A Pittsburgh native shared his hometown pride on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Joe Manganiello appeared on the show to talk about the NBC reality competition show he hosts, Deal or No Deal Island. But, he also talked about how he’s a die-hard Steelers fan.

“Well when you’re born there, it’s religion,” Manganiello said.

He’s so much a fan that his girlfriend made him a Steelers jersey cake with his name on it and an accompanying helmet cake. He also talked about the “incredible” experience of running out of the tunnel at Acrisure Stadium to twirl a Terrible Towel on the field before kickoff.

“It’s like 65,000 people screaming and going berzerk and doing what you’re doing,” he said.
