Samantha Harris will host Culinary Genius, a half-hour program executive produced by Gordon Ramsay, debuting Aug. 7 for a three-week summer run on select Fox-owned television stations. Edward Lee will serve as lead chef.
In making the announcement, Stephen Brown, FTS EVP of programming and development, said: “Samantha’s unique energy, engagement and enormous passion for people and food make her the perfect host for this show.”
"I am excited to be a part of this dynamic new show and especially for the opportunity to work with Gordon Ramsay. I can't wait for our audience to learn many culinary tricks from super-chef Edward Lee,” Harris said.
Culinary Genius is a half-hour program adapted from England’s ITV version of the same name, executive produced by Gordon Ramsay. The show begins with the lead chef offering a cooking demonstration for five amateur home chefs who serve as the day’s contestants. Contestants compete in a 25-minute cooking competition where the winner is crowned the culinary genius of the day. It is produced by Studio Ramsay and All3Media.
An entertainment news journalist and Emmy-winning TV personality, Harris is best known for her eight seasons co-hosting ABC’s live hit show Dancing With The Stars. She was a fixture on Entertainment Tonight as the weekend co-host and as the permanent fill-in host on the weekday show. She played the role of Roxie Hart in the long-running musical Chicago on Broadway and served as host of NBC’s reality competition show Stars Earn Stripes, co-hosted by 4-Star General Wesley Clark (retired) and produced by Mark Burnett, Dick Wolf and David Hurwitz.
Harris served as a co-host and correspondent on The Insider and was a correspondent on E! News, where she also co-hosted E! Network’s live award-show coverage for the Oscars, Golden Globes and Emmy Awards. Prior to joining E!, Harris was the weekend co-host and full-time correspondent for Extra, which she joined in 2003.
