burrell was really just Guy Fieri coked up and in a muumuu.

The Fieri fun doesn’t stop on stage. Oh no. Just look how much fun they’re having behind the scenes!

OMG! Guy won’t give an interview to someone! He’s soooooo famous, he has to turn interviewers away! Bring on the LULZ!

There are several other videos on Guy’s Youtube channel, all of which provide tons of unintentional laughter. The funniest part? None of them have over 25 (TWENTY FIVE) views, but would you expect anything less from a “rock star” of Fieri’s caliber?

    Oh.My.God.

  2. Dan says:

    I’m embarrased for him. Honestly.

    • Ferd Berfle says:

      He really doesn’t seem to be aware of what a complete and total douchebag he is. I guess that’s sad and embarrassing, but it’s mostly annoying.

  3. Alexis says:

    Not even my grandmother would be amused by that performance. And she’s 90. So bad!

  4. Neo says:

    Irony alert:

    Anne Burrell’s boobs look saggy.

    • Sam says:

      You were checking out Anne Burrell’s boobs? I’m sorry son, but I must revoke your man card. *takes your card* It is my job as a respectable member of the male community to discourage unacceptable male behavior. *tears your card* You will be issued another man card if you can prove to be suitably manly.

      • disgusted says:

        Oh I completely agree with you. (I am a woman, just for the record). I didn’t notice her boobs at all with the jiggling ass and super-awkward dance (?) moves. And what’s with the spatula-mic???

      • Ferd Berfle says:

        It’s the irony alert aspect, Sam, because Anne is accused of telling an employee she had sagging breasts.

      • Sam says:

        I just met with the Man Coalition. It has been decided that in the case of irony men are exempt from the rule against assessing the bosom of Anne Burrel. Beware that gazing for too long, however, is considered a sign of weakness. You are now reinstated as a man.

    • hairball says:

      I thought the same thing

  5. The saddest part is that these are the videos he chose to post on his Youtube account. That means these are probably some of the very best, very funniest moments from the road show.

    Be afraid,, be very afraid!

  6. Syd says:

    He looks bloated and greasy.

  7. Tegan says:

    I think I liked singing along to acapella songs too. When I was 8. At sleep over camp.

  8. Motzi Greps says:

    Freak.Show.

  9. Trini says:

    Where the hell is his neck?

  10. Lana says:

    Jillian, you are a gal after my own heart. I’m goin’ to this thing next week. And I’m going to do the best I can to have a good time, especially for the sake of my gf’s who’re goin’ with me. BTW, I’m hoping you all can help pitch in for the years of therapy it’ll take for me to get over it.

    Been doin’ some research on it … I thought I knew the key players in Guy’s circle of friends. (I actually really like Kleetus – he’s brilliant in that “Being There” kind of way. Really old movie. With Peter Sellers.) But can someone tell me who the doofus is in the yellow cape?

    SuperSlusherMan? Hero of all things margarita?

    • Busta_91 says:

      He’s one of the guys that Dorkwad has had on his show a few times. Guy was at his restaurant on DDD and then he was on Guy’s show a few times. He goes by his nickname which I think starts with an S…Sleaze? Slutbag? Slimeball?

      (I think it’s actually Slash. What a waste of life.)

  11. holy fucking smokes!
    friends in low places indeed. we all knew that though.

    and…how low can you go, anne?
    from mario’s sous chef on iron chef to yer own lame wannabe rockstar show to this? shilling for qweedo ferry?

  12. Dank Dillweed says:

    26 seconds is all I could take. This was worse than an Alcoholics Anonymous karaoke party! Trust me, I know.

    • bon appetit says:

      Dank, I also could only take about 25 seconds. I acutally was laghing so hard my assistant came running into my office to see if I was OK. Cruel person that I am, I then made her watch it. She left the room in tears :)

  13. Thom Stilton says:

    Pretty pathetic. Looks like a real heavy boozer.

  14. byrdie says:

    I’m trying to figure out WHY he’s doing this whole ‘road show’ thing to begin with. He’s NOT a freakin rock star, just a dunder headed douchebag. No talent. Nothing to offer. Just a legend in his own mind and the mind of his handler, the King Of Douche, Bob Doucheman. This entire FN cooking ‘star’ shit is completely out of control. And then, posting video of the bore-fest (or should I say boar-fest)proves ‘move along…nuthin’ to see here’.

    • Dank Dillweed says:

      This reminds me of how local radio personalities have “Live” or “Remote” broadcasts/shows. My afternoon drive guys (Roe Conn, WLS 890) does excellent shows. I also went to a “Mancow” show. Uh, it was painful. Really painful. Really, really painful. He kept trying to “rah-rah” the crowd, yet I think everyone was so stoned or stupid, it didn’t work.

    • byrdie says:

      Damn, Dank, is Mancow still on the air? I’ve been to one radio ‘show’ and it was a waste of time. Talk works on radio but going to see somebody talk is boring. At least listening to the radio you can do other things. But if you go to a live venue, basically all you can do is sit. Dullsville.

  15. Deanna says:

    At least we know now that it’s a “knuckle-sandwich” on the side of those Fieri sunglasses.

  16. Tyler Peel says:

    “Friends” video looks like Larry the Cable Guy meets Deliverance… The “Woody” video gave anything but… Guy looks well greased with hot fat and ready for the oven… set the temp to 500F and go for drive to Europe. *apologies to Larry and the cast of Deliverance for associating them with Guy and Anne.

  17. Freezezzy says:

    I was almost too scared to watch the video (the first one), but then I finally worked up the courage to… and regretted it.

    How lame can you get? I wasn’t even sure there was an audience until they cheered near the end. They had to have planned this, though, because after their “performance”, they started playing the real thing.

    About that second video: was there really someone out there, or was Guy just practicing for the real thing (as if it would actually happen)?

  18. Teague says:

    It’s is so bad it almost makes me want to go.

    As for part two why would you want to post a clip of yourself being a prick to someone.

  19. LeeLee says:

    Are they serious? Okay, I’m speechless too. I know chefs want to be rock stars (or country stars), but they AIN’T! They need to stick to cooking.

  20. Judith says:

    Jillian: Alert! FN has a new “product”. It’s called Guy’s Prep Pack!! It contains 2 squeeze bottles, 1 apron, and a knuckel sandwich sweatband!!! And it is only $36.95!!!

    • 40 bucks for 2 squirt bottles, a sweatband, and an apron? Dear God. That might even be worthy of its own post.

      • martin says:

        I priced out the components separately on Google:

        1. The clear squeeze bottles would cost you $0.70 each
        2. One giid quality black sweatband is $1.60
        3. One good quality black chef’s apron is $4.81

        So for under $7.00 you have have your own “Prep Pack.” Food network is charging you an extra $30.00 for what? A douchebag logo??

      • yeah martin, I figured you could score the whole package at a dollar store and at least double yer score of squeeze bottles for ten bucks or less.

      • Sam says:

        We should order some of that water-slide decal paper for inkjets. Could have a competition to see who can come up with the funniest squeeze bottle logo.

    • Teague says:

      You almost have to say good luck to him if he can find idiots to buy this crap.

  21. sandiasingh says:

    I am in the entertainment business and have unfortunately seen my share of stage disasters. This would be right up there with Alexis Gershwin (of THE Gershwins). Unbelievable that a national network would be promoting this garbage.

  22. Justin says:

    When does Fieri arrive at the cookie swap? And when he does, does he bust through the wall like the Kool-Aid man?

  23. martin says:

    Jillian – you said the alternate title to this post is: “You Would Have To Pay ME To Go To The Guy Fieri Roadshow.“ However, I think a better title would be: “You COULDN’T PAY ME ENOUGH To Go To The Guy Fieri Roadshow!” Anyway, that’s my opinion… :)

  24. MommaB says:

    who is that drunk slut with the saggy boobs on stage?

  25. oh_come_on says:

    @Judith & Jillian, – here’s a Guy fan/Toucheman dream, cut/pasted from FN’s site. If his show is as revolting as this short excerpt, FN should torch his bus, with him IN it.

    We Love Guy!
    Would purchase again
    by Dianne (Spotswood, NJ) 1 review(s) 11/2/2009

    My Son Jackson and I love to watch anything that Guy Fieri is doing! His triple D adventures keep us laughing and excited to see where he will turn up next. Wtching such a cool guy cook has helped Jackson to take more of an interest in something that he loves to do and being able to use Guy’s personally endorsed products make it even more fun. Keep the Guy Fieri products coming!!!!

  26. Freezezzy says:

    I just checked out that article that you linked to (don’t know why I didn’t notice that before), read it, and… I don’t know whether to feel ashamed, or just laugh.

    I spotted something on the right-hand side of the page that just made me go WTF?

    http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/11/cookin-with-coolio-by-the-numbers/?so=f-s

    A cookbook… with Coolio?

    I don’t know which is worse: a chef who thinks he’s a rockstar, or a rapper acting like a chef.

    The part about the units of measurement used in the book gets me. Dime bag, nickel bag, aren’t those drug-related terms? Should those kinds of things even be in a cookbook?

    Shoot me now.

  27. Andrew says:

    Shut up Jilian we all know you are secretly in love with him!

  28. stretch?
    ironically he’s a dwarf. and exactly the kinda tool i’d expect ferry to pal around with.

  29. Jen says:

    Barf. In the “Guy Rides a Segway” video, he has this jacket that says on the back of it:

    KULINARY
    GANGSTA
    GUIDO

    What a tool.
    Oh, and Anne and Idiot must dip their heads into the same vat of bleach.

  30. Vince says:

    I want the last minute and 23 seconds of my life back. Now.

    I always just assumed that Anne is a failed clone of Guy Fieri and I’ve always been calling her Girl Fieri. Thanks for giving it a name, FNH!

  31. DesignerJeans says:

    He’s such a Douchebag.

    (for google index sake.)

  32. Di says:

    I saw Stretch on two of Guy’s shows and he’s like Guy’s mini-me. No wonder he took him along on tour. And Anne, I guess, because she resembles him, as well?

    But Guy pisses me off mostly because I used to like him, even thought he was funny. But his antics stopped being amusing LONG ago. He needs to give it all a rest, like right NOW.
    But I guess he won’t, as long as people keep buying his crappy over-priced products, and laughing at his same old stupid jokes :(

  33. Scott says:

    I know this is kind of dark but I think Fieddie has convinced himself that he’s that great just so he won’t put a bullet in between his teeth.

  34. Glock says:

    Hmmm. They did not post my comment to the youtube video. Wonder why?

  35. It wasn’t until now that I truly view Guy as a douche .. I mean my boyfriend can’t stand him and I can really see why now.. ugh!

    Watching Anne dance to that horrible song is what hell must be like ..

  36. Jimmy Johnson says:

    Why pay for that shtick when you go to his bar and get it for free? You’d think Guy would have that song nailed after singing it 10,000 times.

  37. Turtle says:

    I actually like his show DDD, but more for the the local food and watching the people prepare it, than for him. I think his other show with him making food is gross as he wears all those rings. I wonder if he took them off how much old meat he’d find in them.
