The 12 Days of Fieri: Guy Out of Bounds

While the vast majority of Guy Fieri’s television career has been food focused, sometimes he takes his on-camera work — ahem — totally out of bounds and cruises his muscle-car personality into other realms of entertainment. And on this, the sixth day of The 12 Days of Guy Fieri, it’s time to take a fond look back at Guy’s notable TV and movie cameos.

You know the Mayor of Flavortown is a car obsessive, right? Just look at that sweet ride that appears at the beginning of each Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode. That’s a ’68 Camaro, an original American hot rod. Boasting such a fine automobile, it’s no wonder Fieri received an invite to appear on Jay Leno’s Garage earlier this year. The comedian and former late-night host is an auto enthusiast himself, and these days he spends his time on television chatting and driving with like-minded celebrities. Fieri shocked Leno with a vehicle that was inspired by his supermarket game show, Guy’s Grocery Games: a giant, turbo-charged shopping cart.

Perhaps the most famous show on which Fieri has appeared was The Price Is Right, which was graced with his presence in 2010. (He was not one of the screaming competitors, instead introducing a signature kitchen showcase and a giveaway for a trip to the Bay Area and dinner at Johnny Garlic’s.) Fieri has tested his acting chops in some scripted work as well. He made a brief appearance in 2014’s The Interview, the notorious Seth Rogen-James Franco flick about a television interview with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. And in 2008, the Oakleys aficionado lent his voice to the animated children’s series Phineas and Ferb, playing a character known as “Pizza Guy” in one episode.

YouTube/I Am Evel Knievel

Fieri has also dabbled in the world of documentary films. Last year, he showed up in Red Til I’m Dead: Sammy Hagar’s Rock-N-Roll Birthday Bash, which chronicles the former Van Halen frontman’s 70th birthday party. In I Am Evel Knievel, a 2014 biography of the famous stuntman, Fieri appeared alongside the likes of Matthew McConaughey and Kid Rock to gush about Knievel’s daredevil skills. “The guy knew no boundary,” he says, sporting some very Guy Fieri dirtbike garb in this trailer. “He only knew ‘go big or go home,’ and the dude never went home.”

All of these television and movie spots are nice, but they don’t hold a candle to Fieri’s greatest achievement on screen. In July, Discovery aired his very own Shark Week special. Just look at the explanation from Eater’s previous coverage of the show:

Guy Fieri’s new special for Discovery’s Shark Week begins with the celebrity chef and his son, Hunter, standing on the prow of a ship called the U.S.S. Flavortown with shark-bait bazookas in their hands aimed at the water — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg for this truly gonzo hour of television.

More than Triple D, Guys Grocery Games, or anything else, Guy’s Feeding Frenzy is the most Guy Fieri thing to ever be broadcast on a cable network.

I am just taking everything Vince says with a grain of salt, and not necessarily from beef between him and Mötley Crüe but given statements from his ex wives as well, claiming him to be quite manipulative. But also, Vince himself states he hardly remembers anything or so he claims.

Plus, the timeline is off, unless he just messed up his wording, Sammy Hagar was with Van Halen before Vince went solo but he claims it lined up. But that I may forgive more so than the number of claims against him versus his own statements.

I'm not great with words.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate him, but after reading his biography he just seems a bit more like a manipulative asshole

Also, I do respect his chapter on Skylar, it was handled a lot more tastefully than the rest of the book

I have officially read all the mötley crüe autobiographies and I am.....conflicted.....

[occulturepodcast-blog]

