To make it into the final four, the remaining contestants had to make it through a comedy round on 'Food Network Star' (Sun., 9PM ET on Food). They didn't have to tell jokes, even though that's what Jeff used to do for a living. He even gave the celebrity comedians a sampling of his comedy stylings.

"I would give you a cooking show just to make sure you never did stand-up again," Gilbert Gottfried told him after a joke fell very flat with the panel.

Even though his comedy didn't go over well, they did like his Italian roast beef sandwich, and his presence. When asked if they'd watch a cooking show about sandwiches, Louie Anderson said, "I'd watch him."

If the personality is engaging and enjoyable enough, the format of the show is almost secondary.

The comedians continued to give a hard time to all the contestants, with the best dig perhaps coming after Vic tried some flirting on Aubrey Plaza. When she asked him what he'd do if she said she didn't know how to eat his food, he said he'd feed it to her.

At that, Anthony Anderson immediately said he didn't know how to eat his food. You're here to compete in a cooking competition, not try and flirt your way through a challenge, Vic!

Vic made it through, though, along with Susie, while Jeff won the challenge. That left Mary Beth, who needed tips from the butcher, and Whitney. Whitney is just a little too green in the kitchen and needs to open up more on camera, which is why she was eliminated just shy of the Top Four.
