Guy Fieri Speaks On New Contract
The “Tournament of Champions” star spoke out on his new contract with Food Network, explaining how much this contract means to him.
“For nearly two decades, Food Network has been my home, and continuing to create great TV within the Warner Bros. Discovery universe is exactly where I want to be,” he said, adding, “Food is our most universal language so being able to unite people through highlighting chefs, restaurateurs and the folks dishing out incredible meals all over this country and world is a privilege and responsibility that I don’t take lightly.”
“I don’t want to do things to make money,” he previously stated on his success. “I want to do things to make it great.”
This news comes after Fieri announced his new line of malt beverages called Flavortown Spiked. The first flavor to launch the brand is a hard fruit punch, which Fieri describes as “adult Kool-Aid — but not as sweet.”
“You can’t say fruit punch and not smile. And you can’t say Flavortown and not smile. And hopefully, you can say Guy Fieri and think good times,” the Food Network star told PEOPLE.
