Paula Deen Freaked by 'Today Show' Staffer
Paula Deen had a bit of a freak out last week on the set of the "Today Show" after an NBC staffer accidentally walked into the shot and hid behind a kitchen island.
"Oh my goodness, can you all see? What is he doing in here? Does he work here?" Deen asked Al Roker as she prepared her Nutty Orange Coffee Cake to promote the New York City Wine & Food Festival. "He doesn't have a gun does he? Should we pull out our knives?"
Roker laughed along with Deen, although it became a bit awkward after he asked her what she was making.
"Nervous. That's what we're making -- nerves, nervous," she said. "Is he from this country?"
But all became hunky-dory once more when Deen learned the man did indeed work for NBC.
"Oh so you do work here, well here," Deen said as she handed him a slice of cake.

Yes Paula, international terrorists have targeted you because of their kids getting fat from your cookbooks.
3Geeeeze, what an extremely mis-leading headline. What show were YOU watching?!? She didn't "freak out" or "lose her cool"! She made light of the situation. They
were all laughing and having fun. I thought it was funny. Some joker just got caught in the shot. No big deal. get a grip, slashfood.

Paula:
You have horrors now -- wait until that big mouth Kate Gosselin gets on you show. And, by the way, I will NOT watch you any more. Kate is nothing but money hungry and a fake.

No big deal! Aren't there more pressing thing out there to report on. The press has lost it.
Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm
12Paula Deen is HYPE!! Ever eat at Lady and Sons in Savannah?? Yuck!!! Can't even sit at a table to be comfortable. Food is crap. What the heck makes her so special, I don't get it. Gordon Ramsey...if you are reading this...go give her restaurant the Kitchen Nightmares makeover!!!
14Hate to be the one to tell you, but you do not "overcome" a brain disease. Saying it is acceptable because no one wants to eat food made by a crazy person. But, (if we wanted to make an observation about it), her "overcoming" did a great disservice for people still suffering from mental illness.
Glad she's ok and that guy was an employee and not a man with a gun.
