[@zeldasmith6154]

He's adorable and so kind. He's got my vote.

[@ManiacMeats]

Jacques is the Bob Ross of French cooking. #NationalTreasure

[@tracybosworth1033]

What a great description!

[@rusrockt10]

I only really started cooking in my late 30's....and once I did, I couldn't stop watching M. Pepin's cooking videos. He is an absolute treasure.

[@presentfuture7563]

He taught me to smash my garlic with a fork! Everybody thinks I'm weird but it's better than a garlic press!

[@diytom3448]

He taught me to cook

[@peyo31]

Love Jacques. A legendary chef, and on top of that a humble and kind man.

[@Mellita513]

I've always loved watching Jacques Pepin do his thing!

[@filmcrew3531]

Grew up watching him on PBS, what a treasure he is! Thank you Jacques Pépin!

[@vbplayer50]

He fits in to every genre. What an amazing man.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

What a world we could be living in if everyone were a little more like him.

[@diannes.1275]

I absolutely adore Jacques Pepin! I watch every video of his that I can find. I especially love his videos where he literally clears everything out of his refrigerator and make something wonderful from it. He is amazing!!❤️

[@sheneiaparks4745]

Jac, would love to wish you a very happy 87th birthday. You are such a wonderful inspiration for all.

[@rachelbunt2188]

I fallow Jacques Pépin on KZbin : his recipes are simple and look good. And he is a good teacher! Merci monsieur!

[@sheltiepeas]

This was wonderful! Chef Pepin is such a treasure and Jimmy is so funny. Please have him on the show again, we love him.

[@predrag.petkovic]

Amazing person, amazing cook, he with his videos made a difference in my family's everyday life,so thanks Mr Pépin for everything you share with us in your teaching videos. We will enjoy this next series too for sure. Happy cooking!

[@chrisandersen5635]

I’m always happy to to see Chef Pépin. Delightful. Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@sharonbartley7396]

I just love Chef so much!! and learn so much every time I watch him....he is so kind and generous

[@andys4960]

The Master! Chef Pepin has taught me so much over the years, both as a home cook and professional chef. What a pleasure to see him teaching a new audience on the Jimmy Fallon Show!

[@kinseymilkbone]

Back in 1996 Jacques Pepin and his wife, his brother, and sister-in-law were staying at the same Club Med in Martinique as me and my wife's family. He actually taught my wife (a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America) how to windsurf.

[@jovanlucarelli3088]

Jacques is such a good sport, love him

[@lizrippee3684]

He reminds me so much of my dear deceased father. It brings me much comfort to see Jacque’s face & mannerisms & to hear his voice when I am missing my dad!

[@lisasenter1091]

His videos are such a treat to watch and learn from. So nice to see him on network TV.

[@Jim_L]

Jacques is a real show-off, without having any intention whatsoever of showing off. He's a master craftsman in the truest sense of the word. It's utterly fascinating to watch him work his magic in the kitchen.

[@tonythemedtravels]

He is an absolute treasure! Hope you can all keep doing segments with him, like seeing how he makes an omelet or debone a whole chicken, as much as possible.

[@asteverino8569]

Merci Monsieur Pépin. Je vous apprécie et votre façon de cuisiner depuis des décennies !

[@paulkavanaugh454]

Thank you Mr. Pepin always a pleasure watching your techniques.

[@papajesus_]

And the award goes to Jacques Pepin for coolest name

[@tomfrantz]

Two actually great humans. Love the sandwich taste and what the drummer said.

[@intuneorange]

No matter how depressing the news is hearing Jacques voice is medicine to my ears

[@duncanjames914]

Jacques Pepin is amazing! I don't recall which video it was, but he said "that's how we did it in Paris in the 50's" (referring to how different pastries were made). The man is a legend on so many levels.

[@dee_dee_place]

I've made Chef Pépin's Pumpkin Gratin & it is to die for.

[@MarieAgniel]

Love him! wish the restaurant industry can be inspired by a such great chef and beautiful personality.

[@roganhennie2201]

Up here in Alberta, somehow just crushing Jacque's videos over the last couple weeks. Eggs, fish, salads... the dude is upping my game! Merci Jacques!

[@lawrenceiverson1924]

I still have my copy of " La Technique " from the 70s Still look at it sometimes. !!!

[@patressakearns4290]

Chef Pépin is a national treasure!

[@nailbitter310]

I love Chef Jacques Pépin! 🤩🤩🤩

[@marydillonsalai8985]

We all do.❤❤❤

[@iadiramorales68]

I am grateful for this show ❤ that allows us to transform our mind to a happier place. Thank you Tonight Show HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃 EVERYONE and stuff your face 😂I know I will…

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

So glad to see him around. He's amazing. And ofc, simple always wins.

[@krisfrederick5001]

Jimmy goes from "I can't carve a turkey" to "Beat Bobby Pépin" in 2 seconds 🦃👀

[@marieclairedolar8686]

I love watching the Master Chef ! He is the ultimate!

[@anna10246]

i need jeques and jimmy to come over to my house and cook my thanksgiving meal 😆

[@slickymoxy]

He's adorable. ❤️ I love how he tricked Jimmy and told him that was sugar. Lol. He's a legend. ❤️

[@journeytothinify]

We just love Chef Pepin!!

[@sue6454]

The best chef hands down!!!

[@deefrazier3539]

I'm a member of his fan club! I have 6 of his books! I love this man!!!!!

