In the wake of the widely shared video announcing its cancellation, fans have rallied around The Tiny Chef Show with support for the culinary cutie’s continued kitchen experiments.
In addition to dedicating its Fan Club page to a roster of ways for fans to boost the show — including individual donations through PayPal and Venmo as well as bolstering Cheffy’s presence across social media channels — the show creators have transformed the official Linktree into a fundraising and connection hub. According to a representative for Linktree, The Tiny Chef Show‘s profile has doubled in views in just 48 hours since Nickelodeon’s cancellation was made public.
We’ve also heard from Change.org, which has hosted many campaigns by fans and creators to revive beloved shows, which says a petition to reinstate The Tiny Chef Show at the network surpassed 5,000 signatories in just 24 hours (currently boasting more than 6,500 signatures). The petition reads in part:
“Bringing back Tiny Chef is more than just reviving a television show; it is about restoring moments of joy and fostering lifelong memories for children and their families. Now, more than ever, we need programming that unites and uplifts us, reminding us of the simple joys in life.”
Supporters who made their comments public repeatedly note that The Tiny Chef Show is a rare piece of kids’ media that is enjoyed by parents as well. “Being able to have those moments where as a family we can enjoy together is something that is very special,” wrote one.
Another supporter said, “It’s a show that we can actually watch together. It’s a kids show that has no agenda, just a good well rounded show for the family.” Yet another added that Tiny Chef’s flair for vegetarian “weshipees” was “the first show that ever sparked an interest for my child to learn to cook. That was a huge deal for us.”
@TheTinyChefShow official account on Instagram posted early Friday morning a “Thank you” video for fans, with Tiny Chef doing his own blamazing cover of Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” while prepping a new dish (including pan flute solo). The #savetinychef post has received over 120,000 likes in just 9 hours.
