How is it, in the name of all things holy and dear to us, that Rachel Ray has a talk show?

Mind you, I do not have cable TV. So it really was by some accident that I even found out this show existed.

I was waiting in the waiting room at my doctor's office and on TV they had the channel that airs this wretched show. So having nothing else to do (and poor magazine selection), I watched what was on the TV which was the Rachel Ray show.

Her guess was the Cake Boss (whose name I also do not know) and he was here to show us how we can make professional looking cakes from store bought cake mixes and icings.

The entire time he was explaining stuff, which I found somewhat interesting, Rachel Ray kept interupting either to sell some of her schockey cookware or try to make the segment actually about her (because Rachel doesn't really like sweets and you can use that same expresso extract for none cake stuff).

If I was the Cake Boss I would have either walked off the stage or told her to STFU right there on stage. The segment wasn't about her it was about him.

of her show--not my thing--but I can well imagine what you are describing. Likely to be yet another case of ego-driven self-destruction.
