Late Laughs

Conan: Conan O’Brien

I was watching the Super Bowl, and for the first hour, I was like, “These guys are just standing around doing nothing!” And then one of my kids told me I had forgotten to turn off “Madden 2015.”

Yesterday, a man was arrested for attempting to get into the White House. Luckily, the man was intercepted after taking advice from Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.

Boston postponed a victory celebration for the New England Patriots due to a record-breaking winter storm. The storm was originally supposed to hit Seattle, but at the last second New England jumped in the way.

On Sunday, Kanye West was angry because fans at the

Super Bowl tried to take selfies with him. He was also angry because people seemed to be watching some “nonKanye thing” down on the field.

Everyone is weighing in on the vaccine story. This week, Hillary Clinton tweeted, “The Earth is round, the sky is blue and vaccines work.” In response, Mike Huckabee said, “She lost me at ‘The Earth is round.’”

It has to be hard being one of the world’s top culinary masters. Maybe that’s why Gordon Ramsay is so angry all of the time.

Love him or hate him, Ramsay is undoubtedly one of the best chefs in the world, and he has the Michelin stars to prove it. The tiny little twinklers are only awarded to the best of the best restaurants, and the British chef has earned more than a dozen throughout his career.

Here in America, though, Ramsay is probably most recognizable for two things: his numerous TV shows and his notorious temper.

Bring those two together, crank them up to 11 and you get “Hell’s Kitchen,” Fox’s cooking-competition series headlined by the master chef himself.

With a whopping 13 seasons behind it, “Hell’s Kitchen” shows no signs of stopping. The 14th season premieres Tuesday, March 3, and the 15th and 16th seasons have already been confirmed by Fox. With Ramsay showing no signs of slowing down, it’s anyone’s guess how long the show will go on.

Similar to Bravo’s competing show “Top Chef,” “Hell’s Kitchen” brings together a group of up-andcoming chefs aiming to prove them- selves as culinary masters. Unlike in Ramsay’s other show, “MasterChef,” these contestants aren’t amateurs or home cooks: they’re professionals, and Ramsay expects them to cook like it.

In each episode, the competing chefs are thrust into what should be their element: a restaurant kitchen during dinner service. With a packed-full dining room, they’re expected to serve up top quality meals for the picky diners — all in a day’s work for a chef, right?

Wrong. The catch here (and of course there has to be a catch) is that they’re not cooking their own menu: they’re cooking Ramsay’s, and he’s put some of his most technically difficult, hard-to-pull-off items on there.

A full dining room? Orders coming fast and furious? A menu filled with technically tricky dishes? As if that weren’t stressful enough, these chefs also have Ramsay breathing down their necks, watching their every move and accepting nothing less than perfection. His standards are sky high, and with a temper like his, each dinner service is an explosive affair.

And this, perhaps, is the biggest reason for the show’s enduring appeal. Ramsay’s temper is legendary, but so is his appeal for perfection. He demands only the best, and when he gets it and cracks one of his rare smiles, it makes for one of those rare, satisfying TV moments.

Season 14 of Hell’s Kitchen premieres Tuesday, March 3, on Fox.
