Rachael Ray Enters Talk-Show Fray

[CatWoman]

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) In case more than 12 hours a week (counting reruns) on Food Network, 10 cookbooks and a soon-to-launch magazine aren't enough to feed your Rachael Ray fix, the pixieish and increasingly ubiquitous TV chef is making her way to broadcast television.

Ray, best known for her "30 Minute Meals" show on the Food Network, has signed to host a daytime talk show set to launch in national syndication in fall 2006. The for-now untitled show will be produced by Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions, syndicator King World and Food Network owner Scripps Networks.

"People know me for my love of food, but I have so much more I want to share," Ray says. "Our show's going to be all about taking a bigger bite out of life. I want people to see themselves in this show, because life is full of messes and successes, and getting there is half the fun." (And can't you just hear her punctuating little laugh at the end of that statement?)
Other than its endorsement of chewing on larger chunks of life, details of the show are scant for now. It will be shot in New York, allowing Ray to continue appearing on the Food Network. And it comes with a hearty endorsement from Oprah herself.

"From the moment I had Rachael on my show earlier this year, I knew she had 'it,'" Winfrey says. "She has that connection with her audience that most people only achieve one-on-one."

wiffle ball bat about once a show to calm her down

[brentspeak]

16. She's a looker

She must have guys hanging all over her.

[AllegroRondo]

19. How many times can she say "E-V-O-O" in 30 minutes?

[Lethe]

21. we should make a Rachael Ray Drinking Game!

for 30 minute meals:


drink everytime she.....

1. says EVOO and twice if she says Extra Virgin Olive Oil afterwards
2. does something clumsy
3. comments about how she prepared lettuce or veggies ahead of time and grabs it from the fridge
4. her hair color actually gets lighter during the commercial break
5. mentions how "healthy" this dish is

anyone who doesnt hum the guitar riff on the commercial outros or intros has to chug continuously until the next time Rachael chuckles to herself


any other suggesstions?

[Richardo]

26. Don't forget 'garbage bowl'

That's good for 4-5 shots easy in 30 minutes. :thumbsup:

24. I like Rachel Ray

Can I help it if I have impure thoughts of her?????

[Richardo]

27. I like her a lot too, but that FHM photo spread (!) was the cheesiest ever

It was like a 15 year-old's parody of what a 13-year-old's vision of what a pin-up spread should look like.

Which is pretty much FHM in a nutshell, I guess.


(He said 'nutshell' a-huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh)

28. I don't care for her....

and there's no way in hell her meals take only 30 minutes to make...:)
