Ready for all of the latest entertainment news and gossip.

Hard to believe that it's been two decades (1981) since "Entertainment Tonight" made it's TV debut the entertainment news program has become one of the most popular in TV syndication history. From the first time you watch it you become hooked for many years. If you are an entertainment buff like me then you will enjoy this daily program when you have the opportunity to view the making of movies and TV-series way before they are released to the public. "ET" is also great to provide the latest information on any Hollywood star including both personal and private matters. I know the reporters have come and gone over the years and my favorites are the following and I have added my comments about them. 1. Bob Goen has been the best host ever always with a professional smile he takes the news so serious also. 2. The beautiful Julie Moran would always brighten the day of any viewer with that luscious smile and stylish colored clothing that we all saw her wear. Finally my favorite two "Entertainment Tonight" reporters are the best of all-time. 3. Leeza Gibbons got her start on "ET" only to pave her way to success with her own TV talk show "Leeza" and she has made several guest appearances on several TV-series, Leeza is one of the hardest working women in entertainment her great work ethic always showed during her "Entertainment Tonight" days. 4. And last but not least my favorite "Entertainment Tonight" reporter and all-time best TV hostess the very beautiful and elegant Mary Hart. Mary does her entertainment reporting in such a nice way always with a beautiful and concerned smile that is why she is considered in my opinion to be a TV reporting legend she's been a "ET" mainstay from the beginning and her beauty continues to ripen very mature with age making her all the more beautiful. Even from time to time you find an appearance from the best film critic Leonard Maltin. So "ET" is definitely the one to watch they have you covered top to bottom in the happenings of the entertainment world.
