Guy Fieri one of America’s favorite chef’s and television personalities is an open book. When I asked him what people would be surprised to know about him Guy said, “Ya know, not much. There’s the sensitivity thing about me, they know I’m emotional and I love my family. I tell them I love them all the time.”  That would include his wife of many years, two sons, his folks and I think a sister too. Guy is the real deal what you see is what you get especially when you see him hosting hot game show “Minute to Win It” which is back for a 3 week and 3 million dollar payoff up for grabs. Guy told me even though he loves dirt bikes and sports and is full of tats and we can’t forget that wild hair, he’s actually not that wild after all. What he is wild about though is ‘Minute to Win It’, loves the intensity of hosting along with the emotion of the contestants, and wants someone to win the big bucks by 2011. NBC’s ‘Minute to Win It” returns with three special holiday themed episodes Tuesday, December 7, 14 & 21 from 8-9p ET, and returns after the new year back to Wednesday’s at 8pm ET. Anyone good at these household item challenges and interested in a chance to get on the show, open casting calls are taking place this month in Detroit, New York and Miami.
