Did you watch Entertainment Tonight

Yes.

I did. But then I died.

Yes but I always liked It when Leeza Gibbons hosted instead of Mary.

Remember how Mary Hart's nice legs became a thing? That was foolish.

not since then except by accident

I watched it for a while, but I had to stop when Mary Hart's voice started causing me to have seizures.

That show was my first indroduction to Jim Carrey. I thought okay, this guy is different.

I used to love it as a kid. As the years went by, I realized entertainment news is just nonsense

Didn't Mary Hart turn MAGAt and start flashing white supremacy hand signals during public appearances?

I remember when Mary Hart"s voice caused epileptic seizures

Mary Hart’s voice was LITERALLY seizure inducing!

Mary Hart had a pinched, cunty face.

I had her workout video, my mother bought it to get me off my fat ass.

Yes, Mary Hart married Burt Sugerman and their spawn had a position in Trump's first administration. And then there were the claims of her flashing white power signs at an event. Leeza Gibbons would NEVER!

No. But I do miss Hard Copy.

I remember ET when Ron Hendron and Dixie Whatley were the hosts and Barbara Howar was a correspondent.

I liked Barbara Howar

The stories were so LONG in those days. In the latter days it became an addled frenzy of insubstantial clips

R3 I liked Leeza too.

Younger Bob Goen was so handsome Now he's a wrinkled old fart

[quote]"Shape Up With Mary Hart"

I was happier when she finally shipped out.

I only tuned in for Mark Steines

His wife’s death was very sad. Drunkard

Yes!

My college roommate made up lyrics to the theme song at that time:

Entertainment Tonight!

We got what you want.

Entertainment Tonight!

We got what you need.

We've got the stars

and the cash and the cars

So let's procee-ee-eed!

Yes, I did. And I remember that the show ran a LONG segment on the Playboy Playmate of the Month, or something related to Playboy, every few weeks. That was ... something.

I remember before Hart and Tesh in the first year of the show. It would probably seem to move at a glacial pace.

There was a segment called “Paparazzi Tonight” but I didn’t know what the word meant.

The original cohost was Marjorie Wallace, who only lasted a few months. She was a Miss World with big teeth.

She’d just as quickly been fired as Miss World for dating (married) singer Tom Jones while she herself was engaged to someone else.

It would seem she suffered from chronic bad luck.

Mary’s son AJ now works for that cunt Ron Johnson. I wonder if he’s responsible for curating a collection of porn for that asshole to watch with his son.

A certain ET correspondent hit on me at the gym, wanting to pee on me.

I passed.

Apparently, because the theme song just pierced my consciousness.

R29

Mary Hart wanted to pee on you?!?!?!

I watched it in the early 80s because Brooke Shields was in their reports a lot, and I was in total thrall to Brooke. I just waited with half-held breath every moment of the show for a Brooke clip or interview. Oh, beautiful Brooke! She was at peak beauty then. The rest of the show was embarrassing--I always felt as if it were an SNL skit. It could have been.

Dixie Whatley was lovely and seemed genuine in her niceness. Then came Mary Hart with her frozen dimpled smile. And John Tesh. Ick x 100.

Connie Selleca is a lucky gal....

I remember they did a special segment on Sharon Stone when she landed the role in Total Recall, they also featured the fact that she had a spread in Playboy and acted like that was also a huge career breakthrough, the V.O. was like "Schwarzeneggar, Playboy, Sharon Stone has it all!" My gay teenage self found it kind of bizarre because everybody knew only "women of the night" appeared in Playboy.

R34, I remember "Entertainment Tonight" going through a period years ago in which it was mandatory to have at least one "headline" story each day with heavy sexual content. As long as the story involved nudity or other "naughty" content, it didn't matter whether it had any actual connection to Hollywood or to American television. One of the more idiotic examples I can recall was a featured story that ET did on "the Chi-Chi girls," buxom Italian ladies who appeared on some stupid Italian TV game show, during which one of them would bare her breasts on the show while exclaiming, for no apparent reason, "Chi-chi!" ET did a featured story on this, complete with pixelated images of the boob-baring gals.

When I was a kid, as soon as the dinner dishes were all loaded into the dishwasher, we would sit down to watch ET at 6:30 and then PM Magazine at 7:00. Then we had to do homework before actual tv started at 8:00.

It seems insane to me now.

I do think Leonard Maltin's weekly reviews on ET and his annual review books started my deep love of movies.

R36 same here (re Maltin)

Entertainment Tonight was a mid-morning show here in Australia, just before the soaps began airing

Oh, sure. It used to hard to avoid. There would be bumpers on tv and it came on in the late afternoon before the news.
