FYI(TM) TAPS CULINARY SHOWMAN CHEF SHARONE HAKMAN TO JOIN PRIMETIME TALK SHOW "KOCKTAILS WITH KHLOÉ"

PREMIERING WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20 AT 10PM ET

NEW YORK, Tuesday, January 5, 2016 - Khloé Kardashian's new talk show, "Kocktails with Khloé," has added Chef Sharone Hakman to appear in all eight episodes, premiering Wednesday, January 20 at 10pm ET. The series is hosted and executive produced by Khloé Kardashian.

Taped in a Los Angeles studio, the non-traditional set for "Kocktails with Khloé" is designed to replicate a true, intimate home environment; as such, it will feature a functional kitchen, dining area and living spaces - but no studio audience. In each episode, celebrity guests - including Khloé's friends and family - will join her in the kitchen and around the table for a lively dinner party prepared by Chef Hakman, where engaging and relevant conversations will pair with cooking, party games and, of course, Kocktails.

Formerly a financial planner, Hakman left the corporate world to follow his true love for food and pursue a culinary career. His standout performance in season one of "MasterChef" further ignited his passion and professional aspirations. Hakman is now a highly acclaimed chef and the owner of a barbecue sauce company.

"Kocktails with Khloé" is produced for FYI by Pilgrim Media Group. Craig Piligian and Derek W. Wan are executive producers for Pilgrim. Khloé Kardashian also serves as executive producer. Executive producers for FYI are Gena McCarthy, Toby Faulkner and Lauren Wohl.
