I miss the old Emeril!

TD and I watched the new Emeril Green show this morning at 4 am. So not the same as the Emeril Live show on the Food Network! He was so subdued and matter-of-fact. It made me sad because he was not as lively. I do not know why he is no longer on the Food Network. If someone knows, please tell me. Yes, he was sometimes over the top with all the BAMs and what not, but he was fun to watch and, well, you gotta love a chef that loves pork fat! Do you like Emeril?
