The 54-year-old US presenter Jimmy Kimmel shared a selfie of himself on Thanksgiving.
A scorched hairline is clearly visible under his cap.
"Happy Thanksgiving to all of you," Kimmel wrote.
"Try not to burn your hair and eyebrows while lighting the stove."
Obviously, his family didn't have to go without a Thanksgiving dinner.
Shortly afterwards, Kimmel posted another picture of him holding a crispy turkey in front of the camera.
Kimmel's eldest daughter Katie (30) simply commented on Instagram “again?” To which the presenter replied: “Yep.
It's now a holiday tradition. "
Not the first time
During an appearance on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" last year, Kimmel had already reported on a similar mishap on American Independence Day.
At that time he caused a "huge explosion" on his gas grill that scorched his beard, eyebrows and eyelashes.
Another time he burned his entire tie while grilling.
