Finding the hottest cooking show hosts was a lot easier than finding the hottest news anchors. Except I wrote this post as I ate two-day-old Chinese leftovers and some deli sandwiches that were also pretty old, so my meal experience was decidedly sub-par.

#5. Rachel Ray

I knew that if I didn’t put Rachel Ray in here, some people (you know who you are) would complain no end. So she’s in here at #5. As an added bonus, though, I’m including a clip of her show where Jessica Simpson comes on. That should help a little.

By the way, here’s my favorite quote I found while doing research on this topic: “Ray is hot, if you are into scratchy voices that come from someone that looks like they are either a pirate or have suffered a stroke.”

#4. Ingrid Hoffman

She’s in her early 40’s, and still very cute. Sorry, but I couldn’t get a decent video of her on Youtube, but you can get a good sense of how she looks from Google Images here.

#3. Julia Child

I’m sorry . . . I had to. This is, after all, a humor site.

#2. Nigella Lawson

Nigella makes it all the way up to #2 for one main reason: she’s almost 50, and she still looks like this. Wow! Love the British accent, too.

#1. Giada De Laurentiis

Giada seems to be the most normal one out of everyone on the list. She’s also the hottest. Before you tell me I’m wrong, watch the special bonus video.

(Candy Smokers, let me know if I missed any.)
