A long-time co-host of The Chew is leaving. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daphne Oz will not be returning for season seven of the ABC TV show.
The daytime talk show features co-hosts Mario Batali, Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly, and Michael Symon discussing food-related and lifestyle topics.
Oz has been a co-host on The Chew since it began in 2011 and will not be replaced for the upcoming season of the ABC series.
From Oz:
It has been so much fun having lunch with you on TV’s most delicious daytime show for the past six seasons, and I am immensely grateful to have found dear friends in my co-hosts and our team. I have had the great privilege of growing up at our family table, and have shared some huge milestones along the way – including the birth of my first two children, and recent announcement of a third on the way! – and am lucky to have had The Chew as a bright beginning to my career.”
What do you think? Do you watch The Chew? Are you sad Oz is leaving?

I have watched The Chew since day 1. It grew to be a very good show and the hosts are really funny. Daphne was what I would call the weakest member but fun and knowledgeable. Always taking time off for having babies doesn’t really help a career. Sorry that see Daphne go but the four left will give us plenty of recipes and entertainment. Perhaps Daphne can sub every now and then.
The Chew producers: don’t hire a new 5th co host! Won’t work.
Daphen Oz has been MIA for most of the year Loved her but her heart was not into it.
I love the Chew. I’m a home cook that loves new dishes and trying different food. I’m writing my first cookbook. I would love to visit the chew as a guest host sometime. My new cook book will be called Southern Guy.
