Fans of Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship have been wondering why longtime judge Nancy Fuller isn’t part of Season 13, and a new report claims to have an explanation for her unexpected absence.
Fuller, who had been a fixture on the holiday baking competition since its 2014 debut, was replaced by Girl Meets Farm star Molly Yeh for the new season, which premiered Nov. 2. The change disappointed longtime viewers, many of whom have questioned why the beloved judge was missing from the lineup.
Now, according to a Nov. 3 report from The U.S. Sun, salary considerations and a desire to bring in a younger, less expensive judge may have played a role in the decision.
Citing an unnamed source, the outlet reports that Fuller’s salary had become a factor in the network’s decision-making and that executives were looking for a younger replacement who would cost less.
The report also claims Fuller understood the decision and is now focusing on her family, health and home life. The source reportedly emphasized that Fuller remains well regarded at Food Network.

However, neither Fuller nor Food Network has publicly confirmed the explanation, and the anonymous source’s claims have not been independently verified.
The report comes as viewers are adjusting to a new judging lineup featuring Yeh alongside returning judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown, with Jesse Palmer back as host.
As Parade previously reported, Fuller’s absence sparked disappointment among fans who appreciated her warm personality, straightforward critiques and playful interactions with Goldman.
Fuller, who is also known for hosting Food Network’s Farmhouse Rules, has been associated with the network for more than a decade. Her absence from Holiday Baking Championship doesn’t necessarily mean her relationship with Food Network has ended.
For now, the reason Fuller isn’t appearing on Season 13 remains unconfirmed, despite the new report.
Holiday Baking Championship airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Food Network.
