After 10 years, the Food Network is canceling Emeril Live, the cooking show featuring chef Emeril Lagasse. Although the long-running show will stop production on December 11th, Lagasse is still under contract with the Food Network and will continue recording The Essence of Emeril and will also participate in certain specials and development opportunities in the future.
In a statement released by the Food Network, Lagasse said, "I am deeply appreciative to all the unbelievable staff -- many who have been with the show since the beginning -- and all the loyal viewers, and the many talented guests who have appeared on the show through the years. I look forward to continuing my association with the Food Network with `The Essence of Emeril,' and I have lots of new ideas cooking."
When asked why the show was canceled, Food Network publicist Carrie Welch said, "The only reason would be that it hit a ton of television milestones and, you know, all good things come to an end."
