“I have to ask you for a favor,” he said on the show. “This is a true story… So, we’re making Beat Bobby Flay: The Musical, actually, for Broadway. Don’t laugh, it’s going to happen. We’re working on an amazing composer, we have a writer, the whole thing is happening. But, I need a lead to play the Bobby Flay character.”
Jimmy let out a little chuckle and Bobby clarified he’s not asking him, then asked if he needed to as Jon Hamm.
“We need JT. We need Justin Timberlake. He hasn’t won a Tony yet. He can sing, he can dance, he can do it all,” Bobby said. “Just for a month.”
Jimmy said, “Done,” and asked seriously if this show was actually happening.
“Yes. Well, it’s ‘Beat Bobby Flay,’ and it’s it’s going tell a little bit of my life story and it’s going to be a party,” the chef said. “This is not going to be a bunch of show tunes. This is going to be amazing. It’s a real New York situation, where it’s going to be a party every night in the theatre.”
