So who do we have left? Guy Fieri and his Camaro? He's kind of a bro-douche. I'm sure now CNN will see a visible dip in viewership without AB.

^^This. I think the reason so many are taking his death hard is that he made it feel like you knew him just by watching him. I'm sure it was a bit of himself and a bit of a character he created but it felt like you could talk to the guy for hours even if you didn't have a single thing in common with him. He was personable. And that's something that's hard enough to find in real life, let alone manage to find someone talented enough to convey through a tv. I mean could you imagine trying to have a conversation with Guy Fieri in a bar? Or Gordon Ramsey? It just ain't gonna happen. Because no one can relate to those guys. We can all relate to AB. Especially any of us that have ever worked in a restaurant.
