Guy Fieri is alive, but he recently suffered a serious leg injury and is currently recovering.

Recent injury

• In early November 2025, Guy Fieri fell down a set of stairs while filming his new Food Network show “Flavor Town Food Fight.”

• The fall caused a rare, severe rupture of his right quadriceps muscle, which doctors described as an unusually bad tear in the middle of the muscle.

Surgery and recovery

• He required emergency surgery to repair the damaged quad and prevent the muscle from retracting, and he has been told not to put any weight on the leg for about eight weeks.

• During recovery he is using a wheelchair and crutches, directing work and even his family’s Thanksgiving cooking “from the sidelines” while production on his show adjusts around his limited mobility.

Overall situation

• Despite the seriousness of the injury, reports indicate that he is in good spirits, focusing on rehabilitation and continuing his TV work with modified filming plans rather than stepping away completely.

• There are no credible reports that anything worse has happened to him; the main recent development is this significant but treatable leg injury and the temporary move to a wheelchair during recovery.
