KITCHEN NIGHTMARES
GORDON RAMSAY
Host/Executive Producer
A multi-Michelin star Chef with unmatched global impact and award-winning TV presence, Gordon Ramsay needs no other introduction. Ramsay holds a myriad of accolades not only for his culinary excellence as a chef and restaurateur but also as an Emmy-nominated and BAFTA-winning producer, judge, host and internet sensation with a social media reach exceeding 90 million. Approaching every endeavor with relentless perfectionism, his status as a cultural icon is earned from his steadfast style of leadership, both in and out of the kitchen.
Trained by acclaimed chefs Albert Roux and Marco Pierre White in London, as well as Guy Savoy and Joël Robuchon in France, Ramsay holds a constellation of restaurants across the world. Among these, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay stands as a testament to Ramsay’s unwavering talent and legacy, maintaining three Michelin stars since 2001. This exceptional achievement not only distinguishes it as London’s longest-standing recipient of the award but also solidifies Ramsay's position as one of only four chefs in the U.K. to consistently uphold the esteemed three Michelin stars.
Ramsay’s iconic on-screen presence has transcended generations, leaving an indelible mark on the TV industry as he seamlessly transitions between host, judge and producer with ease. Renowned for his highly successful and award-winning original programming, he hosts and executive-produces MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, Kitchen Nightmares and Next Level Chef. For his work on MasterChef Junior, Ramsay received a 2017 Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality/Competition Program. Producing shows on either side of the Atlantic and reaching over 200 territories, he is also the only talent on air in the U.S. with four prime-time national network shows.
In 2016, Studio Ramsay was launched in the U.K., bringing Ramsay’s creations to life and developing unscripted, digital, and scripted programming with a focus on innovative formats and fostering new talent. In 2021, Ramsay and FOX Entertainment announced their joint venture, Studio Ramsay Global, with offices in London, Los Angeles, and Glasgow, aiming to develop, produce, and distribute culinary and lifestyle programming for FOX, Tubi, and global markets. Notable mentions include Next Level Chef, which became the most-watched cooking series telecast in television history following its post-Super Bowl LVII Season Two premiere; Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours To Hell And Back, which was the highest-rated food show of 2019; The F-Word Live With Gordon Ramsay; Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted on National Geographic Channel, which airs in 172 countries and 43 languages worldwide; the ratings hit and BAFTA-nominated Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip for ITV; Gordon Ramsay’s Bank Balance on BBC1; the daytime cooking series Culinary Genius, which premiered on ITV in the U.K., and was syndicated on FOX stations in the U.S.; the ITV series The Savoy and Gordon on Cocaine; and the highly popular children’s series Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch, starring Tilly Ramsay, for U.K. children’s channel CBBC.
Balancing his time between Los Angeles and London, Ramsay is a family man at heart: devoting his free time to his wife, Tana, six children and their menagerie of animals. In 2014, the Gordon and Tana Ramsay Foundation was founded to make a meaningful difference to charities important to the family. The Foundation is currently partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital, one of London’s most respected Children’s Hospitals. Ramsay was honored with an OBE awarded by Queen Elizabeth II in 2006 for significant contributions to the industry.