[@cheriee3840]

This is actually a really cute segment. Jacques always with the wine lol

[@m.theresa1385]

Such a treat to see Chef Pépin! My go to guy for every recipe - he makes it so easy and ‘doable’. Maybe he’s got a (turkey) pot pie recipe.

[@arnold934]

I love Jac so much! Literally a legend

[@davidtaylor8822]

The audience clearly doesn't have high expectations of Jimmy Fallon's manual skills. He gets a cheer just for cutting a slice of turkey!

[@Dansback21]

What an icon, I thought the man literally pulled a glass of wine out of thin air!

[@Mikekukreja]

Jacques Pepin is a treasure

[@Antimaga000]

Most lovely unassuming chef on TV love to watch him cook

[@sonyamastick]

Jimmy getting lightly roasted by Jacques with that sugar/salt joke was great! 😂

[@tracybosworth1033]

😂😂

[@roderickmacneil5472]

Jacques Pepin knows about stuff. Especially food.

[@eliagron8750]

I love his recipe, thanks. Happy time

[@earthcream]

The best guest ever on the tonight show...🥰🥰🥰

[@loveforeignaccents]

We needed more overhead shots here.

[@JuliaJulia-fh6wf]

Le Chef Jacques Pépin, l'un des plus grands chefs de tous les temps / Chef Jacques Pépin, one of the greatest chefs of all time 🇫🇷 👨🏻‍🍳 🍽️💞 🕊️ 🙏🏻

[@julianstorey2699]

Bless you Jacques Pepin

[@jennm9395]

Loved this! So sweet!!! ❤

[@HigherPlanes]

Anyone else roast the most perfectly cooked moist turkey this Thanksgiving but forgot to remove the giblet bag? BTW- tell everyone AFTER they eat.

[@sharonshin4574]

Happy Thanksgiving, Jimmy!!! 🦃🦃

[@UltimateAleks]

Best cook ever, true gentleman 👌🏽

[@ravenhebert]

I needed this 😂

[@Maja_boo]

absolute TREASURE of a human being !! :)

[@rgjerde53]

I love Jacques Pepin's shows, but my favorite is when he was cooking with Julia Child. It didn't matter what they were making, they were fun to watch.

[@ksw4942]

I love him! On par with Julia. All others are just mere imitations.

[@traceycamille]

LOVE HIM

[@JohnHausser]

🎩 bas pour Monsieur Pépin The 🇫🇷 Gordon Ramsay Cheers from San Diego California 🇺🇸

[@disco07]

of course, now I will have turkey sandwich for lunch. A diet sugar free green tea and a tomato-basil soup. Bon Appetit!

[@dianehartung5954]

Looks so good!!! Lovevthis❤❤❤❤

[@jeancarlosgarcia1884]

JP is an international treasure

[@denniskinzler5890]

Jacques is #1

[@AmraphelofShinar]

Jacques has probably been on tv longer than Jimmy has been alive.

[@MiaHolz]

Love This!

[@nomeaknat]

Jimmy is the GOAT

[@visariosorino8034]

To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 🤗 ❤️

[@staceygandy2009]

That man is awesome. And the real deal. But just for fun he should have a staged turkey to prank Jimmy with one like the turkey Chevy Chase cut into! That would be wild!

[@johnlind8653]

Hes class

[@h7opolo]

there is one rule about hosting a game show: you must always lose

[@19ashe86]

Jacques is the best

[@djmcnerney]

That’s sugar! 😂

[@EvelynRobinson22]

Ah yes, the famous ‘Jimmy Fallon’ sandwhich (without the lettuce), I make one every year the day after Christmas…if you don’t know what i’m talking about, look up ‘During commercial break: Andy Samberg’

[@crismalichi]

YUMMY YUMMY

[@jnicholson5277]

Where can I find the recipe for Jacques' pumpkin gratan

[@AzNeo]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHjEc2asmZpobpI start at around the 2:20 mark.

[@lainecolley1414]

Jacques also knows why we can have hot chocolate but not hot Ovaltine.

[@jaimereynolds3914]

He's so cute.

[@lawrenceiverson1924]

Jimmy, it's NOT Pepong or Gratong. It's Pepang., Gratang. Jeez !!!

[@pphedup]

Well, dressing on a sandwich??? Dude, I don't think so. Go Jaques!

[@gigibeltran1538]

Does the roots know my dad Michael Beltran he used to work with them and I have the hat jimmy plss ask them

[@gotwalk]

❤❤❤❤

[@pierrelarocque3214]

Vive la France !!!

[@WillGassen]

Jimmy, call to Danilo Gentili

[@lindaeng4978]

Well of course #JimmyFallon did you ever even think you had a chance to beat the BEST chef everrr #JacquePepin??!! Neverrr!! I think not!!!😂😅🥹🤔☺️😍

[@arnold934]

His Italian lisp

[@jennifermuller8050]

I watch his cooking daily to learn new new cooking recipes and other cooking techniques on Facebook Everyone go to watch it’s so nice to learn his recipes and fun!!

[@rickwallace2091]

The audience goes bananas because he cut a piece of meat

[@seankim884]

They Should Make A Thanks Giving Special.

[@shaboom362]

I did learn a lot from this culinary genius. However was I the only one who thought he had a weirdly inappropriate relationship with his daughter Claudine?

[@lalanafta8749]

😂😂😂

[@janefalzarano3428]

So AITA who’s pronouncing it Pep-IN for the last 30 years? I’ve never heard it as “Pep-On”

[@elizabradley4797]

Jimmy ‼️ It's pronounced "Péppèèn". french.not "Peppōn" Duh ‼️‼️‼️
