So when the legend himself teased a preview of his upcoming transformation in a Super Bowl commercial with Bosch, fans across the nation did a full-on double-take.  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Fieri transformed from Guy to &#8220;Just a Guy&#8221; for the spot, and let me tell you: the Food Network star is practically unrecognizable without his goatee and signature spiky hair\u2014 and most importantly, his signature swag. The makeover was so jarring that even his wife, Lori, couldn&#8217;t fully get on board. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;She looked at me and went, &#8216;Oh boy,'&#8221; he shared exclusively with Delish. &#8220;When I came out with my khakis and my polo button-down shirt and my white tennis shoes and no jewelry, my hair in a wig, she goes, &#8216;I don&#8217;t remember what Guy looked like back in the day with brown hair and no goatee.&#8217; Now she thinks I&#8217;d better stick with &#8216;Guy&#8217; and not &#8216;Just a Guy.'&#8221; <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And it wasn&#8217;t exactly easy to pull off, either. &#8220;They brought in a CGI guy because I couldn&#8217;t shave my goatee; I was in the middle of filming<em data-node-id=\"7.1\"> Tournament of Champions,&#8221;<\/em> he shares. &#8220;And it was fun doing the acting part.&#8221; Fieri said he had to figure out who &#8220;Just a Guy&#8221; even was on-camera. &#8220;&#8216;Just a Guy&#8217; doesn&#8217;t speak as aggressively, uses a bit of vocabulary, doesn&#8217;t have as many mannerisms or quotes, so it took a little bit to find who &#8216;Just a Guy&#8217; was,&#8221; he explained.  And when filming wrapped, Lori apparently wanted the real Guy back immediately. He&#8217;d walk back over, and she\u2019d say, &#8216;Stop, just talk to me normally. It\u2019s already hard enough to look at you,&#8217; he said. Safe to say: she wasn\u2019t a fan. &#8220;I look like I sold insurance, like I was going to sit down and talk to you about a whole life policy,&#8221; he added.<i data-node-id=\"7.3\"\/> <em data-node-id=\"7.5\"><br data-node-id=\"7.5.0\"\/><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Guy considers this commercial one of the biggest moments in his career. &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t have done this with anybody else,&#8221; he says of working with Bosch. &#8220;I mean, honestly, because if we&#8217;re going to do it, we got to do it. These guys brought this idea, and it was full throttle. They only do things the best.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-1fm2v8u e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-18s47pf e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Story<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Case in point: Guy joked that he tried to sneak some equipment home from set. &#8220;The Bosch nailer and the Bosch circular saw and the leveling\u2014they had so many cool tools there I didn&#8217;t even know Bosch had,&#8221; he said. And while he&#8217;s no stranger to the brand (his ranch is stocked with Bosch products), his absolute favorite is their fridge. &#8220;I mean, they&#8217;re the Camaro, the Ferrari [of fridges],&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And when it comes to the Super Bowl itself, Guy Fieri is a pro at both tailgating <em data-node-id=\"11.5\">and<\/em> hosting. His number one tip for throwing a successful SB party? &#8220;Don&#8217;t get caught cooking in the kitchen for everybody.&#8221; Instead, he suggests doing as much prep as possible beforehand so you can actually enjoy yourself. His two all-time favorites are chicken wings and nachos. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;The reason is, if you do really quality ingredients and set it up ahead of time, you&#8217;ll have a lot of variety,&#8221; he explained. Get a variety of seasoned meats, pickled veggies, and sauces, and let everyone t grab what they want. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Look, I&#8217;m just here for the food and the halftime show.
