The setup

With Thanksgiving a week away, a hopped-up Guy Fieri crashes the Weekend Update desk with full-throttle holiday recipes that all seem to involve far too much alcohol, to the growing alarm of Seth Meyers.

Highly quotable.

I'd eat this off a moving truck tire.

Love, peace, and pimple grease!

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Seth Meyers introduces the Food Network's Guy Fieri to share Thanksgiving cooking tips, and the spiky-haired chef arrives already wound up, joking that Seth sets fires and slinging made-up slang in place of ordinary sentences. His full-throttle stuffing is pancake chunks, a candy apple on a stick and raisins swimming in tequila-infused garlic butter, which Seth politely refuses to taste. The cranberry sauce is squirted straight from the can into a bottle of peppermint schnapps, and the main course is a turkey stuffed with a duck, a chicken, a rabbit, a pig, a calf, a cow and a horse, all packed into a Cornish game hen and fried in Jagermeister. Seth keeps pointing out that every dish is soaked in liquor while Fieri admits he has had plenty tonight himself, then signs off with a rhyming sendoff that Seth finds forced.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
