Leeza Gibbons has been entering the living rooms of America for over 25 years. Through her tenure as anchor of Entertainment Tonight in the 1980s and 90s and her popular talkshow Leeza (which garnered 27 Daytime Emmy nominations), Gibbons became a household name while highlighting her intelligence, sensitivity, and compassion.
As a presenter, producer and business woman, Gibbons exudes positivity and energy – she celebrated her 50th birthday while performing on season 4 of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars. And as well as launching her Fearless campaign to motivate women to live fearlessly at any age, she also has time to promote her own brand of mineral based makeup – Sheer Cover – and develop her Sheer Inspiration Life Coaching business. She even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As if that isn’t enough, Gibbons also took part in Olivia Newton-John's Great Walk To Beijing to raise money for cancer treatment.

This Father’s Day, Leeza Gibbons will be able to celebrate with her “optimistic, fun loving, very active 88-year-old” father Carlos — but that’s all thanks, in part, to a medical device that saved his life.
When the TV personality first found out that her father had been diagnosed with coronary heart disease, she encouraged him to take precautions by purchasing a Philips Lifeline medical alert system because of his high risk for getting a heart attack.
“I told him it would give me peace of mind and keep me from worrying so much about him,” Gibbons, 60, tells People. “Sure enough,...

Still surprised that under-the-radar Leeza Gibbons was able to take down behemoth Geraldo Rivera in the finale of "Celebrity Apprentice?" Don't be. "Throughout the entire season, Leeza was always the classiest and most composed," explains Gold Derby's latest contest champ Denton Davidson, who scored the best while predicting "Celebrity Apprentice" Season 7. "Leeza really never faltered once and was never called back to the boardroom by any of her teammates. She by far had the cleanest record going into the finale."

The battle in the boardroom on the season 7 finale of Celebrity Apprentice came down to two TV personalities: Leeza Gibbons and Geraldo Rivera.
While Geraldo was a fierce competitor, Donald Trump ultimately crowned former Entertainment Tonight correspondent and co-host Leeza as the big winner.
News: Celebrity Apprentice Fires Keshia Knight Pulliam for Not Calling Bill Cosby
The final challenge was to put together an advertisement for Universal Studios' Wizarding World of Harry Potter and have a viewing party to collect money and promote vacations. Leeza's team was working to raise money for Leeza's Care Connection, while Geraldo's group was working to collect funds for his charity Life's Worc.
Geraldo had some trouble with his team, with Lorenzo Lamas slamming the team leader, saying, "Geraldo's like a cold wind -- you kind of have to shelter yourself at first because it's snappy."

Tonight's finale episode, kicked off with the traditional live studio greeting from Mr. Trump. He said a few great things about the show and about the finalists: Leeza Gibbons and Geraldo Rivera. After that, they showed the continuation of last week's episode where Leeza and Geraldo got their Universal Orlando Resort commercials together. Geraldo made the decision to just take over everything after they ran into some issues. Meanwhile, Leeza and company were progressing along quite well, even getting ahead of schedule. Leeza praised Kevin's great directing skills. It was revealed that Geraldo was able to book Tony Orlando to perform at his event, and Geraldo actually teared up about it, lol!! Meanwhile, Leeza's team was a little concerned about the fundraising aspect of the task as Geraldo is a beast at it. Next, they showed the two teams doing their fundraising thing, and both teams seemed to be...

After a whole season of Geraldo Rivera confirming our suspicions that he's kind of the worst, former Entertainment Tonight anchor Leeza Gibbons managed to take it all in the season finale of Celebrity Apprentice. While Geraldo managed a respectable $146,000 in vacation packages along with the line, "I've shown that an old guy can still get it up," Leeza totally smoked him by raising $324,000 with some help from Olivia Newton-John and a song from Xanadu. Of course, the final challenge wasn't the only factor in determining the winner. Both Geraldo and Leeza had the chance to plead their case in front of Donald Trump, and neither one was afraid to play a little dirty. Leeza stressed the fact...

After two TV personalities created ads for Universal Orlando and paid their "Celebrity Apprentice" dues by praising Donald Trump, he awarded one of them $250,000 for their charity. That money is about the only thing that matters on "Celebrity Apprentice" finales, which are the worst part of a show that draws so much entertainment from celebrities being tested by high-pressure, quasi-business challenges. Since the decision is up to Donald Trump, it's always been like flipping a coin into a shredder: decisive but pointless. That said, Leeza Gibbons is an incredibly satisfying winner because she was such a non-controversial contestant all season, someone who was strong yet wonderful. She also raised more money in the final task, $324,000 to Geraldo Rivera's $146,000, and won the creative challenge, too. Trump told her, "you lead with kindness" and have "tremendous leadership ability." He also tried to get her a job with The Today Show. Before that,...

This season of The Celebrity Apprentice has been filled with drama, feuds and some amazing new vocabulary words "(toxic trick," for example). When Donald Trump called the three remaining celebrities, Vivica A. Fox, Geraldo Rivera, and Leeza Gibbons, back to the boardroom, we knew that Trump would whittle the trio down to the final two contestants.
What was unexpected is that Vivica signed her own pink slip by admitting that she is not as good a player as Geraldo and Leeza. Trump fired her, leaving Leeza and Geraldo as the final two competitors tasked with creating a commercial for Universal Orlando Resort that will be shown at a red carpet fundraising function. Let's see if we can figure out who will win The Celebrity Apprentice season 7 and a cool $250,000 for their charity.

America Now is ending after four seasons on the air. The syndicated lifestyle program which is hosted by Leeza Gibbons and Bill Rancic has been cancelled.
Raycom Media, which produces the daily show (via ITV Studios America) and covers all of its production costs, confirmed the cancellation.
“America Now is a show we are extremely proud of,” said Paul McTear, president and CEO of Raycom Media. “We love Leeza, Bill, the content and the fact that it’s family friendly and advertiser friendly. But it failed to measure up, from a business-model standpoint.”
Combining original content with segments from local stations, the show premiered as a one-hour show back on October 30, 2010. In September 2011, it was downsized to a half-hour daily show but two episodes often aired back-to-back.

When TV personality Leeza Gibbons married Steven Fenton in 2011, she joked that she was finally embracing "my inner cougar" - on their first date he was 38 and she was 51. Now approaching their two-year anniversary in April, Gibbons has given a little more thought to the dynamics of their relationship and concludes that "the term cougar has so much energy around it that doesn't really fit." "We laugh about it all the time," Gibbons, now 55, tells People. (Fenton is a longtime talent manager and former president of the Board of Education in Beverly Hills.)
