The Emmy-winning daytime talk show got cancelled after 17 seasons.
Rachael Ray premiered in 2006, hosted by the TV chef that would combine culinary demonstrations with celebrity interviews and health and lifestyle tips while featuring musical performances and pop culture news. The show won the Daytime Emmy for Best Talk Show in 2008, 2009 and 2019.
“In my more than 20 plus years in television I have had 17 wonderful seasons working in daytime television. 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. 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.”
Earlier that day, it was announced that Ray launched her own production studio called Free Food Studios, which will focus on “in the kitchen” content “and serve as a platform for the introduction and development of new and upcoming epicurean talent.”
