Sam on the TODAY Show

Sam on TODAY show live from Vancouver Olypmics

On Monday February 22nd Sam will be cooking on the TODAY Show live from the Vancouver Winter Olympics!! In case some of you missed the Vancouver Show last year, this is extra special because Vancouver is Sam's home town. He should be on around 8:45am, but I'd tune in between 8:30-9:30 just to be safe! Good Luck Sam...very cool.

SCG Fan Proposal

Last weekend Sam took some of his fans who won a contest out to lunch. During the lunch one of the couples got engaged....cuteness!!

Howard Stern up date...

Still working on getting the audio from Sam's Howard Stern interview this morning...but in the meantime here's what they posted about it on Howard's site...


SAM 'THE COOKING GUY' IS A HERO
Howard got Sam 'The Cooking Guy' Zien on the line to celebrate the clip he played yesterday in which Sam told 'Today' show host Kathie Lee Gifford to stop talking over him. Sam shrugged it off: "I feel like, you know, they brought me up to do a job – like you were saying yesterday – and all of a sudden I had to cut through it somehow."
Sam said he was a little miffed when he was asked back to the 'Today' show a couple weeks later for a intervention segment with an 'etiquette expert': "I don't think I did anything wrong. I don't think I had anything to apologize for." Sam laughed that the second segment actually proved his point, as Kathie Lee and her co-host kept talking over the 'etiquette expert' as well. Sam added that he still appears on the 'Today' show, but: "When I'm on now, I'm not on with them."

Sam's going to be on Howard Stern tomorrow!!!

OMG...breaking Sam news!!! Sam is going to be on the Howard Stern show tomorrow 2/2 @ 8am Eastern time so 5am Pacific time on Howard's Sirius radio show. For those of you who don't have Sirius, I'll try and put it up tomorrow! This should be interesting!

From howardstern.com today.......

SAM ZIEN IS A HERO
Howard played a clip of Sam 'The Cooking Guy' Zien telling Kathie Lee Gifford to stop talking over him during a cooking segment on 'The Today Show' – and Kathie Lee's don't-talk-to-us-like-that retort: "She's got to gobble up the world, that hungry...Oh she's so hungry. Her hunger irritates me. Her hunger irritates me!" Howard thought Sam should've gone further: "He should've stuffed that food right in her mouth...he should've stuck his f’ing fork in her tongue."
Howard was particularly incensed with Kathie Lee's power play ("Can't anyone stand up to Kathie Lee? She's the devil! She's the devil!") and her incessant chatter: "Kathie Lee's a child. An attention sucking child." Howard later joked: "It's like having Scott Greenstein's in the room with you."

Another hard day laughing at work!

They say laughter is the best medicine. I'm not sure who "they" are, but I would have to agree. People ask me about my job all the time; what it's like, what I do, how is it working with Sam?.....

And my typical answer is AMAZING, I really do love my job and feel so lucky to get to do what I do. I think of how much I truly enjoy going to work, and how much fun I have. So in a nut shell, a day on a Sam shoot is always fun and full of laughter; and Monday's shoot was no different. In the middle of the shoot I mentioned how he hadn't been swearing much lately; which as most of you know is a bit unusual. So, in true Sam fashion he took my comment and ran with it.

Enjoy...it made me laugh & my hope is that it adds some laughter to your day too! To see the whole show, tune in this Sunday 1/31 @ 5:30 & 7pm on Channel 4.
