Nancy O’Dell Exits ‘Entertainment Tonight’ As Co-Host After 9 Years

The first list contains a near embarrassment of riches for me; like being chosen as the host to step into the shoes of the legendary Mary Hart, what an honor, then the people, all the celebrities who have let me into their private worlds, many becoming good friends, and getting to work with so many wonderful and talented people here. I wish I had the time to list names because so many will forever be in my heart, like you, KFray [longtime co-host Kevin Frazier],” she said.

The red carpet veteran said she plans to continue working in the genre and will spend more time with her family.

“As I take on that list of things still to come, it means leaving this position, but it does not mean I am leaving the genre. I’ll be back and it won’t be long,” she explained. “I’m going to enjoy some time off with the most wonderful gal in my life, my daughter, because they grow up way too fast. She is always my priority and then I’ll focus on my new project.”

O’Dell then thanked her longtime talent rep and friend, John Ferriter, who died last week at 59.

Who takes O'Dells Spot is to be determined.
 
All the best to Nancy O'Dell in her next chapter a lot of shake up's for Extra, Access Hollywood & now ET. Keltie Knight would be a good replacement for Nancy or Brooke Anderson.
 
Part of the story here may be the declining ratings for this genre of TV. In the world of syndication, shows like Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood take a back seat to game shows like Family Feud and Jeopardy. Extra isn't even in the Top 25. These daily half hour shows are a lot of work. They cost a lot of money. Yes there's a hunger for this kind of news, but not from this kind of show. So I wonder what the real future is here.

ET will survive on name alone. The others might fail at some point but I can't see Entertainment Tonight going away.
