The Chew
I just heard The Chew was canceled! They seemed to be having so much fun with just Clinton, Carla and Michael. I was really enjoying it.

Re: The Chew
Wow....I am surprised. I don't really watch it but sometimes it's just on after the news and yes, they seemed ok. Think it's because of the pervert who was on that show? Don't know his name.

Re: The Chew
no, Good Morning America will be doing another hour in the afternoon and The Chew had to make room for it. I may stop watching GMA.

Mario Batali is his name. and Yes it was because of him (so they say). Drugging and Raping not a good look for the face of a TV show. If it was really doing well, they should have just replaced him.

Re: The Chew
It suddenly dawned on me...I seem to remember Good Morning America trying this in the past. I think Chris Cuomo was one of the anchors and I can't remember the other one. The tried an hour at some time later in the day and it was a huge flop. Anyone else remember it? Why would they take off an award winning show to try that format again?

Re: The Chew
Thinking the show cancellation is connected to Batali:
Three of Mario Batali’s Las Vegas restaurants are set to close, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. B&B Hospitality informed employees of Carnevino Italian Steakhouse, B&B Ristorante, and Otto Enoteca e Pizzeria that the restaurants will permanently shutter on July 27. All three high-profile restaurants are located on the Las Vegas Strip, in the Venetian and Palazzo resorts, and had been open for more than a decade: Carnevino celebrated its 10-year anniversary last year with a splashy dinner series.The unexpected announcement comes just days after 60 Minutes presented new allegations that Batali drugged and sexually assaulted a woman at New York City restaurant the Spotted Pig, and that Batali is under criminal investigation by the NYPD. In December 2017, following the first public allegations of sexual misconduct, Batali “stepped down” from operations at Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group; a few weeks later, the group announced plans to change its name to simply B&B Hospitality. B&B has recently said the chef/co-owner would divest from the group entirely by July 1.The Las Vegas announcement marks the first time a Batali restaurant will close seemingly as a result of the misconduct allegations. The closures will affect approximately 298 employees, according to B&B Hospitality partner Joe Bastianich, who informed employees in a letter.“These restaurants have continued to succeed, and they are a tribute to every one of you who works in them and brings great dining experiences to our guests,” Bastianich said in the letter. “Unfortunately, our partner in these restaurants, Las Vegas Sands Corp., has decided to end our relationship.” A spokesperson for B&B told the Review-Journal that Las Vegas Sands, which owns the Venetian and the Palazzo, made the decision to close the restaurants before the 60 Minutes segment aired.
