Cooking mogul Rachael Ray is ending her daytime talk show after 17 seasons to focus on a new production company she launched, she announced this week. Ray, who catapulted from appearances on Oprah Winfrey’s show to running an empire that included a magazine and cookware, has suffered a ratings decline in recent years. For those who cannot get enough of Ray’s choup, EVOO and Yum-O, episodes are expected to be on the air through the summer, Variety reported.
