Just look at this clip from Late Night With Seth Meyers, which finds the host recruiting cookbook author and Food Network presenter Ina “Barefoot Contessa” Garten for some televised day-drinking.
The clip starts off professionally enough. Garten tries to teach Meyers how to make a few of her drink recipes, but, at every opportunity, he drains his glass, getting drunker and drunker along the way. He giggles while pouring crushed ice, tells Garten she makes “a liar’s face,” and bursts out laughing after every slurred word or mangled cutaway (“Well, that’s enough for that,” he stumbles during a string of hilarious, failed segues). Soon, Garten herself is toasted, and the pair begin matching photos of celebrity feet with their owners (because, y’know, Barefoot Contessa) and connecting TV quotes with the famous chef who said them.
