The Internet Is FURIOUS Over ‘Man Vs. Food’ Returning Without Adam Richman
Nearly a decade ago, the Travel Channel aired a show that could arguably have pioneered the concept of food porn. Man Vs. Food followed host Adam Richman around as he submitted his body to food challenge after food challenge across the country.
The show ran for 85 episodes before ending in 2012.
Now, food challenges are at the height of their popularity and the Travel Channel is bringing back its hit series – only without Richman.
Travel Channel announced the return of the beloved show with a new host, actor, and comedian Casey Webb. This news did not bode well with Twitter fans of the original show, who had no qualms with voicing their opinions regarding the announcement of the new host.
@travelchannel @caseyscall Definitely won’t be watching this.. No one can replace @AdamRichman !!

@travelchannel @caseyscall What a joke. The show became what it was because of its charismatic host & his passion for food. This is an insult. Done with this channel.

We’re sure fans new and old will learn to love Mr. Webb once the new Man Vs. Food airs. Kind of like how everyone loved Josh Meyers replacing Topher Grace in the final season of That ’70s Show.
