Entertainment Tonight

"Entertainment Tonight" is a daily television entertainment news show that is syndicated by CBS Television Distribution throughout the United States, Canada and in many countries around the world. The show makes the claim that it is "the most watched entertainment newsmagazine in the world" (though by what measures this claim is verified is unknown). It is the longest-running entertainment news program, with its first broadcast on September 14, 1981, and was the first syndicated program distributed via satellite. It was announced on January 30, 2006, that ET has been renewed through the 2011–2012 season, which will be the show's 31st season.

As of June 2008, ET is hosted by Mary Hart and Mark Steines with several correspondents, including Thea Andrews (who co-hosts the weekend edition with Kevin Frazier). Leonard Maltin is the film correspondent and reviewer for the show, while Steven Cojocaru covers the Hollywood fashion industry and red carpet events.

ET also has many special correspondents who report on particular features for the show, usually having had a role in the program they work on. Paula Abdul is a special correspondent for ET's coverage of American Idol, and Dancing with the Stars had correspondents for the second season (Tatum O'Neal), third season (Lisa Rinna), and fifth season (Donny Osmond). Marcia Clark is a special correspondent for high profile trials and for the red carpet at awards shows.
