Celebrity news show E! News is coming to an end on linear television, and former anchors Giuliana Rancic and Jason Kennedy are expressing their thoughts.
In separate posts, the former co-hosts of E!’s news show took to social media to remember their time on the show amid the cancellation.
“For 20 incredible years, E! News was my second home and family. As the show comes to an end, I feel so fortunate to have been a part of this pop culture phenomenon that aired in over 100 countries and allowed me to travel around the globe meeting the most amazing and loyal viewers,” Rancic shared on Instagram. “Thank you to every single one of you for letting us into your homes every night. Anchoring E! News was my dream job and the professional honor of a lifetime.”
Rancic was a correspondent for E! News before becoming one of the anchors of the program. In 2006, she co-hosted the show with Ryan Seacrest. Rancic remained on the show as anchor and was joined by Jason Kennedy in 2012, before she left in 2019.
Kennedy also left in 2019, but had returned as a correspondent since 2023. The former E! News host also shared his thoughts on the show’s demise.
“End of an era for sure and although I was just a contributor in this second iteration of E! News, it still stings,” he wrote. “Very talented humans lost their job in this frustrating and ever changing business we call television. It was fun coming back to my old stomping grounds and hanging with my friends.”
He continued, “I lose track of how many people ask me how to navigate this industry right now. I HAVE NO IDEA! Sometimes it feels easier to pivot and try something new but for many of us, this is all we know. I’ll stick with it if you do too. I’ll always love you @enews!”
On Thursday, Deadline exclusively reported E! News was ending its broadcast on September 25. The brand would continue in the digital space and focus on social platforms where they have seem some growth.
