Already, food shows starring Arsenio Hall and David Alan Grier are in development.

Well I don't know if they will attract "younger" with them. I don't think most 20 somethings know either of them. People my age (45)do though.

As long as they dont go overboard and completely change what Food Network is supposed to be about, see TVLand etc., then it should be ok.

that's not going to attract millennials and younger viewers - if they want to do that they are going to need to do shows that are all buzz clips and gross-out shocking stuff, like FOOD YOU CAN SNORT, and Food Apps, and Food Selfies, and that the limit of my imagination on this subject because I myself am old and crochety (according to my nieces and nephews anyways)

I just hope Food Network stays Food Network and doesnt JTS like so other channels have.
