Morey's Piers' Tim Samson to appear on ABC's "The Great Holiday Baking Show"

If you've tuned into ABC over the past two weeks, you've likely seen commercials for "The Great Holiday Baking Show."

The short run contest series will feature a Wildwood connection, with Morey's Piers marketing director Tim Samson participating as a contestant.

A Michigan native, Samson has been with Morey's since early 2003, serving in a variety of prominent roles.

The show, which will premiere this Monday, November 30 at 10 p.m., is based off of the hit UK series "The Great British Bake Off." It will be hosted by Nia Vardolas ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding") and her husband Ian Gomez ("Cougar Town").

From the show's official site:

For four weeks, James Beard Award-Winning pastry chef and author, Johnny Iuzzini, joins England’s “Royal Queen of Baking,” author and television personality Mary Berry, as they judge the decadent and delicious holiday fare these bakers create as they throw down their best culinary skills.
