Thom Zelenka, Host Why does everyone blame me when the set catches fire? The Host: Thom Zelenka Thom Zelenka began performing in the kitchen at a very early age, not at the stove, but by making his Momma laugh with jokes, songs & stories. He also appeared nightly at the dining room table, by day in classrooms and occasionally on stage. He knew he loved making people laugh, even if it did cost him considerable time in detention. His desire to perform made him pack his bags for New York City. While waiting for his Big Break, he returned to the kitchen as Chief Egg Cracker for a film catering company. You would think after cracking 30 dozen eggs a day, frying hundreds of omelets, and squeezing about 25 oranges to make an obscenely large glass of OJ for one, Bobby De Niro, that Thom would be a pro in front of the stove.
