The Rachael Ray Show

Rachael Ray, born in Glens Falls, NY August 25, 1968, currently hosts a New York City based show that is syndicated around the world. A co-production of Rachael Ray and Oprah Winfrey, The Rachael Ray Show currently draws 2.6 million daily viewers in America, making it one of the most widely viewed daytime shows. The path that Ms. Ray took to becoming one of the most watched Television Personalities has taken many turns, all involving food. Growing up in a family that owned and managed restaurants it is easy to see how Rachael became attracted to food preparation. Throughout her rise from Candy Counter Salesperson at Macy's to her starring role in Television's widely viewed daytime entertainment show, she has always insisted that she is not a chef, rather a cook.

After her stint as at the Candy Counter of Macy's New York, Ms. Ray moved back to upstate New York to become a buyer for a Gourmet Market. It was as a buyer that she developed her trade mark thirty minute meals in response to meeting customers that thought that cooking a good meal took too much time. Ms. Ray began teaching a course on cooking "30 Minute Meals" which led to a weekly segment on the local CBS affiliate newscast. Her earthiness,charm and straight talk with Rachael Ray colloquialisms made her a hit.

Rachael turned her classes and weekly news segments into her first of many cook books, 30 Minute Meals. A radio appearance promoting her first cook book brought her to the attention of the Today Show, where her appearance was noticed by The Food Network Executives who signed her almost immediately, recognizing that her down to earth New York mannerisms, charm and speaking style would endear her to their audience. The 2007 Oxford American College Dictionary added the phrase, EVOO, short for extra-virgin olive oil and credited Rachael Ray for coining the phrase.

After many shows on The Food Network including winning on Iron Chef America, Ms. Ray signed a deal with Oprah Winfrey and King World Productions to host a syndicated daytime talk show. With her natural ease, Ms. Ray has been nominated for and won Daytime Emmy Awards for her popular show.

The Rachael Ray Show combines guests, pop culture, entertainment and cooking, for an all around format that continues to gain popularity. Ever present is the small town New York State manners and ease of communication in her approach to every interview and cooking demonstration.

On October 6, 2010, The Mehron Makeup Team under the direction of Head Makeup FX Artist Meagan Hester visited the set of the Rachael Ray Show and turned Ms. Ray, her husband John Cusimano, guests and a flash mob into Halloween Characters using Mehron Makeup, founded in New York City in 1927.
