According to Ellie Kemper and Zach Cherry, hosting the “Great American Baking Show” is as awkward as it looks
Despite the widespread popularity of the, that success has proven difficult to replicate in the United States. Previous adaptations of the show have aired on ABC and CBS, but never quite managed to capture the interest of American audiences. But that could all change next year with the resurrected, a new series set to premiere in 2023 on the Roku Channel that will bring together beloved judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith on American television for the first time.
Ahead of the release of the full series, a special holiday edition of the show debuts on the Roku Channel on December 2 with a seriously stacked line-up of celebrity contestants that includes legendary NFL player Marshawn Lynch,star D’Arcy Carden, and actor/comedian Joel Kim Booster.
Eater sat down to talk with Kemper and Cherry about whether or not they’d rather be competitors on theinstead of hosts, their favorite moments on set, and Paul Hollywood’s obsession with killing flying insects hoping to get a taste of the bakes inside the iconicEater: Did either of you want to be contestants on the celebrity episode instead of hosts?I’m an amateur baker, but not to the standards of the show. I’m laughing because I actually have a piece of pie sitting here next to me.
Is it as awkward as it looks to interrupt people and have conversations with them while they’re furiously trying to bake in a time crunch?I’m so happy you brought that up, because I think Zach will agree that it is so awkward. I kept asking the producers because it goes against every fiber in my being. They’re frustrated, and they’re trying to bake, and my actual job is to interrupt them and talk about, like, their favorite vacation that they ever took.
Keeping things in the animal category, where we were shooting, basically every day at 3 p.m., about 50 rabbits would emerge around the tent. That was always bizarre, but luckily, no one zapped them.It was almost eerie, wasn’t it? I just want to mention that I know that bees are endangered so you probably shouldn’t go around zapping bees if you don’t have to. It was just in this tent. They were getting on the pies and stuff. I don’t want anyone to come after me.
