Iconic Food Network Chef Announces Unexpected Career Move<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bobby Flay is headed to Broadway \u2014 and he wants an A-list star to join in on the action.<\/p>\n

The Food Network host just announced he’s been working on a musical and has plans for it to debut on Broadway sometime in the future. During an appearance on The Tonight Show<\/a>, Flay shared that the show would tell some of his life story \u2014 but is overall just going to be a big party on stage.<\/p>\n

“Beat Bobby Flay, you know the show, we’re making Beat Bobby Flay the musical actually for Broadway. Don’t laugh, we’re going to make it happen…The whole thing’s happening,” Flay shared.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to tell a little bit of my life story and it’s gonna be a party. This is not gonna be a bunch of show tunes. This is gonna be amazing…It’s gonna be a real New York situation where it’s going to be a party every night in the theater,” Flay explained.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that the show already has a writer and an “amazing composer” but he’s still looking for a lead actor to play him in the musical. That’s where he requested Fallon’s assistance \u2014 hoping he could put in a good word with his friend Justin Timberlake.<\/p>\n

“We need Justin Timberlake. He hasn’t won a Tony yet, come on! He can sing, he can dance, he can do it all,” Flay said, adding, “Just for a month!”<\/p>\n

Fallon agreed to see what he could do, although it didn’t sound like it was going to be the easiest task to get Timberlake on board.<\/p>\n

And while JT may not be involved in the show, Flay says food is definitely going to be a part of the experience \u2014 so fans won’t want to miss out!<\/p>\n
