Food Network Addict has learned
exclusively that
Dave Lieberman, popular cookbook author and host of Food Network's
Good Deal with Dave Lieberman, has been chosen as Emeril Lagasse's successor to the wildly popular
Emeril Live in a new show titled
Dave Live! 
Bob Tuschman, Senior Vice President of Programming & Production tells me: "
Emeril Live was one of the most succesful shows in Food Network's history. After Emeril stepped down, we searched long and hard for a new host who exhibited Emeril's expert knowledge and charm, while still providing something fresh and new. We're very excited to announce that Dave Lieberman will be the new host in the retitled show
Dave Live!"

The show will have a special
one-hour premiere tonight, April 1, at 8pm E/P.
Unlike
Emeril Live which was pre-taped,
Dave Live! will be broadcast live in front of a studio audience from Food Network studios in New York on a completely redesigned set.
"We think viewers will enjoy Dave's fresh take on the show, and will appreciate his ability to cook gourmet meals on any budget," says Tuschman.
