I’m surprised Jordan didn’t run out and try to correct her.

Every time she says "Spagitti" it feels like a dagger in my heart. I cringe so hard my Italian ancestors feel it.

[JJ.ermenegildofregna]

If you pronounce spaghetti like that in Italy you'd be taken for an idiot.

I am italian and trust me she sounds so american when she talks in italian, she pronounces everything wrong😂 linguine: *-e* in italian is pronounced *-ea/-ae* so *”linguineh”*
fettuccine: the same
orecchiette: the same
Don’t forget the double consonants they have to be pronounced as double consonants and roll the R

[CarloTeofilo]

Conan’s pronunciation of “mascarpone” was on point!

[kanohn]

1:29 Conan's pronunciation of "Mascarpone" is the only right italian word in the entire video btw

[aml]

No one says spaghetti like that in Italy

[jackadoni]

She's about as italian as Domino's Pizza

[antoniocarello]

Actually, her pronunciation doesn't sound italian at all. It's fettuccinE, linguinE.

[officialmattmedia]

my favorite italian words is "enzo gorlomi antonio margaretti dominic decoco."

[Margano.music.official]

"Linguini, fettuccini, orecchietti" 💀💀💀

[Stefanop]

That is definitely not how you pronounce “spaghetti” in Italy

[davidgajeske]

I lived in Italy for 4 years and never heard anyone pronounce spaghetti like that....

[genuinelyjag]

We all clicked on this to learn Italian.

[Germania]

She was awesome as one of Padme Amidala's handmaiden.

[umbertoferraris]

This lady is so Italian that pronounces final “E” like “I”😂

[jhanick]

Imagine being so hot people listen to everything you have to say and find it interesting

[paololuparello]

Very funny... but being a petulant Italian I have to specify one thing: although her pronunciation of the word "spaghetti" is good, then she gets the wrong pronunciation of the words "fettucinE" and "linguinE" by pronouncing the letters "E" with the English sound and not the Italian one.
Now my ancestors can rest peacefully.

When you're Italian but you only know Italian words related to food like everyone else

[whiskyrebel]

I've been watching her cooking shows for years and I still can't boil water
