JIMMY FALLON AND MARY GIULIANI JOIN MARIO BATALI
FOR NEW EPISODE OF MOLITISSIMO
In the latest episode of Moltissimo, presented by Microsoft Surface, Mario Batali welcomes Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and author and caterer Mary Giuliani to the MUNCHIES Kitchen for a lesson in wine-opening and ravioli-making.
MUNCHIES is excited to release the latest episode of MOLTISSIMO, hosted by food icon Mario Batali. Sponsored by Microsoft Surface, the episode features Batali hosting two dear friends into the MUNCHIES Kitchen: Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and New York City’s author and caterer Mary Giuliani.
Mario welcomes his guests with a very special menu of pollo alla romana and ravioli al’amatriciana, two dishes which hail from the Lazio region of Italy. In between Jimmy’s rapid fire impressions — highlights include John Travolta, Yosemite Sam, Rosie Perez, and a VICE correspondent — Batali teaches the pair how to fold and cut ravioli and how to properly open a bottle wine.
As Mario prepares his Italian feast, Mary and Jimmy talk about they both got their starts in their industries. A SNL alumni, Fallon recounts his two auditions for the show with legendary SNL Producer Lorne Michaels. After losing out to Tracy Morgan for the gig, Fallon ultimately swayed Michaels with his Seinfeld impression. Mary recounts her own path to becoming a world-renowned caterer, accidentally ending up on that career path after years as a struggling actor.
