Eighteen months ago, Charles Koppelman showed up on the set of “Emeril Live.” Koppelman, a former music industry executive, is an old friend of host Emeril Lagasse’s, although the two had fallen out of touch.

After the show, the celebrity chef remembers asking Koppelman what he was up to these days.

“He handed me his card and it said ‘Chairman of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia,’” Lagasse recalled.

Lagasse was talking Tuesday from New York, filling in the background to the bombshell dropped on Tuesday: the selling of Lagasse’s nonrestaurant holdings to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for $45 million in cash and $5 million in stock. Read more »

Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting our site and sending your well wishes and thoughts about ‘Emeril Live’. It is true that we will not continue production of ‘Emeril Live’ after the next filming in December, but I am looking forward to continuing a long working relationship with them for years to come. Emeril Live will continue to air on the Food Network for about two more years, with premiere episodes throughout 2008, and I will continue to host ‘Essence of Emeril’ next year. We are also looking into some specials and other new development opportunities.

’Emeril Live’ has been a wonderful experience over the past ten years, and I’d just like to say how deeply appreciative I am to all the unbelievable staff — many who have been with the show since the beginning. I’d also like to thank the loyal viewers and fans, and the many talented guests who have appeared on the show through the years. It’s been such an incredible ride…but there is much more to come. I have lots of new ideas cooking…so please stay tuned!!
