Just a little over a year since signing off as lead anchor of “Entertainment Tonight,” Nancy O’Dell is returning to television as a special contributor for People magazine’s upcoming entertainment news show “People (the TV Show).”
“People is such an incredible and prestigious brand as well as a valuable and trusted brand,” O’Dell told Variety during an exclusive interview on Tuesday night. “When I heard they were doing a TV show, I was like, ‘Gosh, that sounds pretty cool.’”
Instead of coming back as a show host, the 54-year-old Myrtle Beach native will now head the “Nancy O’Dell Interview,” which will be reserved for sit-downs with A-list celebrities. “I’ll get to interview some of the people that I’ve grown to know and love while being in the business for 25 years,” she said.
