The tribute will also include memorable moments from Paterson’s U.S. Those episodes will air on Food Network this fall.įood Network will air a special tribute to Paterson this Sunday from 9 to 11 p.m., featuring back-to-back episodes of “Two Fat Ladies,” including the premiere. Opatut said Paterson had completed four new episodes of the show before her illness was diagnosed. “Jennifer was dealing with her illness like she dealt with everything else – with great gusto and verve.” “She was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago and was being treated,” Opatut said of Paterson. “There are no current plans to continue the series with Clarissa alone,” Opatut said. Optomen Productions, which produces “Two Fat Ladies,” will not produce any more new episodes, according to Eileen Opatut, Food Network’s senior vice president of programming and production. Paterson and her equally hefty co-star, Clarissa Dickson Wright, were beloved by their fans for their politically incorrect attitudes – especially toward fatty foods – and for buzzing around the English countryside on a motorcyle, with Paterson driving and Dickson Wright in the sidecar. Paterson, 71, died early yesterday morning in a London hospital. JENNIFER Paterson, the cigarette-puffing, motorcyle-riding co-star of Food Network’s “Two Fat Ladies” cooking show, has lost a short battle with lung cancer.
