After nearly two decades, Rachael Ray won’t be on daytime TV any longer.
The celebrity chef’s syndicated show is coming to an end after 17 seasons, PEOPLE confirmed.
“In my more than 20 plus years in television, I have had 17 wonderful seasons working in daytime television with ‘Rachael,’" the cookbook author said in a statement. “However, I’ve made the decision that it’s time for me to move on to the next exciting chapter in my broadcast career.”
“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,” she said.
Ray ended on a thankful note, saying, “Thank you to all of our ‘Rachael’ daytime show partners, crew, and affiliates, and the wonderful years we all worked together.”
