The American version is produced by One Potato Two Potato and Endemol Shine North America. The original version of MasterChef originated in the UK. Gordon Ramsay co-hosts the show with Christina Tosi and they have various other chefs and culinary legends as guest judges. Williams made the cut! The new season of MasterChef, the seventh overall, debuts in June. MasterChef auditions amateur cooks, or home chefs, in a nationwide search and then picks the top 40 to compete on the show for $250,000 and other cool stuff like a cookbook deal. Hosted by the foul-mouthed, brash Brit Gordon Ramsay, MasterChef is one of the most popular cooking-themed reality shows on American television along with Top Chef. Williams is tackling the highly-competitive cooking genre when he appears as a contestant, or “cheftestant” on the FOX series MasterChef. And now he's about to enter the realm of reality TV…. He was even rumored to have appeared in a foot fetish porn video.
He took the poker world by storm in 2004 at the 2004 WSOP Main Event and has since then won nearly $10 million in both live and online. He became a top-ranked Magic: The Gathering player. He attended Princeton, one of the most prestigious universities in America. David Williams is truly a man of many talents.
