About half of the Food Network. She has three shows there (30 Minute Meals, $40 a Day and some random travel show). And she's just gotten a daytime talk show that's either syndicated or on one of the real networks.
She implicitly bills herself as the Anti-Martha -- perky, energetic and down to Earth. But she can't possibly be human...
Even if she only had one show, there's no way she could be human. Nobody is that perky, seriously. (She drives me NUTS, the only Food Network personality I can stand less is Emeril.)
Bobby Flay is about to be up to five if you count Iron Chef: America, the others being Boy Meets Grill, BBQ With..., Foodnation, and the forthcoming Throwdown.
Huh. I was actually just going to reply, on the off chance that it was a serious question.
(My answer was that, aside from cynicism, Ms. Ray is awfully Martha Stewarty for someone who bills herself as Martha Stewart, and has taken it upon herself to blanket the hell out of the entire food and craft market, one niche at a time. Also, I thought it was a cute pun.)
I suspect it was a serious question, but I'm tired of Eric's tone -- his inability to say *anything* without putting a gratuitously confrontational spin on it gets awfully annoying after a while. I've asked him to go away twice, and the second time he even implied that he would do so -- and then didn't. So banned it is.
Sorry for catching you in the middle of that. (And it *was* a cute pun.)

Date: 2006-06-18 02:59 am (UTC)She's getting paid to be the star of several TV shows. Any time she needs a perkiness pick-me-up, all she has to do is look at her bank balance.
Seriously, anyone will be that perky if you pay them well enough :)
