About Entertainment Tonight

The foremost authority on breaking entertainment news since its debut, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT is the No. 1 syndicated entertainment newsmagazine in the world. The show entered its 29th season on September 14, 2009.

Since its inception, ET has broadcast more than 7,400 daily shows - a television milestone by any standard. Widely regarded as a staple of American culture and the "most-watched entertainment newsmagazine in the world," ET is a broadcast phenomenon with U.S. versions appearing in China, France and Australia. In addition, Canada has its own version of the show.

Over the years, ET has earned a reputation for covering the entertainment industry with a steady stream of news stories on celebrities, film, television, music, fashion, award shows and special events in a trend-setting, groundbreaking format. By virtually creating this genre, ET paved the way for news outlets the world over to cover entertainment news. As the undisputed industry leader, ET regularly enjoys the status of being first with celebrity news, and has earned a reputation as a "safe harbor" for stars to tell their stories and set the record straight about their lives. ET was also the first syndicated newsmagazine - along with sister show THE INSIDER - to be produced in high-definition (HD).

Under the leadership of executive producer Linda Bell Blue, ET's talented on-air personalities include anchor Mary Hart, who begins her 28th season this year; co-anchor Mark Steines, who begins his 15th season this year; Kevin Frazier, who enters his sixth season as weekend anchor and correspondent; and respected film historian and correspondent Leonard Maltin, who starts his 28th season this year.

Comprised of breaking news stories, exclusive set visits, first looks at upcoming film and television projects, as well as candid, one-on-one interviews with Hollywood's greatest talents and celebrities, ET's regular segments include "The Latest News," a quick round up of the day's biggest stories; "Story from Studio 4," a lengthier analysis of Hollywood's hottest topics; "Real or Rumor," where rumors circulating Hollywood are confirmed or denied.

A previous daily feature entitled "The Insider," which gave the scoop on inside Hollywood info, was spun off in 2004 into its own stand alone nightly, entertainment newsmagazine of the same name. It premiered as the highest-rated debut of any newsmagazine in syndication since 1996. The highly rated "power hour" of ET and THE INSIDER running back-to-back airs in 47 markets across the country.

ET has been the No. 1 syndicated newsmagazine for the past 74 consecutive sweeps (totaling over 17 years): No. 1 among homes, No. 1 among women 18-49 and No. 1 among women 25-54. As the leading force in entertainment news, ET has been renewed through 2012.
