ALLENTOWN, Pa. –\u00a0Allentown native and Hollywood actress Amanda Seyfried visited “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday to talk about her hometown.<\/p>\n

During the show’s “Community Calendar” segment, several Lehigh Valley businesses and organizations received shoutouts, including Colonial Pizza and the State Theatre in Easton, and Stony Run Winery in Breinigsville.<\/p>\n

Seyfried also highlighted Mary Ann Donut Kitchen in Allentown for its fastnachts. She described the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch treats as being made with lard, sugar, fat, butter, and sometimes potatoes.<\/p>\n

While Fastnacht Day is Feb. 17, the bakery announced on Facebook that it will begin selling them early on Feb. 3. The post included a clip of the national television shoutout.<\/p>\n

“It’s not every day that we are mentioned on national television,” the bakery said in the post.<\/p>\n

Seyfried, who attended William Allen High School, appeared on the show to promote her new film, “The Testament of Ann Lee”.<\/p>\n

WFMZ-TV spoke with Seyfried in 2021 about her experience growing up in the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n
