Fieri (pronounced Fi-et-ti)

Attempting to use language-accurate pronunciation is evidence of self-centeredness? Better tell Rush to stop accurately pronouncing Mika Brzezinski’s name, he’s being self-centered!

Which I don't get at all. It's perfectly normal for Romance-language culture backgrounds, like Fieri's from, to pronounce an 'R' like a 'T' (or maybe a slightly softer 'D') in some situations. For example, a Spanish-speaking person saying "para ti" meaning "for you" will make it sound like pah-duh-TEE, almost like a slurred pronunciation of "pot of tea."

It’s HIS name. Not yours. Why should you care how he pronounces his name? I pronounce my name the same wa y my dad does and his dad did...I bet Guy does too.

I retract my statement about how Guy’s father pronounced his name...I see in the article where he actually changed his name to Fieri. But it’s still his name...
