Michael Shannon might be the last person I thought I'd see in the Test Kitchen and yet I'm super into it. He's one of my favorite actors.

Michael Shannon getting ahead of Carla and doing it wrong is me during every college class ever

[MsLilyPickles]

When he says HEY MA. 😂 Effing adorable.

Michael Shannon is one of those actors who's really good in playing villains but turns out to be weirdly charming when acting normal and nice.

[jnpyuti]

It's funny and cute that he brought his mother with him

"The thing with butchering is like if you feel like have to force it, you are in the wrong spot."
"That's the thing with everything."
So truee

“Mmm yummy!” -Michael Shannon, the world’s most deadpan actor

"i like cutting wings... *destroying hope* "
_where's my lung help_

After a career of playing notable psychopaths, Michael Shannon seems a very laid back and cool guy. Glad to see it and I might try to make the chicken too.

[alyssapwelling]

He’s so wildly attractive and I’ve always noticed how sweet he acts towards people behind the scenes. Love this guy!!!

[jumpythehat]

"You got the leg and the thigh off of both sides of the body?" "I wouldn't say with absolute certainty, but I'm holding a piece of chicken in my hand."


Oh, I like this guy.

[TyanA]

*HEY KEEP IT DOWN OVA THERE.* not you, the chicken, it's loud.

[meloD]

Me: Oh cool, we'll get to see his less intense side.
Michael Shannon: I love cutting off wings, destroying hope...

[KimberlyGreen]

Carla has actual talent as an interviewer. Casually asking leading questions, all while keeping the prep going.

[ennui_cherub]

"that was fast"
"I'm sorry"

[jasonc]

Shannon: I've never seen a Ghost pepper before.

Carla: Ya, that's kinda their thing.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nobody:
Michael: *hangs honey-covered spoon on nose*

Love when Michael's humor is dry, he's hilarious and I hope he starts going for more comedic roles.

Carla: (going through instructions)
Michael Shannon: (took a bite of cabbage)
