In 2009, Guy hit the road to shoot the "Guy Fieri Roadshow", a national rock-n-roll tour that also featured other Food Network celebritrites.

Guy's career continued to expand when NBC picked him to host their new game show, "Minute to Win It", which gives contestants a chance to do stunts that could earn them up to $1 million.

These days you can catch him in TGI Friday commercials talking about their newest deals. Guy currently lives in Santa Rosa, CA with his wife Lori and sons Hunter and Ryder.
