Thanks to his hilarious food review, James Wright Chanel became a viral video sensation. Now, he’s going to be on TV, too. Chanel, whose over-the-top take on a Patti Labelle-brand sweet potato pie has earned more than four million views to date, will star alongside Labelle in a holiday special on the Cooking Channel, according to People Magazine.
Labelle, who has enjoyed a six-decade music career in the R&B and soul genres, is a regular presence on the Cooking Channel thanks to her show Patti Labelle’s Place. For the holiday edition of the show, which will air on December 16th, Chanel will join Labelle in the kitchen. They’ll cook up all sorts of Yuletide treats, including (of course) sweet potato pie.
The special will be the latest collaboration between Labelle and her biggest fan. On Thanksgiving, Labelle invited Chanel to her home, where they danced together and sang a duet. They both have a lot to be thankful for: Chanel got to meet his idol, and thanks to his viral video, Labelle’s pies sold out at Walmart.
Their partnership won’t end on the Cooking Channel, either; as Labelle told People, they’re also planning a concert together. “We’re going to perform in more ways than one,” she said. “He can be my lead singer and I’ll be his background singer.”
