A Healthy Conversion: Graham Kerr is eschewing fat for faith, hedonism for health
Graham Kerr spent the first half of his life becoming the most famous cook in the world: a television entertainer who at the height of his s fame as "The Galloping Gourmet" was seen by million people in 38 countries, sold 14 million cookbooks and circled the world 28 times.
Kerr has spent the second half of his life galloping away from that image, that food, that money, that lifestyle.
Once the life of the party, he now wants to save your life.
Kerr has become a Christian convert, an apostle of healthy eating and an apologetic parent. He's migrated from an 11,square-foot mansion with pool on Chesapeake Bay to a 1,square-foot home built snug as a ship, overlooking the Skagit Valley he is working to save.
In short, he walks the talk, baring his soul to provide an example of the possibilities of reform, redemption and change.
Yet, there's still enough showman in him to know that preaching makes bad TV. At 69, and having reinvented his cuisine to eschew fat, cholesterol, cream, alcohol and eggs, he faces the greatest challenge of his life: making health as fun as hedonism.
As always, it is Kerr'

Famous for leaping over chairs onstage with glasses of wine to start his show, Kerr made cooking fun. He would make jokes and innuendo in front of a live studio audience starting in the late s, using his native British accent to turn on the charm.

His nickname didn't come from the chair jumping, however.

The show only ran for two seasons (ending prematurely due to a personal tragedy), but was a huge success while on the air, garnering two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Achievement in Daytime Programming.
