Editing Julia Child (section)

===On television===
* Child was the inspiration for [[Judy Graubart]]'s character "Julia Grownup," hostess of the parody cooking show ''Here's Cooking At You,'' on the [[Children's Television Workshop]] program, ''[[The Electric Company]],'' during its transmissions from 1971 to 1977. 
* In 1978, Child and [[Jacques Pépin]] were guests on the [[NBC]] [[talk show]] ''[[The Tomorrow Show|Tomorrow with Tom Snyder]].''  The program was to include a segment with the two chefs preparing food.  Before taping the show, Child borrowed Pépin's knife to cut something and accidentally sliced her finger.<ref name="Mock">{{cite web |author=Mock, Nancy |title=What Julia Child Really Thought About Dan Aykroyd's SNL Skit |work=Mashed |date=November 17, 2021 |url=https://www.mashed.com/659273/what-julia-child-really-thought-about-dan-ackroyds-snl-skit/ |accessdate=November 16, 2023}}</ref><ref name="Moskin">{{cite news |author=Moskin, Julia |title=Thanksgiving, the Julia Child Way |work=The New York Times |date=November 16, 2015 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/18/dining/julia-child-thanksgiving.html |accessdate=November 16, 2023}}</ref>  [[Tom Snyder]] was horrified that Child had injured herself, but Child insisted on continuing the program with her bandaged finger.<ref name="Faillance">{{cite web |author=Faillance, Adrienne |title=The Interviews: Jacques Pépin: Cooking show pioneer Jacques Pépin talks cooking, Child, and cut fingers |url=https://www.emmys.com/news/foundation-archive/interviews-jacques-pepin |accessdate=November 16, 2023 |date=October 3, 2018 |publisher=Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation |work=Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation Interviews}}</ref> Child told Snyder that, during the taping, Pépin would do the cooking, and Child would taste the dishes.<ref name="Faillance"/> Although Child did not want the television audience to know about her injury, during the taping, Snyder asked Child about her cut finger.<ref name="Crawford Smith">{{cite web  |author=Smith, Crawford |title=Jacques Pépin Recounts The Time Julia Child Cut Herself With His Knife On Live TV - Exclusive |url=https://www.tastingtable.com/1027275/jacques-pepin-recounts-the-time-julia-child-cut-herself-with-his-knife-on-live-tv-exclusive/ |work=Tasting Table |date=September 27, 2022 |accessdate=November 16, 2023}}</ref> After the show, Pépin and Child went to the hospital, where Child received sutures on her sliced finger.<ref name="Mock"/>  Afterwards, Child and Pépin dined at [[L'Ermitage (restaurant)|L'Ermitage]].<ref name="Faillance"/> ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' writers saw the ''Tomorrow'' episode with Child and thought it would make a funny sketch.<ref name="Mock"/> The writers took Child's relatively minor mishap and transformed it into a major accident.

* On March 14, 2022, the [[Food Network]] began a new series called ''The Julia Child Challenge''. The series is based in a replica of Julia's kitchen modified to allow eight contestants (all home cooks) to compete at the same time in a multi-episode cooking challenge. Each episode revolves around one or more episode of one of Child's cooking shows with clips of them interspersed into the contents of the competition. The winner will receive a scholarship to a cooking school in Paris.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/the-julia-child-challenge|website=Food Network|title=The Julia Child Challenge}}</ref>
