Gilles Marini, who plays Luc on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters," dropped by "The Fran Drescher Show" to teach the "tawk" show host how to make a holiday dessert on Thursday's (Dec. 16) episode. And from what we hear, it was pretty hot in the kitchen.
Marini showed Fran Drescher how to make a traditional French holiday dessert called a Buche de Noel, which is a cake shaped like a log.
"My father was a pastry chef and he taught me," Marini tells her and then he adds, "I'm a better pastry chef than an actor [or] dancer."
To which the quick-witted Drescher responds, "You notice he didn't say lover!"
The former model also tells Drescher that one of his earliest jobs was as a firefighter. "Can you imagine calling 911," she asks the audience. "And having this guy come to your house?"
That's not even the best parts. Apparently, Marini has been a fan of Drescher for a while.

One of our favorite celebrities, Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress and musician, Minnie Driver, dropped in on "The Fran Drescher Show" along with indie icon Liz Phair and producer Marc "Doc" Dauer to perform from their new educational album for kids, "Body Rocks."
Driver has kept her baby daddy's identity secret, only dropping one major hint over the years: He's a musician. Forgive us. In Zap2it's exclusive clip, she tells Fran Drescher that he's an "amazing musician." And it seems that her two-year-old son, Henry, takes after his secret dad and talented mom.
"He came out playing music," Driver says. "He sings. He plays the guitar. He plays the drums. I mean he's two, but he does his very best. He loves it. And his dad is an amazing musician."
We know moms typically believe their kids are above average, but something tells us Driver isn't overstating this one.
Oh,...

If you don't live in one of the six markets in which Fox airs "The Fran Drescher Show," we have a treat for you.
On Thursday's (Dec. 2) episode, Fran Drescher welcomes "Star Trek's" Captain James T. Kirk "$#*! My Dad Says" actor William Shatner and Zap2it has an exclusive clip from his appearance.
If you want to hear how Shatner coped with the death of his wife, you're out of luck. We don't have that clip. But, if you'd like to see him mess up Drescher's carefully planned cooking segment, then you're in the right place.
Basically, Drescher's staff discovered the recipe for "William Shatner's Cappuccino Chocolate Chip Muffins" and they thought it would be a great idea to whip them up during his appearance. Problem is Shatner has never heard of these muffins, but he still decides to give it a go.
Watch our exclusive clip below...

"The Nanny" star Fran Drescher tells Zap2it the time is right for her new talk show premiering on select Fox networks on Nov. 26.
That doesn't mean there haven't been other opportunities to come back to TV. In fact, she has been approached to join the No. 1 show on television, "Dancing with the Stars," but the activist and actress tells us that the price wasn't right.
"I've been asked [to do] 'Dancing With The Stars' in the past," Drescher tells us. "But it's too much of a commitment and not enough money. I have too many things going on. I watch it, but I don't really need to do it. It's just too time consuming."
The new talk show host tells us that we're not the first to tell her she'd rock those bedazzled costumes and probably has quite the dancing ability. "Well, who knows? Maybe I'd last for a while,...

"The Nanny" star Fran Drescher isn't playing around when it comes to her new talk tawk show on Fox. The network will be airing the show in six markets for a three-week trial and she's calling in the heavy hitters for when production starts in L.A. next week.
"I called in my friends like Rosie [O'Donnell] and Danny [Aykroyd], Kirstie Alley, Maura Tierney and people that I really know," Drescher tells Zap2it. "And I'll continue to do that throughout the run."
With friends like that, who needs a talent booker? But, Drescher isn't just calling in her celeb pals. She also plans to bring on other people from her life who can shed some light on the star and share some knowledge with her viewers.
"I want the show to have a familiarity to it," she says. "And I think that when I'm with people that I already know details about them,...
