Jason Biggs, famous for his role as Jim Levenstein in the raunchy high school comedy American Pie and its three sequels, has taken on a new gig as the host of Netflix's Blue Ribbon Baking Championship. The streaming giant's attempt at creating their very own version of the beloved Great British Bake Off features ten talented bakers from state fairs across the US competing for the chance to win $100,000 and the biggest "Best in Fair" blue ribbon ever.
The competition, which spans over eight episodes, is judged by cake experts Sandra Lee, Bill Yosses, and Bryan Ford. And who better to host this baking battle than a Hollywood star who is no stranger to the world of baking - Jason Biggs himself. With his infamous role in American Pie, where his character Jim famously made love to a pie, Jason brings a playful and humorous touch to the show.
In an interview with USA Today, Jason shared his excitement about hosting a baking competition and making his mark in the food world. He joked, "Whenever I can't think of something to say, I always have a pie joke in my back pocket that brings the house down." And don't worry, no pies were harmed in the making of this show, making it safe for repeat viewing.
The bakes featured in the Blue Ribbon Baking Championship are nothing short of innovative and mouth-watering, from apple-based desserts to cotton candy cupcakes. And of course, there's a classic pie challenge that pays homage to Jason's iconic role in American Pie. The panel of judges, including Sandra Lee, Bill Yosses, and Bryan Ford, bring their expertise and experience to the table, while the contestants, a diverse group of amateur pastry chefs and food competition winners, bring their A-game to win the grand prize.
Jason's involvement in the show comes 25 years after he rose to fame in American Pie. Since then, he has appeared in various TV shows and movies, such as Orange is the New Black, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Earlier this year, he reunited with his on-screen father Eugene Levy as the comedy icon received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As American Pie celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, it's clear that Jason's career has come full circle.
In his personal life, Jason has been happily married to his My Best Friend's Girl co-star Jenny Mollen since 2008. The couple has two sons together and even showcased their food hosting skills as the stars of Dinner and a Movie, where they introduced films like Aquaman and Crazy Rich Asians while sharing behind-the-scenes trivia and hosting potlucks with friends.