Now streaming wherever podcasts are available: In this episode, a chat with music journalist Joel Selvin, author of “Altamont: The Rolling Stones, the Hell’s Angels and the Inside Story of Rock’s Darkest Day”. - I’m also sure some people are probably like, “Ryan, what the hell does this story have to do with the occult?” And to that I say this: as with anything occult, if you get caught up with the story on the surface, you’ve missed the message completely. - To be fair, though, this doesn’t have anything to do with occult study or philosophy, but this story does have an interesting place in the annals of not just rock music, but also American culture. The Altamont concert is not a forgotten moment, by any means, but I think it does merit some attention because of the time in which it took place and how the hippie movement was viewed afterward. - Joel is a San Francisco-based music critic and author best known for his weekly column in the San Francisco Chronicle, which ran from 1972 to 2009. In addition to his book on Altamont, Joel has penned several books examining the cross-section of music and culture, including “Summer of Love: The Inside Story of LSD, Rock & Roll, Free Love and High Time in the Wild West”, as well as “Peppermint Twist: The Mob, the Music and the Most Famous Dance Club of the 60s”. He’s also authored or co-authored biographies on some notable musicians, including Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Ricky Nelson and Sammy Hagar. - But our focus here is the story surrounding a free concert held at Altamont Speedway in Northern California in December 1969. The Rolling Stones headlined a bill any fan of rock music would loved to have seen, but the day was marred by biker beatdowns, bad drugs and the death of a young black man named Meredith Hunter. - Whether you’ve heard the story before or not, I think you’ll learn a little something from this. It’s a fine chat with one of the premier chroniclers of the San Francisco music scene. #rollingstones #music #altamont #hellsangels #occult #occulture #occulturepodcast #podcast #listen #bookstagram #books

  The first phase of my retirement plan fell into place with a call from an unknown number early this summer. Jellybean is gonna be a movie star. Well, I think the actual term is “featured extra,” but stars don’t fret with labels. That’s the job of their manager, or in this case – me.

I am serving as Jellybean’s manager … also her agent, publicist, assistant, press agent and eventual biographer.

But in my many roles as star-maker, I might have to add one other: World’s Worst Parent. This is a remarkable accomplishment in a business we call show that already includes the nightmarish likes of Kris Jenner, Michael Lohan, and that Mommie screaming about “no wire hangers … EVER!”

Back to the phone call.

I was doing yard work when the phone rang. Normally, I wouldn’t answer calls from unknown numbers, assuming it’s that automated call saying my car’s warranty was about to run out, and since my Kia had 220,000 miles on it, somebody’s scamming me. But I answered this call, because I just knew it was important.

It was destiny calling. (Damn, that’s good. I’ll use that for the biography).

Turns out is was one of Jellybean’s teachers from the Springer Summer Camp she’s attended for the past 4 years or so. There was movie being filmed in Columbus and the director was looking for some kids to serve as “featured extras,” meaning they wouldn’t have lines, but they would have a bit of screen time in which they would be … well … featured.

The first step was to come down to the studio and meet the director and to see what he thought.

“Did I think Abbey would be interested?”

“Totally,” I answered without a second thought.

I didn’t consider asking Jellybean if she wanted to be in a movie ‘cause – Duh? What kid, or hell, what grow-up for that matter, didn’t want to be in a movie?

Soon as I hung up, I texted the Lovely Mother of My Children with the news. Jellybean had been discovered. After the initial excitement wore off, she responded with a series of questions that prove that she is the level-headed one of the bunch:

What was the movie called?

What was it about?

What was Jellybean’s role going to be?

Would she miss school?

Were we supposed to be there?

How would we know if she was safe?

It was at this point that I realized that I hadn’t asked the caller a single question. This was how Linda Blair got cast in The Exorcist, because her parents never bothered to ask the title of the movie. Next thing they knew, their sweet little 5-year-old daughter is getting whiplash from a demon and doing unspeakable things with a crucifix.

Or it could be some trashy film with Showgirls-level nudity (or acting for that matter). But this was just a test, I rationalized. She probably won’t even get the part. Not that my daughter isn’t the most adorable and talented first-time actress the world’s seen since Tatum O’Neal, but Hollywood is a cruel mistress. It’s best not to get one’s hopes up.

She got the part.

It wasn’t until Jellybean’s Lovely Mother and I arrived on set for the casting, that we learned the movie’s title: “Electric Jesus.”

My honest first reaction – Oh, crap! I DO hope it’s not like one of those Left Behind movies, or, worse yet, one of those preachy movies staring Kirk Cameron. But, with a title like “Electric Jesus,” we’re at least safe in assuming it’s not gonna be a Tarantino film, or Kevin Smith cuss-fest. (Full Disclosure: Dogma is one of my favorite movies of all time. Alanis Morisette as God? Genius.)

