Italian term or phrase: prezzemolone televisivo
Non certo il grande cuoco che si è auto-espulso dalla sua cucina e auto-proiettato nel ruolo di prezzemolone televisivo, e neppure la fornellizzazione dei palinsesti con incorporata induzione al sogno di chi sta imparando la pratica del buon soffritto.

Grand fromage of the TV
Explanation:
If you want very current English, that's how I'd say it :)

It's current (at the moment) to say "grand fromage" instead of "big cheese".

I know "prezzemolone" means he's everywhere but "big parsley" doesn't have the same effect....
