Guy Fieri reveals startling 'new look' is for Super Bowl commercial

  • On Monday, January 26, Bosch used celebrity chef Guy Fieri's toned-down photo and video as a teaser for its Super Bowl commercial airing February 8, 2026.
  • After about six months, Bosch and Droga5 developed the Just A Guy concept, with Fieri spending 25 days on wardrobe, hairstyle, and voice, and he said, `My commitment to doing this was, 'Okay, we're playing big ball. And I'll play,'` to Entertainment Weekly.
  • On set, Bosch and Fieri's team say the video used high-end post-production visual effects rather than AI, with wig application taking two hours and filming spanning 24 to 36 hours.
  • Fans reacted online with disbelief as Fieri said his mother and wife initially failed to recognize him and he plans to `turn my phone off for about three weeks` due to the reaction.
  • The company is positioning the stunt in its second consecutive Super Bowl effort, using the $8,000,000 30-second ad cost to boost U.S. awareness through the `Like a Bosch` platform.
