New York, January 18, 2008 – We spent a long, cold afternoon with Rachael Ray at the Bryant Park ice rink in Manhattan, where she was taping what she claims is the first-ever talk show to take place on ice.  (Is that true?)  Ray was game, if a bit clumsy, driving the Zamboni machine across the ice, teetering on skates with hubby John Cusimano, and taking hockey lessons from Denis Leary.  Lara Spencer stopped by, and fell right on her rump – but she got up before we could snap a photo.  The show is set to air on January 31.
