Mario Batali dropped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to promote his new book, Molto Batali, and Fallon hid the chef/The Chew host behind a curtain for most of the show where he cooked a four-course meal.
So what happens when the late night talk show host, his cohort Steve Higgins, Batali and comedian Tracy Morgan sit down for dinner? The Chew promotion (Batali), prop comedy (Higgins), general insanity (Morgan), and fits of giggles (Fallon). The whole family togetherness theme of the meal sort of falls apart when Morgan drops the bomb that Newt Gingrich is his biological father (sure, why not) and everyone starts yelling, so Fallon tells the audience he hopes "everyone's going to keep quiet and have the best Thanksgiving ever."
