Is anybody else getting tired of Geoffrey Zakarian’s products dominating “In The Kitchen With David”?

Yes, especially since I don't find him to be especially likable.

I have always liked Geoffrey. Didn't know he was on with David. Never watch David's show. At least Geoffrey is a real chef who knows how to cook.

I got sick of him years ago. I still see him on Chopped and he seems to have gotten LITTLE very little, less abrasive. I perceive him to be very full of himself.

When I record The Kitchen I FF past him. Just too pretentious for me.

I am not a huge fan of his but like him better than the Cooks Essentials guy. That guy, makes me immediately change the channel. I don't think he is funny and there is way too much butt kissing there.

I don't mind Geoffrey so much on The Kitchen, but not on Chopped. I don't like any of the chef judges on Chopped except maybe Maneet.

I only watched a few full episodes of Chopped because I don't like the way the judges look at the chefs, mainly Alex, who has such disdain in her eyes.

I like to watch fun shows where people are having a good time.

Why is Martha Stewart a judge on Chopped? She is not a chef. Talk about a snob!

If anyone believes Zakarian is dominating ITKWD, they are watching a different show than I ever watch.

Seems like a personal dislike is going on while the real dominators are overlooked.

ITA with Free. I don't find GZ unlikable, or overbearing, at all. I still watch 'The Kitchen' even though I'm not a fan of Sunny. But now that she's been outside I just ff through her segments. It's kind of cool that the others are all in the studio now and, TBH, kind of wonder why she still works outside. I can see if she might be concerned about the virus, though, so no judgment there.

Alex G has grown on me over the years and I also like the others on The Kitchen. Jeff is silly funny, but so sweet. Katie Lee is lovely and, while I do have some problems (due to hearing issues) with higher pitched voices, I enjoy watching her and I love how she has her little family now and her husband seems likable as well.

I am always happy to see Geoffrey on IKWD !! I have ordered and enjoy many of his items! Especialy his recent cookbook!! He is a true professional!!!

I love his vegetable chopper. I have a mild case of essential tremor in my hands and there are times than using knives isn't in my best interest. That chopper works like a charm when I need it. Very even cuts and easy to clean.

I can take or leave Geoffrey Zakarian; he's no better or worse than most of the people who show up on ITKWD presenting their own products. I don't feel he is on air more than most of the others—it seems like he'll be on for a couple weeks in a row, and then he'll be away for a month and we get threads speculating that he's never coming back. As with most things around the Q, there's no pleasing everyone.

I bought his cookbook since I know I can get more use out of my two cast iron pans. His personality on ITKWD is much warmer than that on Chopped.

That Cooks Essential guy is Aaron McCargo and I love him!! He is witty and down to earth. He is a real chef too!! I enjoy watching another black host on QVC other than Jane. Please!! QVC makes too much money to not have more of a diverse host staff. Are there any Asians at all? I do not want any snide remarks. JMO!

@flashgordon, it’s a valid point.

I love Guy's Grocery Games as well as Diner's, Drive Ins and Dives. It is where I first saw Maneet before she started popping up on Chopped and other shows.

The show The Kitchen has a lot of strong personalities but my absolute favorite is Sunny Anderson.
