The Food Network issued a statement today that they're "looking for a replacement host" for Robert Irvine, the"Dinner: Impossible" guy, who was caught cooking his resume.
"We have not renewed Robert's contract for future seasons but will fulfill our contractual obligations," according to the network's president.
Irvine exaggerations included claiming he received a bachelor's degree from the University of Leeds, was knighted by the queen, was given a castle by Her Majesty, was chummy with Prince Charles and helped make Princess Di's wedding cake.
Irvine is supposed to be cooking at a April 10 charity dinner at Harry's Savoy Grill......I'm giving Harry's a call now to see what's up.
UPDATE: Harry’s executive chef David Leo Banks said. “My expectation is that he’ll be here. As far as chefs go, he’s just great.”
Harry’s owner Xavier Teixido said Friday he has not withdrawn Irvine’s invitation. “He’ll add to the event. He’s a fun person. We'll be delighted to have him.”
"The wagons were circled at Wednesday's taping -- nervous producers didn't allow press anywhere near as Irvine prepared dinner for 250 guests at the Pink Tie party, the kickoff fundraiser for the National Cherry Blossom Festival."

If he's a democrat, he should become a politician. They have the market cornered there.
