Rachael Ray has something cooking, but it is no longer her talk show. That is because the chef announced today that this will be its last.
“In my more than 20 plus years in television I have had 17 wonderful seasons working in daytime television with Rachael. However I’ve made the decision that’s it’s time for me to move on to the next exciting chapter in my broadcast career,” Ray said. “My passions have evolved from the talk show format production and syndication model to a platform unencumbered by the traditional rules of distribution. I am truly excited to be able to introduce and develop new and upcoming epicurean talent on all platforms. That is why I am looking forward to putting all my energies into my recently announced production arm, Free Food Studios. Thank you to all of our Rachael daytime show partners, crew and affiliates, and the wonderful years we all worked together.”
In May, she will say goodbye to TV. And that same month, she will be inducted into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame. So it is the perfect time to close the chapter on one cookbook and start a new one!
