The Chew

"The Chew" is an engaging American talk show and cooking program that has captured the hearts of viewers across the nation. Premiering on September 26, 2011, it occupies a prominent spot in ABC's weekday daytime lineup, having taken over the time slot previously held by the iconic soap opera "All My Children." Inspired by the format of the popular talk show "The View," "The Chew" focuses specifically on food and lifestyle topics, offering viewers a delicious mix of culinary tips, lively discussions, and relatable stories. Each episode is uniquely organized around a central theme, allowing the audience to explore a wide range of topics, from seasonal recipes to culinary trends.

The show boasts a dynamic lineup of talented hosts, including renowned figures from the culinary world. Carla Hall, known for her infectious personality and expertise, along with Clinton Kelly, who gained fame from "What Not to Wear," bring a refreshing energy to the program. The roster also features Iron Chef America’s Mario Batali and Chef Michael Symon, both of whom add their culinary prowess to the mix. Rounding out the team is Daphne Oz, daughter of Dr. Mehmet Oz, who infuses wellness and health-conscious advice into the show. Together, they create an inviting atmosphere that encourages viewers to not only enjoy cooking but to also share their own culinary adventures.

In addition to the main hosts, "The Chew" enlists several correspondents for taped segments, enhancing the program's interactive feel. Notable figures such as Evette Rios and Marc Summers, along with former Food Network personality Danny Boome, contribute to the rich tapestry of content that "The Chew" provides. The show has also welcomed a variety of guest co-hosts, including culinary stars like Emeril Lagasse and Sunny Anderson, further diversifying its content. However, the show faced a tragic moment in its history when scenic designer Ivan Giovanettina was fatally shot in 2013, a loss that resonated deeply within the show's community. Despite such challenges, "The Chew" continues to thrive, bringing viewers together through the joy of food and conversation.
