Pat Robertson Asks Black Co-Host: Is Mac And Cheese For Thanksgiving ‘A Black Thing?’

Pat Robertson Asks Black Co-Host: Is Mac And Cheese For Thanksgiving ‘A Black Thing?’

Pat Robertson isn’t sure what the deal is with eating macaroni and cheese on Thanksgiving. You know, the cheesy pasta dish delicious enough for the nation’s kids yet soft and supple enough for its geriatrics (read: Robertson, Pat).

700 Club co-host Kristi Watts on Wednesday showed a clip of her interview with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said her favorite Thanksgiving dish is mac and cheese. Watts agrees. Who wouldn’t?

Pat Robertson. That’s who. “What is this ‘mac and cheese,’ is that a black thing,” Robertson asked.

“It is a black thing, Pat,” Watts said, to her credit, being a good spirit about it. “It trips me out that you don’t” eat it, Watts told Robertson.

“I don’t, and I have never,” he said.

Happy holidays, or something. Watch the video:
