The Real Reason He Canceled His Show
Gordon Ramsay’s numerous TV shows provide the Fox network with over 75 hours of programming every year, bringing in over $150 million in annual ad revenue. One of those shows was Kitchen Nightmares (my personal favorite), which ended in 2014 after a successful seven years. Ramsay revealed the surprising reason it ended, it was he who had canceled his show, and he explained why.

While he was filming an episode in France at a ski resort, the British fellow running the place (who Ramsay said he wouldn’t even trust to run his bath – let alone a restaurant) just wasn’t accepting the things that Ramsay was telling him. Ramsay thought to himself: “I’m done.” But Fox wasn’t so pleased with his plan to leave his show. And so, three years later, Ramsay came back with 24 Hours to Hell and Back.
