I'm sure Guy will get a shout out for his new prime time game show on NBC (the same network as the Jay Leno Show), Perfect 10. (Er, or is that Minute To Win It - tweet) Kim Kardashian is the special guest and the featured segment is with Jillian Michaels.
The last time Guy Fieri was on The Jay Leno Show was for the Ten @ Ten: Guy Fieri, on November 11, 2009. Two of my favorite questions?
Jay: Choose A, B or C. Johnny Garlic's is...A) The name of one of your restaurants
B) A dish you created
C) The worst name ever for a men's cologne
Guy: I wish it was C, because that would be money. But it's actually A, the name of my restaurant.
...
Jay: Choose A, B or C. number ten. The Awesome Pretzel is...
A) A three-wheel bicycle cart your dad built for you so you could sell pretzels
B) A new show by Cirque du Soleil
C) $200 at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel
Guy: [laughing] I don't even want to know how C was dreamed up. But it was actually A, the name of my pretzel business when I was a kid. The Awesome Pretzel.

Guy Fieri also made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in March 2009, where he demonstrated Pork En Fuego.
In other news:
On New Year's Eve, Santa Rosa's newspaper, the Press Democrat, caught up with Guy Fieri and his family, celebrating Ryder's (Guy's son's) 4th birthday.
When asked about Perfect 10, Guy said that he's "been sitting on this for about two and a half months." He went on to say a very cool set is being built in a 350-seat studio in Los Angeles. Shooting for the show starts mid-January, which doesn't yet have a premiere date.
The article also mentioned that Guy Fieri is preparing to visit the White House and the Obamas to promote cooking with kids.
It has been a long-time goal of Guy's to make a national Cook With Your Kids Day. The first step was for California to recognize the day on a state level. In March of 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger teamed up with Guy Fieri on the steps of The State Capitol in Sacramento, California, for Ag Day.
