Mario Batali May Know More About 'Suburgatory' Than Cheryl Hines (VIDEO)

Mario Batali may be a 'Suburgatory' super-fan. With star Cheryl Hines a guest on 'The Chew' (weekdays, syndicated on ABC) the celebrity chef gushed about how much he's enjoying the absurdist suburban comedy, and updated Hines on some tune-in info about her own show that even she wasn't aware of.

"It's always nice to see that the suburban world is a little artificial, as I might imagine," Batali observed, after Hines described the many fake aspects of her character Dallas. "I noticed that they added yet another opportunity to view it," he continued. "Last night at 9:30 they started the series again from the pilot, so on Tuesday nights at 9:30 you can view it and Wednesday nights at 8:30 for the original, right?"

Hines hilariously had no idea. "I guess so ... that's news to me," she replied, blissfully unaware of the change. "Well, I was pretty excited about that," Batali countered. When Michael Symon joked that Batali was actually Hines' agent, he let his true 'Suburgatory' fandom show. "I'm actually just a big fan. There are very few shows I can actually choose, and this happens to be one of them, because it's hilarious."
