ABC is pulling the plug on the rest of the season of The Great American Baking Show, which aired Thursday nights.

Only one episode of the present season has aired.

The move comes amid sexual misconduct allegation against judge Johnny Iuzzini.

ABC released the following statement about the decision:

In light of allegations that recently came to our attention, ABC has ended its relationship with Johnny Iuzzini and will not be airing the remainder of “The Great American Baking Show" episodes.  ABC takes matters such as those described in the allegations very seriously and has come to the conclusion that they violate our standards of conduct.  This season’s winner will be announced at a later date.   Episodes of “The Great Christmas Light Fight” and “CMA Country Christmas” will take its place this week and next.
