It could have been very different for him if he’d become the lead way back when. The two stopped by On with Mario and spoke to Mario Lopez about their podcast. They said the premise of the show is taking phone calls, talking about what’s going on in the kitchen, and cracking each other up.

He said those that call in he’d ask what was in their refrigerator and help them cook. Tyler said he was a huge Wells fan so it was a no-brainer when the opportunity to work together came up.

Both Of Them Have New Reality Shows Coming

Wells is going to be hosting another food show for Hulu called Best in Dough. The contestants are competing to make the best pizzas. Chris Harrison commented when Wells shared the trailer, “Hell yes! I’ll be there. You’re going to crush it, my friend.” Tyler is going to be on Special Forces World’s Toughest Test.
