Darnell Ferguson‘s Food Network series is getting a revamp amid his legal troubles.
The competition series SuperChef Grudge Match will relaunch as Chef Grudge Match in August, with Laila Ali set to replace Ferguson as host, according to Variety. SuperChef Grudge Match originally aired for two seasons on Food Network from 2023 to 2024.
