Watch Jimmy Fallon Make Fun of How Giada De Laurentiis Pronounces Italian Words

Food networkperson Giada De Laurentiis stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote her new Las Vegas restaurant Giada. She first plays a strange round of Catch Phrase with host Jimmy Fallon where she squeals and squawks and over-enunciates "spaghetti," which Fallon is quick to point out again.

After the game De Laurentiis proclaims she "needs a drink" and demonstrates how to make veal saltimbocca and a cocktail called "Conan the Destroyer." She then over-pronounces tequila and Fallon loses no time in teasing her: "Why do you say teh-quii-laa? You're not Spanish." Fallon then pokes fun at the menu at her new restaurant, which has a pronunciation guide. Finally, the host gets De Laurentiis to correct the way he says everything from bucatini to ravioli. Go, watch:
