The Tiny Chef Show

The Tiny Chef Show follows the chef as he cooks tiny dishes from his tree-stump home on his in-universe cooking show, along with a robot named Olly, a snail named Henry and a caterpillar named Ruby. Sketches • '''What's in My Bag?''' – Tiny Chef hosts a game show where he asks his contestants Olly, Bonzo, and Henry what the main ingredient is in his bag. Olly is usually the one who gets it right. Tiny Chef wears an apron and a fake moustache when hosting this sketch. • Ingredient Documentary – The narrator explains about the history of a certain ingredient. In seasons two and three, the narration is provided by Spoon of the Stump Band. • Tiny Time Dance – Tiny Chef and Olly do the Tiny Time Dance while certain foods are in the oven as a transition between the start and end of baking. • Dish with Chef – Tiny Chef hosts a video talk show where he asks a celebrity questions revolving around the food, while he wears red glasses. When "asking for a friend" on how to get through a situation, the celebrity would give advice to Tiny Chef that would lead to him taking it. • Good Golly with Olly - Olly talks about certain things regarding the episode's content. == Characters ==

• Tiny Chef (voiced by Matt Hutchinson) is a vegan green humanoid creature who lives in a tree stump and makes different dishes. He speaks with rhotacism and often replaces phonemes with a "bl" sound. • Olly (voiced by Odessa A'zion) is a female robot made from different items who is Tiny Chef's best friend and assistant. • Announcer (voiced by RuPaul from "Pancakes" to "Home Movie Night", Alan Cumming from "Tiny Chef's Marvelous Mish Mesh Special" to "Lettuce Wraps", Nicole Byer from "Granola Bars" to "Dumplings", Amy Sedaris from "Avocado Sushi" to "Tiny Chef's Spooky Stump Spectacular", Rebel Wilson from "Fwendsgiving Feast" to "Vegetable Stew") is an offscreen announcer who introduces the show and sketches. The announcer's voice varies between the episodes and is always voiced by some sort of celebrity. • Robin (portrayed by Dana Alexander) is a live-action delivery girl who is friends with Tiny Chef and Olly. • Henry is a slow-moving snail with a colorful shell who helps Tiny Chef and Olly introduce the food of the day. • Ruby is Tiny Chef's fuzzy pet caterpillar. • Miss Penny is Tiny Chef's long-haired cat. In 2026, it was revealed that Miss Penny had passed away. • The Stump Band is the show's house band, a musical group of living kitchen utensils consisting of the wooden spoon on guitar (voiced by Michael-Leon Wooley), a wooden fork on drums, and a wood-handled spatula on upright bass. In season 2, the Stump Band was restructured with the wooden fork now on upright bass and the Stump Band including a cheese shredder who rubs thimbles against itself. The wooden spoon is the only member with any lines. • Bonzo (voiced by Alasdair Saunders) is a sentient can of beans most seen during the "What's in My Bag?" segment. He always thinks that beans (the only word he can say, a revision from his earliest appearances where he said other words) are in the bag. == Episodes ==

On November 2, 2023, it was announced that Nickelodeon renewed the series for a 12-episode second season, which premiered on November 20, 2023. Cancellation On June 24, 2025, Nickelodeon cancelled the series after three seasons. In response, the creators uploaded an animation on social media featuring Tiny Chef getting a call from Nickelodeon where he learns of the show's cancellation and begins to cry, which garnered viral attention. Subsequent shorts released by the creators included Tiny Chef sadly playing his banjo while singing "Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones as Ruby runs around knocking things over (including the camera), and becoming too depressed to get out of bed and make food, instead constantly ordering pizza and doomscrolling while smiling and laughing. Several celebrities, such as Florence Pugh, Melissa McCarthy, and Dionne Warwick have voiced support for the series and its creators, while film studio A24 have also reached to the creators as well. == Reception ==

Diondra Brown from Common Sense Media gave the series four-out-of-five stars, saying that it "will likely inspire children to want to get in the kitchen and make yummy dishes, big or small." Creator Reid reflects that audiences may connect with the show because Tiny Chef "looks for the good in everything" and is "also very human". Awards and nominations == References ==
