Bam! There goes ‘Emeril Live’

Food Network is kicking Emeril Lagasse down a notch.

The celebrity chef’s “Emeril Live,” which has been on the air for 10 years, will cease production Dec. 11, Food Network publicist Carrie Welch said Tuesday.

But Lagasse is under contract with the channel and will continue his “The Essence of Emeril” series, Welch said.

Asked why the show was canceled, she said, “The only reason would be that it hit a ton of television milestones and, you know, all good things come to an end.”

In a statement provided by Welch, Lagasse, 48, said, “I look forward to continuing my association with the Food Network with ‘The Essence of Emeril,’ and I have lots of new ideas cooking.”