According to electricjesus.com: “In 1986 hair, metal was king. Bands like Bon Jovi, Poison, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Motley Crüe, and Ratt ruled the airwaves… and spawned a thousand copycat bands and millions of head-banging teenage fans. At the same time, evangelical Christians – in an attempt to distance themselves from the hedonistic subculture of metal and preach the Gospel – promoted a cottage industry of Christian metal bands. 1986 was the peak of this push. While super-group Stryper found fame outside of Evangelical circles, dozens of “white metal” bands thrived within the wholesome Christian youth group culture of sprawling suburban America. ELECTRIC JESUS is about one of those bands.”

Wow. Talk about perfect. I’m a child of hair metal, having once convinced my mother to buy Stryper’s cassette, “To Hell with the Devil,” because they were Christian and “to hell” meant that getting rid of the devil, so that had to be good, right? Granted, I also loved W.A.S.P. and the like, but a 12-year-old will say anything to get his rock-on.

I passed all my love and knowledge of metal on to Jellybean. Fortunately, her Lovely Mother also passed on all of her gifts for talent and stage presence.

Her favorite musical – Rock of Ages.

She’s watched Tommy Lee’s revolving drum solos from the “Girls, Girls, Girls” tour on YouTube.

She can name each member of KISS.

She’s known every word to “Jukebox Hero” since she was 5.

She knows that Van Halen’s had two lead singers (no, I don’t count Gary Cherone), and that David Lee Roth will always be the band’s TRUE frontman though Sammy Hagar was still pretty awesome.

She wears a Def Leppard T-shirt without irony and knows Rick Allen got his arm yanked off in a car wreck but that it didn’t stop him from continuing to be a righteous drummer.

She was the perfect choice to play Katie, the playful little sister to Scotty (Caleb Hoffmann) described as “surfer boy handsome drummer for a small town Christian heavy metal band; bit of a clown, not-too-smart, loves Jesus.”  It also didn’t hurt that Electric Jesus would be staring Brian Baumgartner, AKA Kevin Malone from The Office, Jellybean’s all-time favorite show, which she quotes often and irritatingly.

The first day of shooting came by surprise. I just happened to check my email at like 11 p.m. the night before to discover that she was to be “on set” by 8 a.m. Waking her up that morning to tell her the news, rather than excitement, Jellybean was concerned about missing school.

She got over that quickly.

On set, we soon discovered the true meaning of, “hurry up and wait.” That’s what she and I did. But even that was still pretty cool. She eventually sat in the make-up chair and had her hair professionally done. She got to go to the costume trailer and pick out some clothes to wear, and we got to eat lunch with the whole crew from craft services.

We were also within staring distance of “Kevin from The Office” as I continued to refer to Brian, but couldn’t convince Jellybean to go and ask for a photo. She wouldn’t do it even after I shared one of my life’s greatest regrets: Seeing Kip Winger reading Hit Parader in B. Dalton’s but being too nervous to get his autograph.

“Who’s Kip Winger?” she said. Clearly she missed the point. Turns out Jellybean is way cooler than her dad.

After a few hours she was called back for shooting and I was left to read and wait in the sanctuary of the church where they were shooting. This would be something of a running theme over her entire three days of filming, which was spread over a couple of months.

Jellybean’s Lovely Mother, pulled the shortest straw, however. She and Jellybean spent some eight hours in a stuffy church gym waiting for the weather to clear up, so they could shoot their outdoor scenes.

Just chillin’ while waiting for her call to set.

It never did.

Finally, on the third day – this time I was the one sitting around in a stuffy gym – Jellybean and the other featured child extra, emerged to the sound of applause and shouts of “that’s a wrap for the kids.” That was it. We went home and returned to our lives, just like regular people. Jellybean only begrudgingly told her best friends about it and was really annoyed when they “told everybody.”

My daughter is so grounded. That’ll serve her well as a superstar.

We don’t know exactly when Electric Jesus will hit the theaters, or the Blu-Ray rack, or Netflix/Hulu, but the coolest thing is that Jellybean finally got the nerve to ask Kevin from The Office for a photo (he also said Jellybean looked just like his sister when she was little). He was a very nice guy, just like you’d expect.

Oh, and Jellybean will get paid for her talents. As her manager, I’m only taking 15 percent. Retirement might have to wait, but at least we can afford plastic hangers.

It took some goading, but Jellybean got her photo taken with Kevin from The Office (AKA Brian Baumgartner).

A star is raised The first phase of my retirement plan fell into place with a call from an unknown number early this summer.
