FOX SPECIAL: GLUTTON BOWL #1: THE WORLD'S GREATEST EATING COMPETITION

THE BIGGEST EATERS ON EARTH CHOW DOWN ON THE ALL-NEW SPECIAL 'GLUTTON BOWL #1: THE WORLD'S GREATEST EATING COMPETITION' THURSDAY, FEB. 21, ON FOX

This gut-busting, eat-'til-you-drop, two-hour special pits 40 larger-than-life contestants against each other in unique competitive eating challenges. In the early rounds, competitors square off in a challenge to see how much or how fast they can consume. The winner in each round earns a spot in the finals, which will be an unbelievable, all-out gorge-fest with a big cash prize. The qualifying round categories will range from huge bowls of mayonnaise to beef tongue to sticks of butter. The final round -- not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach -- will include a surprise"delicacy", and won't end until only one competitor is left standing on the special GLUTTON BOWL #1: THE WORLD'S GREATEST EATING COMPETITON Thursday, Feb 21 (8:00- 10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SP-0208) (TV-PG)

What does Seth Green have to do with Family Guy? (I feel like I'm missing something obvious)

He also does various misc. characters which sound more like his "real" voice....the stoned guy (you're in the ether, maaan!) from last weeks episode, for instance.

Good god... ONLY IN THE USA!

Where else in the world would a gem like Family Guy be replaced with "quality programming" like that?

Talk about the "lowest common denominator" programming. I guess Family Guy was just too brainy for the average Fox viewer.

I've lost all hope in mankind... if anyone needs me I'll be drowning my sorrows in a big chocolate banana split.

Ugh!

This is hideous. I can't believe they replace Family Guy with something so retarded. I wonder if they taped it or if it will be live and we'll be able to someone die.

I mean, sure, I like the bowl of mayonnaise now and again, but to film it! ;) Ugh, sticks of butter?

Well, I guess it doesn't have jokes about Jewish people.
