Mary Hart has signed a new multiyear contract to continue anchoring "Entertainment Tonight."
Hart began her 25th season with the top-rated showbiz gossip show September 5. She was named co-host of "ET" on August 9, 1982 -- less than two months after joining the show.
"At this point, 'ET' and Mary Hart are synonymous," said Roger King, CEO of the show's syndicator, CBS Television Distribution Group. "She is as enthusiastic today as she was 25 years ago when she joined 'ET' and created a television icon together."
"ET," which launched September 14, 1981, has been the No. 1 syndicated entertainment newsmagazine for nearly 1,300 consecutive weeks.
