So, here’s an announcement that might be unexpected: I spend a lot of time watching The Food Network. Between my days spent locked in a bunker with nice grammas and my wife’s love of ‘Chopped’, there are a lot of hours of random folks cooking in my week, and I can’t figure out why 60% of the network’s output features the inexplicably famous Guy Fieri. Is he a compelling dudebro presence? Sure, but five weekly series just seems like too much Guy, and I’m still unclear why exactly he became notorious, leading us to today’s psuedo-celebrity query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) usually has to ask who the sports stars in commercials are, but knows all the Real World kids up to about 1999, asking: Based on your understanding of the world at large, what pseudo-celebrity is the most inexplicably famous of all?

I’m not sure if she counts as pseudo celebrity but Felicia Day. She’s lovely and many people know her but I can’t name a single thing shes been in right now.
Well, I’d categorize Felicia as an actual celebrity, but… I’ve had people say that about me? So, it can be pretty subjective. :)
That weird giant rodent they found in New Jersey that tries to imitate human behavior. I think it is called a Snooki or Snookie or something?
Any reality TV participants that make news for the behavior off camera.
